Key Takeaways
- • US spot Bitcoin ETFs posted a provisional five-session net inflow of $301.2 million for the week, per Farside Investors' preliminary table checked October 24, despite $773.5 million in withdrawals across Thursday and Friday.
- • Friday's Bitcoin outflows totaled $137.9 million after $635.6 million left on Thursday, with BlackRock's IBIT losing $110.3 million and Fidelity's FBTC losing $31.8 million on Friday.
- • Monday through Wednesday attracted $1.0747 billion into US Bitcoin funds, which carried the week's total positive before the late reversal.
- • Ether funds recorded a provisional weekly net outflow of $220.7 million, with a $110.6 million Thursday withdrawal outweighing Friday's $4.4 million inflow.
- • The figures are incomplete: VanEck's Friday entry still showed a dash rather than a confirmed zero, so weekly totals could change in subsequent updates.
Summary
US spot Bitcoin ETFs gave back much of their early-week buying by Friday, according to preliminary data from Farside Investors checked on October 24. Net outflows were $137.9 million on Friday after $635.6 million on Thursday, removing a combined $773.5 million. Monday through Wednesday had attracted $1.0747 billion, leaving a provisional five-session inflow of $301.2 million for the week.
Friday's Bitcoin withdrawals were concentrated in BlackRock's IBIT ($110.3 million) and Fidelity's FBTC ($31.8 million). Morgan Stanley's MSBT recorded a $4.2 million inflow over the same session.
The Ether fund table told a weaker story. Friday's reported inflow of $4.4 million followed a $110.6 million withdrawal on Thursday, producing a provisional weekly outflow of $220.7 million. The final-session gain did little to offset earlier redemptions.
The data carries caveats. Farside still displayed a dash for VanEck's Friday entry in each table, and that dash has not been converted into a confirmed zero. The totals should be treated as incomplete snapshots that subsequent updates could revise. The comparison also suggests Bitcoin fund demand was more resilient than Ether demand during this specific week, but flow data does not reveal who was buying, their holding horizons, or activity outside listed vehicles.
For the coming trading week, the key question is whether fresh subscriptions can replace the demand lost in the last two sessions. The positive weekly balance keeps that possibility open, but the late reversal offers limited evidence that institutional demand is a steady, one-directional buyer.
