Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs Lose $1.22 Billion in a Week
US spot Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) experienced significant outflows, totaling over $1.22 billion in net withdrawals during the week of October 5-9, 2026. Bitcoin funds saw their weakest week since late June, with net redemptions of approximately $679 million to $681 million. Ethereum products posted their largest weekly withdrawal since January 2026, with outflows of around $542 million over five consecutive days. The largest issuer in the space, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and its Ethereum counterpart (ETHA), accounted for significant portions of the total outflows. Solana ETFs saw around $25 million in outflows, ending a 14-week inflow streak. The selling also pushed their losing streak to nine consecutive negative sessions. The combined net outflows for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs came to approximately $1.22 billion, with ongoing regulatory developments and market volatility contributing to the selling pressure.
