Ethereum ETFs Suffer Larger Weekly Outflows Than Bitcoin ETFs

Ethereum-based ETFs saw higher withdrawals last week compared to Bitcoin ETFs, with BlackRock's ETHA leading the trend.

Ethereum-based ETFs saw higher withdrawals last week compared to Bitcoin ETFs, with BlackRock's ETHA leading the trend. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $82,424.00, up 0.5% since this brief published. This is an original TLT brief based on reporting by Crypto.news, with live market data added, as of Mon, 19 Oct 2026 01:15:02 UTC.

Why it matters

The disparity in ETF outflows highlights shifting investor sentiment between Ethereum and Bitcoin, potentially influencing market dynamics and investment strategies.

Key takeaways
  • Ethereum ETFs lost $320M last week, exceeding Bitcoin ETF losses of $228M.
  • BlackRock's ETHA led Ethereum ETF withdrawals.
  • Bitcoin's price held steady near $81,238 during the period.

Last week, Ethereum-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw significant outflows, losing $320 million, while Bitcoin ETFs experienced comparatively lower withdrawals of $228 million. This data indicates a potential shift in investor sentiment, with Ethereum facing more pronounced capital flight.

BlackRock's ETHA was a notable contributor to the Ethereum ETF outflows, suggesting that institutional investors may be reallocating their Ethereum holdings. This trend emerges as Bitcoin's price remained resilient, trading near $81,238 during the same period.

The broader cryptocurrency market remained relatively stable, with the total market cap hovering around $2.81 trillion. Bitcoin's price increased by 0.81% over the past 24 hours, while Ethereum's price saw a more modest gain of 0.46% but experienced a 4.85% decline over the last seven days.

The Fear & Greed Index currently stands at 59, indicating a 'Greed' sentiment among investors. This suggests a cautious optimism in the market, despite the recent ETF outflows.

Investors will likely monitor whether this trend of Ethereum ETF outflows continues and how it might impact the price of Ethereum in the coming weeks. Additionally, the resilience of Bitcoin amidst these outflows could reinforce its status as a more stable investment option.
