US spot Bitcoin ETFs post $102.7M inflow on first trading day of October
In brief
- Bitcoin ETFs drew $102.7M in net inflows Thursday after $148.7M in Wednesday outflows, per SoSoValue.
- Bitcoin ETF combined net assets rose to $109.3B; cumulative net inflows reached $57.6B.
- Ether ETFs lost $55.4M Thursday, bringing three-day withdrawals to about $118M.
- Solana ETFs shed about $6M while XRP ETFs added about $4M, Cointelegraph reported.
Bitcoin funds flip back to inflows
It's a small number next to the quarter that just closed. It's still a positive one. Thursday's inflows lifted the combined net assets of US spot Bitcoin ETFs to $109.3 billion, and cumulative net inflows reached $57.6 billion, according to the SoSoValue figures Cointelegraph cited.
The products are coming off what Cointelegraph described as their strongest quarter of 2026. SoSoValue data showed $6.34 billion in third-quarter net inflows for Bitcoin ETFs (including $2.65 billion in September alone), and Cointelegraph reported that Bitcoin rose 42.71% over the same three months.
When Cointelegraph published its report, Bitcoin was trading at about $85,900, up 2.1% over 24 hours, according to CoinGecko. Alternative.me's Crypto Fear & Greed Index slipped to 72 from 74 a day earlier, which still leaves it in "Greed" territory.
Ether funds extend their slide
Ether didn't share in the rebound.
US spot Ether ETFs recorded $55.4 million in net outflows on Thursday, according to SoSoValue data as reported by Cointelegraph. That's the third straight session of withdrawals, and the funds have shed about $118 million across those three trading days. On Thursday, ETF products tied to the two largest crypto assets moved in opposite directions, with Bitcoin funds adding money as Ether funds lost it.
Smaller altcoin ETFs split
The smaller altcoin products didn't move in one direction either. Solana ETFs posted roughly $6 million in net outflows on Thursday, which extended their outflow streak to two sessions, Cointelegraph reported. XRP ETFs went the other way, attracting about $4 million in net inflows on the same day.
Those figures are tiny next to the Bitcoin and Ether numbers. They're still worth tracking, because they show investors aren't treating every crypto ETF the same way on a given day. One day of data doesn't make a trend, though, and Thursday's Bitcoin inflow came only a day after a larger outflow.
