US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds notched a third consecutive week of net inflows last week, while Ether ETFs swung to outflows after a strong prior week, according to data reported on October 5, 2026. Bitcoin funds absorbed $241.1 million in new money, Ether products shed $138 million, and Zcash funds recorded their first weekly outflow on record.

The weekly figures highlight a split among the largest US-listed crypto funds: Bitcoin products drew fresh capital, investors pulled cash out of Ether products, and smaller altcoin funds posted mixed results. The data comes from SoSoValue, which tracks daily fund flows for US crypto ETFs.

Bitcoin ETFs Extend Their Inflow Streak

Bitcoin ETFs took in $241.1 million in net inflows last week, lifting their cumulative net inflows to $57.8 billion since launch. Net inflows measure the difference between money added to and withdrawn from the funds over a given period, so the cumulative figure captures total net new capital across the products since US spot Bitcoin ETFs began trading in January 2024. The funds also added money in each of the two weeks before, with inflows totaling $2.4 billion in one of those weeks and $6.2 million in the other.

Year-to-date net inflows for Bitcoin ETFs now stand at about $1.2 billion, a figure that reflects all money added and withdrawn since the start of 2026.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs hold actual Bitcoin rather than futures contracts, allowing investors to gain exposure to the asset through a regular brokerage account. Bitcoin was trading at about $86,200 at the time of the report, according to CoinGecko, up 3.7% over the past seven days.

Ether ETFs Reverse Course

Ether ETFs recorded $138 million in net outflows last week, a reversal from the $690 million in net inflows the same funds attracted the week before. Even with the outflows, Ether ETFs remain positive for the year, with year-to-date net inflows standing at about $1.5 billion, according to SoSoValue.

Spot Ether ETFs, which began trading in July 2024, work the same way as their Bitcoin counterparts. Each fund holds Ether directly on behalf of its shareholders. Ether traded at about $2,727 at the time of the report, rising 3% over the past seven days, according to CoinGecko.

That means Ether ETFs posted outflows during a week in which the price of Ether went up. Bitcoin, by comparison, saw both rising prices and fresh inflows.

Zcash Logs First-Ever Weekly Outflow as Solana and XRP Streaks Hold

Zcash funds posted their first weekly outflow on record, shedding about $94 million over the week. Before last week, the Zcash products had never recorded a week of net outflows, and the roughly $94 million figure marks the end of that run.

Other altcoin ETFs kept their streaks going. Solana ETFs added $2.4 million, while XRP ETFs added $4.7 million, extending runs of consecutive inflow weeks for both. Their weekly totals were smaller than those of the Bitcoin and Ether products. Since SoSoValue tracks these flows daily, next week’s tallies will show whether Bitcoin’s streak reaches a fourth week, whether Ether flows return to positive territory, and whether Zcash’s first outflow stands alone.

Sentiment Gauge Cools Slightly

Market sentiment cooled modestly over the period. Alternative.me’s Crypto Fear & Greed Index, which measures investor mood on a scale from 0 to 100, remained in “Greed” territory at 70 in its latest reading, down from a previous reading of 74. Under the index’s bands, readings from 55 to 75 denote greed, while 76 and above denote extreme greed.
