Summary
US spot Bitcoin ETFs reversed course in late October, with two consecutive days of buying adding $286 million and trimming the month's net outflows to around $26 million, according to Cryptopolitan. The inflows followed a sharp selloff in the prior week, when the funds shed roughly $774 million across Thursday and Friday. The bulk of that exit came on Thursday, October 22, with $635.49 million departing, while Friday's outflows totaled $137.94 million.
The inflows were about $110 million on Monday and $176 million on Tuesday, October 27. BlackRock's IBIT accounted for $151.46 million of Tuesday's total and Fidelity's FBTC contributed $24.54 million. FBTC's net assets of $14.20 billion rank second behind IBIT. All other US spot Bitcoin funds registered zero net flow that day. Net inflows year to date are about $850 million, and the funds traded $1.58 billion on Tuesday.
Aggregate figures remain substantial. Cumulative net inflows since the products launched in January 2024 stand at $57.47 billion, and net assets total $103.94 billion, equal to 6.40% of Bitcoin's market capitalization as of October 27. IBIT's cumulative net inflows reached $66.40 billion, leaving it with net assets of $65.52 billion, while Grayscale's GBTC shows cumulative net outflows of $28.00 billion.
Ether products did not share in the rebound. US spot Ether ETFs saw about $149 million in outflows on Monday and Tuesday after four straight weeks of net outflows, with October withdrawals reaching $1.32 billion, on pace for the heaviest month since November 2025. BlackRock's ETHA was the largest detractor, with roughly $93.3 million leaving on October 27, while Fidelity's FETH and Grayscale's Mini Ethereum ETF recorded inflows of $28.6 million and $4.5 million. Cryptopolitan had previously reported that Ether ETFs had shed $1.08 billion in October as of October 20, erasing around $832 million of September's gains. Ether funds retain roughly $485 million in 2026 net inflows as of October 20.
