Bitcoin ETF Outflows Hit $261M as Ethereum Loses $130M
Bitcoin ETF outflows reached $261M on October 14, while Ethereum ETFs lost $130M, according to SoSoValue. Bitwise BITB bucked the trend.
- U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $261 million in net outflows on October 14.
- Bitwise’s BITB bucked the trend with $2.22 million in net inflows.
- Spot Ethereum ETFs lost $130 million, with BlackRock’s ETHA accounting for $110 million in outflows.
U.S. spot cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds faced another difficult trading session on October 14, 2026, as Bitcoin and Ethereum investment products recorded substantial withdrawals.
According to data from SoSoValue, spot Bitcoin ETFs registered $261 million in net outflows, reflecting more capital leaving the funds than entering them during the session.
Despite the overall negative result, Bitwise’s Bitcoin ETF, BITB, attracted $2.22 million in net inflows.
The positive flow into BITB shows that investor activity was not uniformly negative across every Bitcoin fund.
However, inflows into individual products were insufficient to offset the broader withdrawals.
The latest figures highlight continued fluctuations in demand for cryptocurrency investment products among traditional market participants.
Ethereum ETFs Lose $130 Million as ETHA Leads Withdrawals
Ethereum spot ETFs also experienced significant selling pressure during the October 14 session.
According to SoSoValue, U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs recorded $130 million in net outflows.
BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust ETF, ETHA, accounted for $110 million in withdrawals, representing approximately 85% of the category’s reported net outflow.
The figures indicate that ETHA played a major role in Ethereum’s negative daily ETF performance.

| ETF category or fund | Net flow |
|---|---|
| Bitcoin spot ETFs | -$261M |
| Bitwise BITB | +$2.22M |
| Ethereum spot ETFs | -$130M |
| BlackRock ETHA | -$110M |
| Combined BTC and ETH ETFs | -$391M |
The individual fund figures are included within their respective ETF category totals and should not be added separately.
Together, Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs recorded approximately $391 million in combined net withdrawals.
What Bitcoin ETF Outflows Mean for Crypto Markets
The latest Bitcoin ETF outflows provide another indication of shifting investor activity in cryptocurrency-linked investment products.
Spot ETFs allow investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum through traditional securities markets without directly managing cryptocurrency wallets.
When these funds experience net outflows, it generally indicates that redemptions exceeded new fund creations in value during the reporting period.
However, ETF withdrawals do not necessarily translate into equivalent declines in cryptocurrency prices.
Market performance also depends on spot trading activity, derivatives markets, liquidity and broader investor sentiment.
A single day of negative flows is not enough to confirm a sustained bearish trend.
Investors often examine several consecutive trading sessions to determine whether withdrawals reflect a broader change in demand.
For now, the October 14 figures show a clear pattern: Bitcoin ETFs lost $261 million, while Ethereum ETFs recorded $130 million in net outflows.
Despite BITB’s modest inflows, the overall session remained negative for both major cryptocurrency ETF categories.
