Key Takeaways
- • Ethereum spot ETFs attracted approximately $16.1 million on Monday, October 26, 2026, per Alpha Finance's latest preliminary reporting, with Fidelity's Ethereum Fund (FETH) accounting for the identified inflow.
- • Solana ETFs lost approximately $8.2 million, led by a $7.2 million redemption from Bitwise's BSOL, partly offset by roughly $800,000 entering Morgan Stanley's Solana product.
- • Hyperliquid ETFs recorded approximately $4.3 million in withdrawals, while Bitcoin ETF data for the session remained incomplete, so no reliable market-wide aggregate can be calculated.
- • Bitcoin ETFs had lost $773.5 million over October 22 and 23 before the new week, though they still posted $301.2 million in net inflows for October 19–23.
- • The incomplete data lands ahead of the Federal Reserve's October 27–28 policy meeting, with Bitcoin having briefly fallen below $80,000.
Summary
US spot crypto ETFs showed mixed activity on Monday, October 26, 2026, according to preliminary data, but reporting remained incomplete and the day's aggregate flows cannot yet be established. According to Alpha Finance, Ethereum ETFs drew approximately $16.1 million, Solana products lost $8.2 million, and Hyperliquid funds recorded $4.3 million in redemptions. A separate tracker, CryptoETF.today, showed a provisional $7.2 million outflow across its covered products, but had received only one of 58 expected fund reports. Both sources stress that these figures are not final industry-wide results.
Ethereum was the strongest category among those with reported Monday activity. The inflow reversed part of the pressure from the prior week, when Ethereum ETFs lost approximately $220.7 million between October 19 and October 23, including $110.6 million in withdrawals on Thursday. Friday's $4.4 million inflow marked an initial improvement. The latest subscriptions nonetheless remain modest relative to the preceding week's redemptions.
Solana funds moved in the opposite direction. The net withdrawal included a $7.2 million redemption from Bitwise's Solana ETF (BSOL), partly offset by approximately $800,000 entering Morgan Stanley's Solana product. The category total may incorporate additional movements and remains subject to reconciliation. XRP funds had not produced a complete October 26 reporting set, so an unchanged displayed balance should not be read as confirmed zero flows.
Bitcoin reporting is the principal gap. Bitcoin ETFs lost approximately $635.6 million on October 22 and $137.9 million on October 23, totaling $773.5 million in withdrawals. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) accounted for $110.3 million of Friday's outflows, while Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) lost $31.8 million. Despite these redemptions, Bitcoin ETFs finished October 19–23 with approximately $301.2 million in net inflows. Alpha Finance's dashboard showed no net Bitcoin movement for October 26, but major products including IBIT and FBTC had not reported, so the figure does not confirm zero flows.
The data arrives as Bitcoin briefly fell below $80,000 amid uncertainty ahead of the Federal Reserve's October 27–28 policy meeting, which could shape rate expectations and risk-sensitive asset flows. ETF net flows measure subscriptions and redemptions in regulated investment products rather than total cryptocurrency trading, and they cannot independently explain short-term price moves. The direction of the broader ETF market will remain unclear until outstanding Bitcoin and issuer reports are incorporated.
