Key Takeaways
- • US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $643.33 million in net outflows on October 30, 2026, ending a four-day inflow streak and more than reversing the roughly $440.7 million collected between October 26 and October 29, according to SoSoValue data.
- • BlackRock's IBIT led redemptions with $233.70 million, followed by Fidelity's FBTC at $201.04 million; together they accounted for about two-thirds of the day's withdrawal.
- • The outflow was the first full US trading session after the Binance security breach became known, but ETF flow data alone cannot establish why investors redeemed shares, and FinanceFeeds notes it should not automatically be attributed to the hack.
- • US spot Bitcoin ETFs still held $98.14 billion in net assets (about 6.34% of Bitcoin's market capitalization), with cumulative net inflows near $56.98 billion since launch.
- • Spot Ether ETFs posted another $155.85 million in outflows, extending their withdrawal streak to five sessions with roughly $431.5 million lost over that period.
Summary
BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led the withdrawals with $233.70 million, followed by Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) at $201.04 million. ARK 21Shares' ARKB recorded $129.55 million in outflows, Grayscale's GBTC lost $53.32 million and Bitwise's BITB recorded $25.72 million. The remaining reporting funds recorded no net creations or redemptions. The reversal is notable for IBIT, which had supplied $136 million of the $137.3 million entering Bitcoin ETFs on October 28, roughly 99% of that session's inflow.
FinanceFeeds reported that the October 29 inflows were placed before US markets had a full session to respond to the Binance security breach, so October 30 was the first full US session to reflect that information. The publication cautions that flow data alone cannot establish investor motivation, and that the session also coincided with broader weakness across cryptocurrency and technology markets. Total Bitcoin ETF trading volume reached about $6.35 billion, with IBIT accounting for approximately $5.21 billion.
Despite the single-day reversal, US spot Bitcoin ETFs held $98.14 billion in total net assets after the withdrawals, equivalent to about 6.34% of Bitcoin's market capitalization, and cumulative net inflows since launch stood at about $56.98 billion. Farside Investors' finalized table shows the funds recorded roughly $515.9 million in net outflows across 22 October trading sessions, following about $2.65 billion of inflows in September. IBIT remained positive for the month, while FBTC and ARKB recorded substantial monthly redemptions.
Ether ETFs saw parallel selling. US spot Ether ETFs recorded $155.85 million in net outflows on October 30, extending their withdrawal streak to five consecutive sessions totaling about $431.5 million. BlackRock's ETHA led with $76.64 million, followed by Grayscale's Ethereum Mini Trust at $34.14 million, ETHE at $21.51 million and BlackRock's ETHB at $19.51 million. Total Ether ETF net assets stood near $13.22 billion, with cumulative net inflows of approximately $12.29 billion. The key open question, per FinanceFeeds, is whether October 30 represents a one-session risk reduction or the start of a renewed redemption trend.
