US Spot Bitcoin ETFs Record $442.62 Million Weekly Net Outflows as Ethereum Funds Face Persistent Redemptions
What happened
US spot Bitcoin ETFs logged $442.62 million in net outflows for the week of October 19–23, 2026, snapped by a sharp single-day redemption of $635.5 million on October 22.
The Context
* Midweek reversal erased gains: Funds attracted over $1 billion across the first three sessions before the October 22 drop triggered net weekly losses. * Ethereum sentiment diverged further: Spot Ethereum ETFs shed $224.96 million across the same window, stretching an ongoing redemption streak without single-day spikes. * Long-term base remains intact: Despite the weekly drawdown, cumulative net inflows since launch sit comfortably above $57 billion across $104 billion to $105 billion in total Bitcoin ETF assets.
The Number
— the single-day exit on October 22, marking the steepest daily withdrawal since June 2026 and illustrating how quickly algorithmic and macro repositioning can flip net weekly flow metrics.
Takeaway
Expect choppy sideways trading near $80,000 as fund managers balance quarterly macro risks against deep liquidity reserves.
