Summary
US spot crypto ETFs displayed mixed signals on October 5, 2026, as capital flows diverged sharply across digital asset products. The single-day snapshot proved notable for running counter to the broader weekly trend: Bitcoin and Solana funds recorded net outflows while Ethereum pulled in fresh capital, and XRP funds recorded zero net flow. This intra-week volatility underscores rotating investor sentiment across the crypto ETF landscape.
The weekly picture tells a different story, with Bitcoin establishing clear market leadership. According to SoSoValue data reported on October 5, US spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $241.09 million in net inflows for the week ending in early October, marking the third consecutive week of positive flows. Since the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs in 2024, cumulative inflows have reached approximately $57.8 billion. In sharp contrast, Ethereum spot ETFs shed $138.02 million in net outflows over the same weekly period—a dramatic reversal from the prior week when Ethereum funds had captured $690 million in inflows, reducing year-to-date inflows to approximately $1.5 billion.
Smaller crypto assets showed more resilience. Solana spot ETFs posted $2.43 million in weekly net inflows, extending their positive flow streak despite the October 5 single-day outflow. XRP spot ETFs added $4.74 million for the week, continuing their own inflow run. More concerning was Zcash, which recorded its first weekly outflow of approximately $94 million for the late September through early October period. Bitcoin was trading near $85,000 to $86,000 during the data period, providing context for the broader risk-on positioning in the crypto ETF complex.
