Summary
U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds drew $304.73 million of net inflows in the week ending Oct. 23, 2026, while Ethereum ETFs lost $220.60 million, according to SoSoValue data cited by The Market Periodical. The Bitcoin inflows reversed two consecutive weeks of withdrawals. A separate weekly tally dated Oct. 22 showed Bitcoin ETFs gaining $443 million, lifting cumulative net inflows to $57.32 billion and total net assets to $104.71 billion from $104.29 billion the prior week. That rebound recovered about half of the $681.10 million lost in the week dated Oct. 9 and the $228.58 million lost in the week dated Oct. 16.

Ethereum ETFs remain under pressure. The $224.96 million outflow in the most recent weekly figure pushed cumulative net inflows down to $12.71 billion from $13.94 billion in late September. Across four weeks since Sep. 25, Ethereum funds shed roughly $1.23 billion. Total net assets fell from $17.78 billion to $14.57 billion over the same period, a decline of about 18% driven by outflows and a lower ETH price. Weekly trading volume also dropped to $2.37 billion.

Across the two products, crypto ETFs still posted net inflows of about $218 million, though the report notes that capital is flowing almost entirely into Bitcoin. Technical analysis in the same report puts BTC near $80,435 after a pullback from the $85,000 to $88,000 zone, with a weekly RSI of 54.55 indicating a slight buyer edge. The first support sits at $78,000 to $80,000, and a weekly close below that could send BTC toward $72,000 to $75,000. ETH trades near $2,330 with a weekly RSI of 43.04, favoring sellers; support is seen at $2,250 to $2,300, and a loss of that zone would put $2,000 to $2,100 in play.

The publication characterizes a single positive Bitcoin week after two negative ones as encouraging but not yet a trend, noting that Bitcoin ETFs saw a similar pattern in September when a $2.39 billion week was followed by outflows two weeks later.
