Ether ETF outflows erase September’s gains
The month’s withdrawals have reversed the previous month’s fund-flow gains. September brought $832 million into US spot Ether ETFs, but October’s larger redemptions have reduced their cumulative net intake for 2026 to approximately $485 million.
The withdrawals coincided with a decline in Ether’s market price, without the reported figures establishing a causal relationship. Ether traded at $2,438 at publication, down 9.7% from $2,700 at the start of October. Its year-to-date decline was nearly 18%, according to CoinGecko.
Bitcoin funds add inflows but remain negative for October
US spot Bitcoin ETFs moved in the opposite direction on Tuesday, drawing $23 million in net inflows after receiving $527 million on Monday, according to SoSoValue.
Those additions had not fully offset earlier October withdrawals. Bitcoin funds still showed about $67 million in net outflows for the month, while their year-to-date net inflows stood at roughly $809 million.
Bitcoin traded at $82,954 at publication, down 2.2% since Oct. 1 and 5.3% for the year.
Conclusion
With eight trading sessions still to go, October’s Ether fund withdrawals had already exceeded September’s inflows. Both Ether and Bitcoin spot ETFs nevertheless retained positive net inflows for 2026.
