Summary
U.S. spot cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds recorded a combined net outflow of $38.8 million on Friday, October 9, 2026, as renewed inflows into Bitcoin products failed to offset continued redemptions from Ethereum and Solana funds. According to Farside Investors, Bitcoin ETFs attracted $21.1 million, reversing the prior session's $244.1 million outflow and ending a two-day withdrawal streak. Ethereum ETFs lost $56.1 million, while Solana funds recorded another $3.8 million in redemptions. The combined figure improved markedly from October 8, when the three categories collectively lost $320.1 million.
The Bitcoin inflow was concentrated in a small number of funds. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) recorded $22.4 million in inflows, the largest positive movement among Bitcoin products, while VanEck's HODL added $2.3 million. Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) was the only Bitcoin product with net redemptions, losing $3.6 million. Other funds, including Bitwise's BITB, ARK Invest and 21Shares' ARKB, and Grayscale's GBTC, reported no net movement.
Ether ETF outflows were entirely attributable to BlackRock's ETHA, which posted the full $56.1 million withdrawal. Fidelity's FETH, Grayscale's ETHE, the ETH Mini Trust and Bitwise's ETHW recorded no net flows. The result extended a run of outflows that included $72.5 million on October 8 and $160.9 million on October 7. Solana ETFs, led by Bitwise's BSOL with $3.8 million in withdrawals, have now posted five consecutive losing sessions totaling roughly $25 million.
Despite the Friday rebound, the weekly balance remained heavily negative. Across October 5–9, Bitcoin ETFs lost approximately $678.9 million, Ethereum funds shed $542.2 million and Solana products recorded $25 million in withdrawals, for combined redemptions of about $1.25 billion. Bitcoin ETFs had lost $484.9 million on October 7 and $244.1 million on October 8, so the October 9 inflow offset only a small portion of those outflows. Flow data measures net creations and redemptions rather than trading volume, and reflects changes in investment exposure rather than direct evidence of future price direction.
