Key Notes
- US spot Bitcoin ETFs returned to $5.06 million in net inflows on October 15, with BlackRock’s IBIT offsetting withdrawals from two other funds.
- Ether ETFs lost $60.22 million for a second straight negative session, as withdrawals from ETHA and ETHE outweighed Fidelity’s inflow.
- Combined Bitcoin and Ether ETF withdrawals reached $396.47 million across October 12–15, despite two positive sessions for the Bitcoin group.
US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds returned to modest inflows on October 15, attracting $5.06 million, while Ether funds recorded a second consecutive session of withdrawals at $60.22 million.
The split left the two groups with combined net outflows of $55.16 million, calculated from SoSoValue’s completed-session data. Bitcoin’s positive balance marked an improvement after Wednesday’s heavy redemptions, but was too small to offset the continued withdrawals from Ether products.
SoSoValue’s Bitcoin tracker and Ether dashboard both marked their October 15 updates as complete. The figures cover Thursday’s US trading session, rather than a rolling 24-hour period in crypto markets.
| US spot ETF group | October 15 net flow | October 14 net flow |
|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin | +$5.06 million | −$261.46 million |
| Ether | −$60.22 million | −$129.51 million |
| Combined | −$55.16 million | −$390.97 million |

BlackRock keeps Bitcoin flows above zero
BlackRock’s IBIT attracted $16.79 million, making it the only Bitcoin product in SoSoValue’s daily table to record a positive net flow. That was enough to absorb withdrawals from two competing funds and leave the category slightly above zero.
Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust, trading under BTC, lost $7.64 million, while Invesco’s BTCO recorded $4.09 million in withdrawals. The other nine tracked Bitcoin funds reported zero net flows, including Fidelity’s FBTC, Grayscale’s GBTC and Bitwise’s BITB.
The result represents a narrow return of net subscriptions rather than broad buying across the product lineup. A zero-flow reading also does not mean a fund’s shares stopped trading: investors can exchange existing shares without generating an equivalent net creation or redemption.
Thursday’s $5.06 million gain recovered only a small fraction of the $261.46 million withdrawn a day earlier. As our October 14 report detailed, that earlier decline was concentrated in Fidelity’s FBTC and BlackRock’s IBIT.
Ether withdrawals slow, but continue
BlackRock’s ETHA accounted for $44.39 million in outflows on October 15, while Grayscale’s ETHE lost $18.28 million. Fidelity’s FETH moved in the opposite direction with $2.44 million in inflows, partly offsetting those withdrawals.
The remaining eight Ether products tracked by SoSoValue recorded zero net flows. Individual fund amounts are rounded, which can create a small difference between their displayed sum and the provider’s published category total.
The $60.22 million aggregate withdrawal was less than half Wednesday’s $129.51 million loss. Across the two sessions, however, Ether ETFs still shed $189.73 million.
That renewed outflow followed the $24.84 million positive session covered in our October 13 update. Tuesday had ended ten consecutive trading days of Ether ETF withdrawals; the latest figures show that improvement did not persist into the following two sessions.
The week remains negative for both groups
Across October 12–15, Bitcoin ETFs recorded net withdrawals of $146.18 million and Ether products lost $250.29 million, based on CoinScreamer’s calculation from SoSoValue’s daily history. Together, the two groups were down $396.47 million through Thursday, with Friday’s session still outside that subtotal.
The figures arrive after a volatile day for the underlying assets. CoinScreamer’s market report tracked Bitcoin briefly breaking below $80,000 on October 15 before recovering, following stronger-than-expected US producer-inflation data. The fund-flow totals do not establish that ETF activity caused that intraday move.
SoSoValue put Bitcoin ETF net assets at $105.71 billion and Ether ETF assets at $15.29 billion as of October 15, both above the previous session’s levels. Asset values can rise even when money leaves a fund group because the underlying cryptocurrency prices also affect portfolio valuations.
Trading activity remained much larger than net capital movements: Bitcoin ETF shares generated $2.28 billion in turnover, while Ether products recorded $773.15 million. Those volumes measure shares changing hands, not new money entering the funds. Thursday’s mixed results also do not demonstrate that the same investors moved capital from Ether into Bitcoin.
