Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF flows and price volatility

Overview

The cryptocurrency market transitioned from ETF-driven outflows in late 2025 to a significant rally in mid-2026, followed by renewed volatility. In August 2026, Bitcoin reclaimed levels above $70,000, supported by increased liquidity and a major short squeeze. By late September, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a massive resurgence, returning year-to-date net inflows to positive territory.

In late October 2026, capital flows experienced heightened volatility. While Bitcoin ETFs saw a massive surge on October 19, driven by BlackRock’s IBIT, which recorded a single-day net inflow of $665.16 million, momentum shifted toward substantial net outflows by October 22, with some reports citing figures between $635.6 million and $679 million. Ethereum ETFs faced a severe downturn, with outflows approaching $1.35 billion for October, marking one of the worst months for the asset since 2018. BlackRock’s ETHA was identified as a primary driver of these Ethereum-related redemptions.

By the end of October, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a negative net flow of $292 million over a 30-day period, the first time cumulative flows turned negative since late July. This coincided with Bitcoin testing the $76,000 support level. Despite this, market concentration remains high, with BlackRock’s IBIT capturing a 96.3% share of net inflows through October 26. Analysts noted that while Bitcoin’s win rate against the S&P 500 recovered to over 50%, its overall performance lagged behind the index during recent trading sessions.
