Spot Bitcoin ETF products in the United States posted net outflows of $462.7 million last week, reversing a strong three-week streak of inflows. As Bitcoin holders cashed out their positions, data from Farside Investors showed that US spot Ethereum ETFs pulled in $196.9 million in net inflows over the same four-day period.
Tracking data from SoSoValue shows that the Bitcoin ETF sell-off occurred across four consecutive trading sessions from Tuesday to Friday. This wave of redemptions cooled market euphoria, particularly after the investment products had just recorded their strongest inflow streak of 2026 three weeks prior. Three major spot ETF products - ARKB, GBTC, and IBIT - led the pack as the largest contributors to the outflows.
Steepest Daily Outflow Since July
The heaviest selling pressure occurred on Thursday, when US spot Bitcoin ETF investors pulled out a net $282.7 million. This single-session figure marked the steepest daily outflow recorded since July.
Outflows subsequently narrowed to $13.2 million during Friday’s trading session. Although the pace slowed sharply compared to the previous day, the negative close heading into the weekend extended the losing streak to four consecutive days.
September Balance Remains Intact
Despite losing nearly half a billion dollars in a single week, the cumulative monthly position for spot Bitcoin ETFs has not turned negative. As of Friday’s close, the products still held roughly $307.3 million in net inflows for September. Capital accumulated earlier in the month proved thick enough to absorb the impact of the four-day sell-off.
The rotation of $196.9 million in institutional capital into Ethereum vehicles amid Bitcoin outflows provides a concrete cue for retail traders: institutional players are not dumping positions to exit the crypto market, but rather reallocating capital into its closest rival asset.
