BlackRock ETHA Sheds $201.9M In A Day, Its Largest Since January

BlackRock ETHA lost $201.9 million on October 6, 2026, and the other ten Ether funds on Farside Investors' table printed zero. That makes it the biggest daily exit for BlackRock ETHA since January 21, when it shed $250.3 million. For the whole group of US spot Ether ETFs, it was the largest outflow since September 16.

BlackRock ETHA Took The Whole Hit

BlackRock's iShares page lists ETHA net assets of $9.83 billion as of October 6. The exit therefore equals roughly 2% of the fund in one session. The page also shows 161,573,284 shares outstanding. Against the $13.04 billion ETHA has gathered since launch on Farside's tally, it is a dent.

Cointelegraph's October 7 flow summary lists Ether funds at minus $201.89 million, which rounds to the same $201.9 million Farside shows.

BlackRock ETHA Drives A Six-Session Ether ETF Run

Ether funds have now lost money six sessions in a row, beginning September 29. The run totals $407.9 million. From September 18 to 28, the same funds took in $850.6 million, so the six days have handed back about 48% of it.

ETHA supplied $262.8 million of the six-day total, and Fidelity's FETH added $93.0 million. Our fifth-day report put the streak at $206.0 million through October 5. Tuesday's single session nearly doubled it.

The shape changed from the first five days. Those exits were spread across FETH, ETHA, Grayscale's ETHE and a few smaller funds, and no day topped $59.6 million. Tuesday was one fund and one large redemption. Farside does not say who sold, so the table cannot separate a single large holder from many small ones.

Ether itself barely flinched on the day. Binance's October 6 daily candle opened at $2,709.99 and closed at $2,697.49, a 0.5% dip. By 05:30 UTC on October 7, ETH/USDT had slipped to about $2,618.

Bitcoin ETF Funds Add $118.8M While Solana Slips

Spot bitcoin funds took in $118.8 million on October 6, per Farside's bitcoin table. IBIT added $122.0 million and MSBT added $7.8 million, while Grayscale's GBTC gave back $11.0 million. The inflow reversed Monday's $89.8 million outflow. Solana funds lost $3.7 million.

Prices turned lower after the numbers were out. As of 05:30 UTC on October 7, Binance showed bitcoin down to $83,577 and Ether to $2,591.71 for the day. Both had closed October 6 well above those levels, at $85,549.93 and $2,697.49. Farside posts each day's row after the US close, so none of that selling shows up in these tables yet. BlackRock ETHA's next print will be the test of whether the exit was a one-off.

Zcash ETF Totals Do Not Match The Viral Number

BSCNews posted at 22:13 UTC on October 6 that spot Zcash ETFs had lost nearly $59 million in October. Farside lists one Zcash fund, Grayscale's ZCSH, which launched on NYSE Arca in August. Its table shows $42.9 million of October outflows over three sessions. Those were $12.4 million on October 1, $26.9 million on October 2 and $3.6 million on October 5.

Start the count at September 30 and a $30.2 million exit joins the run, for $73.1 million over four sessions. Neither total is $59 million. October 6 was flat at zero, and the last inflow was $32.8 million on September 22. Net inflows since launch still stand at $225.0 million.
