Summary
US spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled in $526.6 million in net inflows on October 19, according to TradingView, marking their biggest single-day haul since September 22. The total was driven almost entirely by BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which took in $665.2 million on its own and was the only Bitcoin ETF to record positive flows that day.
The same session showed continued weakness elsewhere in the Bitcoin fund complex. Fidelity's FBTC saw $83.6 million leave the fund, and Grayscale's GBTC lost $54.9 million. The report notes that GBTC's continued outflows fit a longer pattern of redemptions as investors have shifted to lower-cost alternatives. Trading volume across all spot Bitcoin ETFs reached $2.09 billion on the day.
Ethereum and Solana products moved in the opposite direction. Ethereum spot ETFs recorded $103.3 million in net outflows, with BlackRock's ETHA accounting for $95.4 million of that total, extending a multi-day streak of redemptions. Solana spot ETFs also posted net outflows on the day. Notably, the same issuer that dominated Bitcoin inflows also led the Ethereum outflow chart.
October 19 followed a difficult stretch for Bitcoin ETFs, which had logged a series of outflows earlier in the month. The latest inflow helped narrow October's monthly deficit to approximately $90 million. Total net assets held by the funds stood at $105.46 billion as of October 19, equal to about 6.4% of Bitcoin's overall market capitalization. Since launching in January 2024, spot Bitcoin ETFs have gathered cumulative net inflows of $57.40 billion.
Investors are watching three factors: whether IBIT's dominance persists or other funds begin attracting inflows, whether the Ethereum redemption streak ends, and whether total net assets continue to rise from the $105.46 billion level.
