U.S. spot Ether ETFs attracted approximately $15 million, ending five consecutive trading sessions of withdrawals.<\/p>\n<p>Solana-linked funds recorded roughly $585,000 in net purchases after a 13-session outflow streak, while XRP ETFs received around $709,000.<\/p>\n<p>The figures were modest compared with Bitcoin\u2019s intake, although the return to positive flows interrupted recent selling across several cryptocurrency investment products.<\/p>\n<p>Ether funds had already recorded substantial losses during October. Previous <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/ethereum-etf-outflows-bitcoin-etfs-october-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\">ETF withdrawal data<\/a> showed that U.S. Ethereum products lost more money than Bitcoin funds during the week ending October 16.<\/p>\n<p>Daily ETF flows measure net capital entering or leaving investment products through share creation and redemption activity.
