Summary
US spot Bitcoin ETFs posted $484.9 million in net outflows on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, reversing the $118.8 million of net inflows recorded the previous day. Per Farside data cited by The Block, the outflow was the largest single-day withdrawal from the products since June 25. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust and Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund led the redemptions, and Coinpaper reported that ARK also contributed to the withdrawals. Pluang characterized the flows as signaling weakening investor sentiment.
The outflows coincided with a decline in the spot price. Bitcoin fell about 1.8% to near $82,700 according to Pluang, while Coinpaper and other outlets reported a smaller intraday drop of about 0.59% to roughly $82,559. Commentary across publications attributed the selling to a combination of macro factors: rising US Treasury yields, a firmer dollar, and Federal Reserve communications. Publisher coverage pointed to the September Fed minutes as a key reference point, with one outlet noting they signaled a likely year-end rate hike. Higher-rate expectations generally weigh on non-yielding assets such as Bitcoin, and some reports also linked the sell-off to a surge in oil prices.
Technically, Pluang identified support in the $82,000 to $83,000 zone, and warned that further declines are possible if that level breaks. Broader market breadth was mixed: of 50 major cryptocurrencies priced on Pluang's platform as of 17:02 WIB on October 8, 22 rose and 27 fell. Several sources framed the outflow as the largest since June, but the publications differ on exact intraday prices, so readers should treat the specific price levels as approximate.
