US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $643 million in net outflows on Friday, October 30, according to Farside Investors. The withdrawals erased four consecutive sessions of inflows and turned the October 26–30 week negative, with $202.4 million in net outflows.
The funds had drawn $440.8 million from Monday through Thursday. On Friday, five of the 12 funds posted withdrawals, seven reported no net flows and none attracted inflows. IBIT and FBTC were the largest contributors to the daily outflow.
Why it matters
The reversal shows how quickly ETF demand can change the weekly flow picture: four positive sessions were more than erased in one day. ETF flows offer a view of investor activity through brokerage-held Bitcoin exposure, without requiring investors to buy or custody Bitcoin directly.
The withdrawals were spread across five funds, rather than concentrated in a single product. IBIT saw $234 million in outflows, FBTC $201 million, ARKB $130 million, GBTC $53 million and BITB $26 million, based on rounded figures in Farside’s table.
Market impact
The week ended with net withdrawals despite its $440.8 million Monday-through-Thursday inflow, reversing an apparent recovery in the ETF channel. The figures track ETF flows, not total Bitcoin market demand, and do not by themselves establish the cause of the redemptions.
In July 2025, the SEC permitted in-kind creations and redemptions for Bitcoin and Ether exchange-traded products, allowing authorized participants to exchange assets rather than relying solely on cash transactions. Friday’s data show withdrawals across several Bitcoin funds, but no inflows to counter them.
