Summary
Spot Bitcoin ETFs took in a net $305 million over the most recent week, according to Pluang, which reported the figure as a rebound after two consecutive weeks of outflows. The week opened strongly, with Bitcoin funds attracting more than $1 billion in early trading. Significant withdrawals on Thursday and Friday, however, reduced the weekly gain considerably, illustrating the volatility of short-term institutional positioning in the product.
Ether ETFs moved in the opposite direction. The funds shed around $220 million over the week, extending a streak of net withdrawals to four consecutive weeks. Pluang characterized the divergence as evidence of stronger investor appetite for Bitcoin exposure relative to Ether products. Cumulative net inflows stand at nearly $57.2 billion for Bitcoin ETFs and have fallen below $12.75 billion for Ether ETFs.
A separate report covering the same period noted that Bitcoin ETFs posted a net outflow of $137.94 million on Friday, reversing more than $1 billion of inflows recorded earlier in the week. That account identified BlackRock and Fidelity as major participants in both the inflows and outflows, and described Ether as stabilizing while Zcash-linked products continued to draw inflows.
Pluang's market snapshot, dated October 26, 2026 at 01:11 WIB, showed 36 of 50 major cryptocurrencies rising and 12 falling. Notable movers included LUNC (+2.06%), FTM (-2.05%), and XRP (+2.03%). These daily price moves are secondary to the fund-flow data, which points to a selective institutional bid favoring Bitcoin over Ether.
