U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs logged a total net outflow of $65.40 million on October 12, with BlackRock's IBIT accounting for the entire day's exit, according to SoSoValue data.
Ethereum spot ETFs fared worse, shedding $85.39 million in net outflows and pushing their streak to 10 consecutive days of outflows.
Why it matters
Ten straight sessions of Ethereum ETF outflows signals something beyond routine profit-taking. Single-day outflows often reflect short-term positioning, but a streak this long points to a sustained pullback in institutional appetite for crypto ETF exposure.
Market impact
Combined, the two ETF complexes bled roughly $150 million in a single session, with no offsetting inflows reported. Watch whether the Bitcoin side stabilizes or follows the Ethereum streak, and whether IBIT's exit marks the start of a pattern rather than a one-off rebalance.
