U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs added about $441 million over four straight days this week, enough to turn October’s cumulative flows positive — while spot ether ETFs bled for a third straight day toward their worst month since November 2025, according to SoSoValue data reported by The Bit Journal.
Summary
- Spot bitcoin ETFs took in $110.3 million Monday, $176 million Tuesday, $137.3 million Wednesday and $17.07 million Thursday.
- The streak flipped October to +$111 million, reversing the roughly $773.5 million that left on October 22–23.
- BlackRock’s IBIT accounted for about 94% of the three-day intake through Wednesday.
- Spot ether ETFs lost about $170 million over the same three days; October outflows near $1.35 billion are the category’s worst since November 2025.
The recovery was front-loaded. Monday’s and Tuesday’s prints rebuilt confidence after the two-day rout that followed October 22, and by Wednesday the three-day total of about $423.6 million had pushed the month back into positive territory.
One fund did almost all of it
BlackRock’s IBIT supplied roughly 94% of the inflow through Wednesday. On Wednesday itself, IBIT took in $136.01 million and Bitwise’s BITB $1.32 million — the only two of the 12 funds in positive territory. Thursday narrowed further: IBIT added $12.8 million, Fidelity’s FBTC $10.53 million and BITB $8.76 million, against $15.35 million out of the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust.
The complex now holds $104.877 billion in net assets, about 6.41% of bitcoin’s market capitalization, with cumulative net inflows since launch of $57.607 billion.
Ether ETFs tell the opposite story
Spot ether ETFs lost about $149 million across Monday and Tuesday and another $21.4 million on Wednesday — BlackRock’s ETHA alone shed $44.8 million that day. October’s outflows for the category reached roughly $1.32–1.35 billion, on track for the largest monthly withdrawal since November 2025. Ether’s price fell harder than bitcoin’s through the week, down about 6.5% to around $2,250 by Friday.
The split leaves the two largest crypto ETF categories moving in opposite directions into November: bitcoin funds rebuilding after the late-October washout, and ether funds still waiting for their first sustained bid.
