Bitcoin ETFs kick off ‘Uptober’ with $103M inflow
Bitcoin ETFs returned to inflows with $103 million, while Ether funds recorded a third straight day of net outflows.
Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) resumed inflows with a $103 million investment in the first trading day of October, marking a notable shift after a strong quarter in 2026. Following a $148.7 million net outflow on Wednesday, Bitcoin ETFs saw $102.7 million in net inflows on Thursday, bringing their cumulative net assets to $109.3 billion and total inflows to $57.6 billion.
This positive start followed $6.34 billion in net inflows during the third quarter, including $2.65 billion in September. Bitcoin appreciated 42.71% over the quarter, trading around $85,900, up 2.1% in 24 hours, according to CoinGecko.
Despite the Bitcoin ETFs' resurgence, US spot Ether ETFs experienced a $55.4 million net outflow on Thursday, with a cumulative loss of about $118 million over three consecutive sessions. Solana and XRP ETFs also recorded outflows, with Solana ETFs seeing $6 million in net outflows and XRP ETFs attracting $4 million in net inflows. Meanwhile, Alternative.me's Crypto Fear & Greed Index dropped to 72 from 74, maintaining a "Greed" rating.
