US Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw outflows on October 22, ending a seven-day streak of strong inflows, according to Spot On Chain. Bitcoin’s price is near $67,200, reflecting trader uncertainty. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) remains a major buyer, acquiring 22,480 BTC worth $1.51 billion over the past week and increasing its total holdings to 392,121 BTC.

Bitcoin ETF Net Flows Turn Negative After Strong Week

After a week of inflows, US Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net outflow of $79.1 million on October 22. This shift coincided with the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) experiencing its largest outflow ever, at $134.7 million. In contrast, IBIT continued to grow, adding 637 BTC worth $43 million over six consecutive trading days. The cumulative total net inflow has reached $21.19 billion since inception, demonstrating strong investor interest.

Ethereum ETFs had a modest inflow of $11.9 million, rebounding from a previous outflow. BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) was the only fund with positive net flows, while the other nine ETFs showed zero net activity. Despite this positive change, the total cumulative net flow for Ethereum ETFs is still negative, at -$482 million, after 65 trading days. Analysts suggest that continued inflows could signal improving sentiment for Ethereum investors.

Bitcoin ETF Demand Remains Strong

Bitcoin ETFs have seen increased demand over the past 30 days, with peak net inflows of $556 million. This corresponds with Bitcoin’s price rally from $55,000 to $67,295. Initial outflows of up to $243 million indicated weak sentiment, but subsequent inflows suggest renewed investor confidence. The rising demand for Bitcoin ETFs highlights their impact on Bitcoin’s price, potentially signaling continued bullish momentum.
