Bitcoin ETFs See $103M Inflow as Uptober Begins, Reversing Outflows
What happened: US spot Bitcoin ETFs posted $102.
What happened: US spot Bitcoin ETFs posted $102.7 million in net inflows on October 1, 2026, bouncing back from a $148.7 million outflow the previous day. This brings cumulative net inflows to $57.6 billion, with total ETF net assets at $109.3 billion. In contrast, Ether ETFs saw $55.4 million in outflows, marking a third straight day of net redemptions. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index remains in "Greed" territory at 72, despite a slight dip from earlier in the week.
Why it matters: The return to positive flows signals ongoing institutional demand for Bitcoin exposure, even as Ether and Solana ETFs lag. This comes one year after the October 2025 crash that ended a seven-year Uptober rally, suggesting renewed optimism among ETF investors. However, the divergence between Bitcoin and altcoin ETF flows highlights persistent uncertainty around non-BTC digital assets.
