US spot Bitcoin and Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) reported $549 million in net outflows last week, as investors continued withdrawing capital from the sector’s leading digital asset funds.

Weekly ETF Outflows and Market Moves

According to data from SoSoValue, Bitcoin ETFs lost $229 million over the week, while Ether ETFs saw even deeper outflows of $320 million. Both asset classes faced continued selling pressure, with the latest movements marking a second straight week of net outflows for Bitcoin funds and a third for Ether products.

Although significant, the pace of withdrawals slowed from the previous week, when the combined net outflows from US spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs reached $1.22 billion.

Spot Ether ETFs alone have now seen roughly $955 million leave in October — surpassing outflows from any previous month in 2026.

Spot Ether ETFs have now posted $955 million in net outflows this month, more than in any other period in 2026, as investors continue to reevaluate their exposure to the asset.

Ether (ETH) dropped 5% over the past week to trade around $2,433, while Bitcoin edged 1.3% lower, reaching $82,783, based on figures from CoinGecko.

Year-to-Date Net Flows Remain Positive

Despite recent outflows, both Bitcoin and Ether ETFs remain net positive for 2026. Bitcoin funds have attracted approximately $259 million in net inflows since the start of the year, while Ether ETFs have gained about $610 million over the same period.

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) enable investors to track the price of crypto assets like Bitcoin and Ether through regulated securities traded on traditional markets.

Other Crypto ETFs Also Record Outflows

Beyond Bitcoin and Ether, additional crypto ETFs experienced outflows last week. Solana (SOL) ETFs registered $26 million in weekly redemptions. Zcash (ZEC) funds lost $19 million, and Hyperliquid (HYPE) ETFs saw $18 million withdrawn during the same period.

Other tracked assets faced lighter selling, as XRP and BNB funds posted comparatively modest outflows of $1.8 million and $285,000, respectively.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s price stabilized around $82,000 after US Federal Reserve member Kevin Warsh refrained from signaling further interest rate increases.
