As of October 10, 2026, US spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs are closing in on $1 billion in combined net outflows for October. According to Cointelegraph, the two fund groups have shed $986.3 million so far this month — a reported October-to-date snapshot covering flows through Thursday. The pullback extends a stretch in which the funds have struggled to hold on to fresh money.

- ▼ Ether funds’ withdrawal streak has run eight sessions and reached $641.3 million, a window dating back to Sept. 29.

Nearly $1B Leaves Bitcoin and Ether ETFs in October
The combined net outflow total for the two fund groups stands at $986.3 million for October to date, according to Ground News. That places the month within striking distance of $1 billion, the level Cointelegraph flagged in its tally. The figure covers October through Thursday rather than a completed month, it counts net money movement across both fund groups rather than gross transactions, and net outflows simply mean redemptions exceeded new subscriptions across the tracked funds for the period.
Ether Funds Lead the Outflows
Ether funds have been the persistent side of the flow story. Their withdrawal streak has run eight consecutive sessions and reached $641.3 million, per the same report — but the streak began Sept. 29, so it spans the September-October turn rather than October alone. Within October’s own window, Ether ETFs shed $578.9 million of the combined $986.3 million total. The streak is the defining pattern of the fund-flow story so far: eight straight down sessions for Ether funds, with its $641.3 million total covering the full window rather than any single session.
Bitcoin ETFs Reverse Course
The Bitcoin side had briefly pulled money in before flipping. After two days of net inflows, Bitcoin ETFs shed $89.9 million on Monday, Ground News reported. The reversal came quickly, and it left the funds on the outflow side of the ledger.
Price Backdrop: Bitcoin Below $86K
The flows landed against a soft price tape. Bitcoin slipped below $86,000 as Monday’s outflow printed, and the token was roughly 32% below its October 2025 all-time high at the same reporting point, according to the report. Funds have been withdrawing while the asset sits well below its peak.
What to Watch Next
Three markers frame the rest of October. The first is whether Ether’s withdrawal streak extends past eight sessions or finally breaks. The second is whether Bitcoin ETF flows stabilize after Monday’s reversal. The third is whether the October total, at $986.3 million through Thursday, crosses the $1 billion line. Each is an open question tied to the running flow data rather than a forecast.
