Bitcoin ETF Inflow Streak Ends With $149M Outflow
What happened: U.
What happened: U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $148.7 million in net outflows on October 1, 2026, ending a nine-day, $3.1 billion inflow streak. Fidelity’s FBTC led the outflows with $125.6 million, while Bitwise’s BITB saw $13.6 million exit. BlackRock’s IBIT ended its own nine-day, $1.6 billion inflow run with $9.5 million in outflows. U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs also saw $59.6 million in net outflows, led by $26.6 million from Fidelity’s FETH.
Why it matters: The streak’s end highlights shifting investor sentiment and possible caution ahead of key regulatory events. Despite the outflow, cumulative spot BTC ETF inflows remain robust at $57 billion since January 2024, with assets under management above $100 billion. Data discrepancies between providers (The Block: $148.7M; Cointelegraph: $202M) underscore the importance of cross-verifying ETF flow figures.
