What happened
Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $681.10 million in net outflows for the week ending October 9, 2026, the highest weekly total since the last full week of June. The outflows were heavily concentrated in the middle of the week, with $487.07 million leaving on Wednesday and $244.13 million on Thursday. During that same period, BTC's price dropped from a rejection at $87,000 to a two-week low of $80,400. Ethereum spot ETFs posted five consecutive days of net outflows, extending a prior four-day losing streak to nine total days with no inflows since September 28.
Friday saw a modest return of inflows to Bitcoin ETFs, with $21.13 million entering the funds, but this was not enough to offset the midweek losses. For Ethereum ETFs, Friday brought another $56.10 million in outflows, with BlackRock's ETHA fund accounting for the entire daily loss. BTC closed the week above $83,000, while ETH fell to $2,553 after a midweek slide to $2,400.
Why it matters
The flow data shows a clear divergence in investor sentiment between Bitcoin and Ethereum. While Bitcoin absorbed nearly $700 million in ETF selling and fell less than 2% over the week, Ethereum fell 5.2% over the same period, with no days of ETF inflows to offset selling pressure. The concentrated two-day outflow event for Bitcoin, rather than a steady exit, suggests the selling was driven by a short-term price rejection rather than broad loss of confidence in the asset.
