Summary
US-listed spot cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds recorded approximately $5.5 million in combined net outflows on Tuesday, October 20, 2026. Modest Bitcoin inflows were outweighed by withdrawals from Ethereum and Solana investment products, according to ETF flow data compiled by Farside Investors and CryptoETF.today. The figure covers only three categories, Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana, rather than every US-listed digital asset product, and the Solana total remained provisional.
Bitcoin ETFs attracted $23.2 million on October 20, a steep slowdown from the $526.7 million inflow recorded on October 19, which was their strongest daily total since September 22. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) accounted for the majority of positive activity with $29.9 million in net inflows, while Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) added $3.6 million. Bitwise's Bitcoin ETF (BITB) recorded $10.3 million in withdrawals. Across the first two sessions of the week, Bitcoin ETFs took in approximately $549.9 million, a contrast to $261.4 million in outflows recorded on October 14.
Ethereum ETFs lost $26.1 million on October 20, their fifth consecutive negative session. BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) drove the largest redemptions at $33 million, partially offset by inflows into Fidelity's Ethereum Fund (FETH) at $3.6 million and Grayscale's Ethereum Mini Trust (ETH) at $3.3 million. The streak followed $103.3 million in outflows on October 19 and totals approximately $388.9 million over five sessions. Solana ETFs also faced pressure, with approximately $2.6 million in net withdrawals after $6.7 million in redemptions on October 19.
CryptoETF.today's broader market figure of approximately $13.8 million in net withdrawals on October 20 reflected selling in products linked to Hyperliquid and NEAR, partly offset by inflows into Zcash-related funds. The gap between the two totals illustrates how cross-asset ETF aggregates depend on the products included. For allocators, the session showed that positive Bitcoin flows did not translate into broader crypto ETF demand. Whether Bitcoin's renewed inflows can persist while Ethereum and alternative crypto funds face redemptions will be clearer in the coming sessions.
