On October 2, Bitcoin ETFs saw a net outflow of $52.9 million, reflecting the mixed sentiment in the market.
Ark’s ARKB ETF had the largest outflow at $60.3 million, while BlackRock’s IBIT ETF saw a smaller outflow of $13.7 million, according to Farside data.
In contrast, Fidelity’s FBTC ETF attracted $21.1 million in inflows, slightly balancing out the overall outflows. Meanwhile, other ETFs from Bitwise, Invesco, Franklin, Valkyrie, VanEck, WisdomTree, and Grayscale remained largely unchanged.
Ethereum ETFs, however, showed positive activity with an inflow of $19.8 million. Leading the way, BlackRock’s ETHA ETF brought in $18 million, and Franklin Templeton’s EZET ETF gained $1.8 million. Other Ethereum-focused ETFs, including those from Fidelity, Bitwise, and Grayscale, saw no significant changes.
This split in fund movements highlights the market’s volatility, with institutional investors showing a stronger interest in Ethereum products, while Bitcoin ETFs, particularly from Ark and BlackRock, face continued outflows, suggesting adjustments in market exposure.
