U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded $254.7 million in net outflows over the 30 calendar days through Oct. 26, even as BlackRock\u2019s IBIT has attracted nearly $962 million during the same period.<\/p>\n
\n Summary<\/span>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Farside Investors\u2019 historical data<\/a> put the combined withdrawal at $254.7 million when its rounded daily totals are added for Sep. 27\u2013Oct. 26, with the first trading session falling on Sep. 28.<\/p>\n The same historical table shows ARK 21Shares\u2019 ARKB losing $281.3 million across the 30-day window. IBIT\u2019s positive total therefore sat alongside withdrawals from competing products, with the category finishing negative after all issuers were combined.<\/p>\n For a July comparison, adding Farside\u2019s rounded daily totals for June 28\u2013July 27 produces $230.9 million in net withdrawals. The October window\u2019s loss was $23.8 million larger. Both calculations cover 30 calendar days and include only the U.S. trading sessions within those dates.<\/p>\n Earlier October coverage documented another week of Bitcoin fund withdrawals<\/a> during Oct. 12\u201316. As crypto.news previously reported on Oct. 17, Bitcoin products lost $228.4 million despite recording two positive sessions.<\/p>\n Across that five-session period, IBIT shed $165.4 million, and FBTC lost $60.2 million. Morgan Stanley\u2019s MSBT attracted $6.7 million, while Bitwise\u2019s BITB received $2.2 million. Invesco\u2019s BTCO and Grayscale\u2019s Bitcoin Mini Trust finished with respective withdrawals of $4.1 million and $7.6 million.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Farside\u2019s latest daily table<\/a> shows net inflows of $110.3 million on Oct. 26, $176 million on Oct. 27 and $137.3 million on Oct. 28. Together, the three completed sessions brought in $423.6 million.<\/p>\n BlackRock accounted for $397.8 million, or roughly 93.9% of that total, calculated from IBIT\u2019s daily entries. Fidelity contributed $24.5 million on Oct. 27, and Bitwise added $1.3 million on Oct. 28. The other listed products showed zero net flows across those sessions.<\/p>\n The buying followed $635.6 million in withdrawals on Oct. 22 and another $137.9 million the next day. Combined, those two sessions removed $773.5 million; the subsequent three-day intake recovered approximately 54.8% of that amount.<\/p>\n A separate Oct. 29 account of three consecutive inflow sessions<\/a> cited SoSoValue\u2019s total of $423.66 million. Its daily figures were $110.34 million, $175.99 million and $137.33 million, respectively.<\/p>\n SoSoValue placed the funds\u2019 combined net assets at $104.88 billion through Oct. 28, with cumulative net inflows of $57.61 billion. The same coverage recorded Bitcoin at $79,810.94 on Oct. 29, down 1.50% at its reporting time despite the return of positive ETF flows.<\/p>\n Glassnode\u2019s Oct. 28 market report<\/a> described ETF demand as weak, with trading averaging approximately $1.3 billion a day since May. Volume fell to $700 million on Oct. 23, among the quietest sessions of the year in its dataset.<\/p>\n The firm put the estimated average purchase price of ETF Bitcoin holdings at $81,500. Its True Market Mean, an estimate of active investors\u2019 average cost basis, stood lower at $77,900.<\/p>\n On Binance\u2019s spot order book, Glassnode found that bids around $80,000 had been filled during the Oct. 24 decline without being replenished. Remaining bids at that level totaled $3.4 million, while orders around $78,000\u2013$79,000 reached $42 million, up from $24 million in mid-October.<\/p>\n Its analysis used price and order-book observations through Oct. 27, while daily metrics, including ETF flows, ran through Oct. 25 or Oct. 26.<\/p>\n The cooling in fund demand had appeared earlier in the month. An Oct. 6 account of slower Bitcoin ETF buying<\/a> described Bitfinex analysts\u2019 assessment that weekly inflows had fallen from $2.39 billion to $241.1 million for Sep. 28\u2013Oct. 2.<\/p>\n Bitfinex\u2019s Oct. 5 analysis<\/a> recorded a nine-session inflow streak totaling $3.08 billion before a $148.7 million withdrawal on Sep. 30 ended the run. Its analysts linked the slower buying to investors returning toward their estimated entry prices, presenting that explanation as a possible contributor.<\/p>\n \u201cOur upside view is intact, but the timing depends on flows and not on the calendar,\u201d the team wrote.<\/p>\n Using Checkonchain\u2019s flow-weighted measure, the report placed ETF investors\u2019 average entry price at $84,320. Its alternative Glassnode estimate was approximately $81,700 at the time. Bitcoin had spent 233 consecutive days below the Checkonchain estimate, from Jan. 31 through Sep. 20, before reclaiming it on Sep. 21.<\/p>\n The Securities and Exchange Commission approved orders<\/a> in July 2025 allowing authorized participants to create and redeem crypto exchange-traded product shares in kind. Previously approved spot Bitcoin and Ether products had been restricted to cash transactions.<\/p>\n In its announcement, the agency said the change brought those products into line with other commodity-based exchange-traded products. Jamie Selway, then director of its Division of Trading and Markets, described flexibility and cost savings for issuers, authorized participants and investors as benefits of the process.<\/p>\n Commissioner Mark Uyeda\u2019s accompanying statement<\/a> described the earlier cash-only structure as requiring authorized participants to redeem shares for U.S. dollars, forcing issuers to buy or sell the underlying crypto asset on the open market. He identified transaction costs and exposure to price slippage among the burdens of that structure.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n\n\n
