Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded $681.10 million in net weekly outflows—their worst performance since late June—while spot Ethereum ETFs extended a multi-day losing streak without a single day of net inflows.
Bitcoin Funds Bleed $681M Amid Price Retrenchment
Data from SoSoValue shows that spot Bitcoin ETFs began the week with $90 million in net outflows on Monday as BTC's price was rejected at $87,000 and dropped by over $2,000. Although Tuesday brought a brief recovery with $118.86 million in net inflows, selling pressure surged over the next two sessions. Net outflows hit $487.07 million on Wednesday and $244.13 million on Thursday, driving Bitcoin down to a two-week low of $80,400.
Despite a modest $21.13 million inflow on Friday, the weekly total reached $681.10 million in net redemptions. This marks the heaviest weekly outflow since the last full week of June, when investors withdrew $1.79 billion. Total cumulative net inflows across spot Bitcoin ETFs fell from $57.79 billion to $57.11 billion. The price action mirrored market volatility as Bitcoin faces critical technical hurdles after massive ETF outflows.
Ethereum ETFs Extend 9-Day Losing Streak
Spot Ethereum ETFs suffered an even more consistent pullback, failing to generate a single day of positive flows. Redemptions opened at $50.76 million on Monday, accelerated to $201.89 million on Tuesday, and reached $160.77 million on Wednesday. The trend persisted with $72.54 million leaving the funds on Thursday and $56.10 million on Friday.
This five-day streak built on an existing four-day stretch of losses, marking nine consecutive trading days of net outflows without a single green session since September 28. During this span, cumulative net inflows for ETH ETFs shrank from $13.95 billion to $13.26 billion. In tandem with the capital flight, Ethereum—which had been halted at $2,800 a few weeks ago—fell from above $2,700 to a mid-week crash low of $2,400, before recovering slightly above $2,500. This ongoing weakness coincides with reports that Ethereum spot ETFs face extended outflow streaks during broader market pullbacks.
Key Takeaways
- Bitcoin ETF Outflows: Net weekly redemptions totaled $681.10 million, led by a massive $487.07 million exit on Wednesday.
- Ethereum Extended Streak: ETH funds recorded zero green days since September 28, reducing cumulative reserves from $13.95 billion to $13.26 billion.
- Price Impacts: BTC dropped to a two-week low of $80,400 on Thursday, while ETH fell to $2,400 before reclaiming $2,500.
- Historical Context: The weekly BTC outflows represent the largest institutional withdrawal since late June's $1.79 billion redemption week.
Why It Matters
The synchronized retreat across both Bitcoin and Ethereum institutional products highlights how sensitive spot prices remain to ETF flow momentum. With spot Bitcoin ETF reserves pulling back from $57.79 billion to $57.11 billion, macro traders appear to be taking profits around structural resistance levels rather than accumulating aggressively.
Moving forward, market participants should monitor whether Friday's mild $21.13 million inflow signals institutional re-entry or merely a temporary pause in a broader de-risking phase across digital asset products.
