what happened

Data from Farside Investors show US spot Ether ETFs recorded net outflows of $320.1 million between October 12 and 16. Bitcoin products lost $228.4 million over the same period. Ether funds ranked worse on flows because redemptions from Bitcoin funds slowed noticeably that week.

The week was not a record for Ether funds, which had lost roughly $542 million in the previous five sessions. BlackRock's ETHA accounted for about $299 million of the five-day loss, close to 93% of total withdrawals from US spot Ether funds. Fidelity's FETH posted a modest net inflow.

The industry-wide picture swung during the week. Monday opened with an $85.4 million outflow, Tuesday brought a $24.8 million inflow, and selling resumed on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

why it matters

ETF flow figures reflect share creations and redemptions, not the full level of demand for ETH. Still, the concentration of outflows in the largest Ether product suggests investors are distinguishing between issuers. Whether institutional interest returns to Ethereum as quickly as it has to Bitcoin remains an open question for the market.
