Summary
Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded $643.3 million in net outflows on Friday, November 2, 2026 according to CoinPedia, marking the largest single-day withdrawal from the products since June 25. Ethereum ETFs also came under selling pressure, with $155.9 million in outflows during the same session.
The withdrawals coincided with concerns surrounding a reported hack at Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume. The reported incident prompted a broader risk-reduction move among investors, which drove redemptions across the spot bitcoin and ether fund complex.
Analysts cited in the report described the outflows as a de-risking event rather than capitulation. Notably, the Bitcoin ETF withdrawals amounted to less than 1% of total assets under management, a level that suggests the selling does not yet signal a broader loss of institutional confidence in the asset class.
The article does not provide further detail on the scope of the reported Binance incident or confirm its technical particulars, and readers should monitor subsequent disclosures from the exchange and the fund issuers for updates on flows and any changes in institutional positioning.
