- • The Solana ETF complex ended a 14-week consecutive inflow streak with $25 million in weekly outflows, concentrated in Bitwise's BSOL.

Summary
U.S. crypto exchange-traded funds posted combined net outflows of $1.29 billion during the Oct. 5-9 trading week, the sharpest reversal in months, according to flow data tracked by Farside Investors and reported by BigGo Finance. The total spans five product categories and follows a prior week in which the same categories attracted a modest $29.2 million in net inflows.
Bitcoin and Ether funds accounted for roughly $1.22 billion of the weekly total. Bitcoin products lost $678.9 million despite a $21.1 million inflow on Friday, with the largest single-day withdrawal of $484.9 million occurring on Wednesday. Fidelity's FBTC led Bitcoin redemptions at $380.3 million, followed by ARK 21Shares' ARKB at $207.2 million. BlackRock's IBIT finished marginally positive at $1.1 million.
Spot Ethereum ETFs suffered five consecutive negative sessions totaling $542.2 million in withdrawals. BlackRock's ETHA accounted for approximately $477.1 million of that figure. Grayscale's ETHE lost $31.9 million and Fidelity's FETH shed $13.4 million. Morgan Stanley's MSSE was the only Ethereum product with positive weekly flows, adding $1.3 million. The reported weekly Ether outflow substantially exceeds earlier redemption episodes noted in the coverage.
The Solana ETF complex ended a 14-week streak of net inflows, posting $25 million in weekly outflows. Bitwise's BSOL accounted for $21 million of the redemptions, and every trading session in the week was negative. Morgan Stanley's MSOL recorded $1.8 million in inflows. Zcash products lost $30.8 million and Hyperliquid products lost $9.4 million during the week.
Analysts and data providers caution that weekly net flow figures do not by themselves establish a directional price view or confirm a sustained trend. Whether the outflows reflect a common macro trigger, rotation between assets, or independent fund-level decisions is not established by the flow data alone. Investors will watch whether the Ethereum outflow repeats in subsequent weeks and whether Solana products resume inflows.
