Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $82.39 million in net outflows on October 16, with BlackRock's IBIT accounting for $71.78 million of the total. Spot Ethereum ETFs posted another $69.68 million in net outflows on the same day.
Why it matters
Both major spot ETF markets saw net redemptions in the same session, pointing to weaker institutional demand across Bitcoin and Ethereum products. The concentration of Bitcoin outflows in IBIT made BlackRock's fund the largest drag on the day's BTC flow balance.
Ethereum's result marked its third consecutive day of net outflows. All of the day's Ethereum ETF redemptions came from BlackRock's ETHA.
Market impact
The combined outflows reinforce a risk-off signal in institutional ETF positioning, with nearly $152 million leaving spot Bitcoin and Ethereum products in one session. Investors will be watching whether the Ethereum streak continues and whether IBIT remains the main source of Bitcoin ETF redemptions.
