US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $137 million in net inflows on October 28 2026 while spot Ether ETFs recorded $21.41 million in net outflows, led by BlackRock's IBIT and ETHA respectively. The divergence follows a three-day Bitcoin inflow streak and persistent Ether withdrawals amid Bitcoin trading near $80,000 and Ethereum near $2,300. Cumulative Bitcoin ETF inflows of roughly $57.61 billion and $104.88 billion in assets under management point to continued institutional allocation to Bitcoin over Ether as the core crypto ETF channel.
