Summary
Institutional capital continued to exit U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds, according to data compiled by Trader T and reported by BigGo Finance on October 13, 2026. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs posted net outflows of $65.4 million (approximately ₩88 billion) on the prior session, a reversal from the previous day's net inflows. The entire outflow was attributed to BlackRock's IBIT, which shed $65.4 million, while the remaining spot Bitcoin products recorded no net flows.
On a monthly basis, cumulative net outflows from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have reached $451.8 million (approximately ₩610 billion). Year-to-date, however, the category still shows net inflows of $478.6 million (approximately ₩640 billion). The weekly picture was weaker: across the five sessions from the 5th to the 9th, the funds recorded net outflows of approximately $678.9 million (approximately ₩910 billion). The week opened with $89.9 million of outflows on the 5th and a brief $118.8 million inflow on the 6th, before a $484.9 million exodus on the 7th, the largest single-day outflow of the week. A further $244.1 million left on the 8th, and a $21.1 million inflow on the 9th did not offset the losses.
Flows were concentrated at the largest issuers. IBIT shed $207.7 million on the 7th and recovered $22.4 million on the 9th. Fidelity's FBTC recorded net outflows of $197.1 million on the 8th. The publisher characterized the activity as reflecting risk-averse investor sentiment.
The outflows coincided with a price decline. Bitcoin began the week near $86,480 and closed near $82,546, a weekly decline exceeding 3%. Market participants are monitoring whether institutional demand returns, with concern that sustained redemptions could erode Bitcoin's recent upward momentum.
