Ethereum ETF Outflows Hit Day Five as Bitcoin Funds Split

Ethereum ETF outflows reached a fifth straight session on Monday, October 5, 2026. Spot funds lost $50.8 million, according to Farside Investors. The streak began on September 29 and has drained $206.0 million so far. SoSoValue lists the same figure for the day, a $50.76 million outflow.

Who Sold Ethereum ETF Shares

Two funds did the selling on October 5. BlackRock's ETHA shed $31.9 million and Fidelity's FETH lost $18.9 million, while every other Ethereum fund recorded zero. ETHA's exit was its largest since the $42.9 million it lost on September 17.

Those two also carried most of the five-day outflow. FETH lost $93.0 million across the stretch and ETHA lost $60.9 million. Grayscale's ETHE added $27.9 million of exits on September 30 and October 1. The remaining $24.2 million came from Grayscale's mini ETH trust, VanEck's ETHV and Franklin's EZET.

Farside Investors' ETH table shows the October 5 row in green, with FETH and ETHA the only funds in the red.

Ethereum ETF Flows Before the Reversal

The Ethereum ETF outflows follow a seven-session inflow run from September 18 to September 28. Funds took in $850.6 million over those days, led by $270.0 million on September 21. The five outflow sessions have returned about 24% of that money. The first day was small, at $2.8 million, and the next four ran between $37.4 million and $59.6 million each.

Cumulative net inflows into US spot Ether funds still stand at $13.78 billion on Farside's count. Ether itself held steady through the exits. Its October 5 daily candle on Binance closed at $2,709.98, after trading between $2,679.63 and $2,738.00. That is 1.2% above its September 29 close of $2,677.98.

When ETF Flow Summaries Disagree

Not every summary of the day's flows matched. One widely shared October 6 post listed Ether funds as taking in $110.84 million. Farside and SoSoValue both show the opposite sign, and both name ETHA and FETH as the only funds that moved.

Its Bitcoin and Solana figures did line up with the trackers. So the mismatch sits with the Ether line alone. Anyone quoting a one-line flow summary can check it against an issuer-level table first, because a sign error changes the whole story.

Bitcoin ETF Flows Split Three Ways

Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net outflow of $89.8 million on October 5, per Farside's Bitcoin table. SoSoValue shows $89.90 million. Funds did not move together. BlackRock's IBIT took in $69.9 million, while Fidelity's FBTC lost $74.5 million and ARK 21Shares' ARKB lost $85.2 million. Together, FBTC and ARKB sold $159.7 million, and IBIT's inflow absorbed less than half of it.

That outflow ended a two-day inflow stretch of $102.7 million on October 1 and $189.9 million on October 2. September 30 had been worse, with $148.7 million leaving. Even so, Farside's running total for Bitcoin funds stands at $57.77 billion of net inflows since launch. Bitcoin's October 5 daily candle on Binance closed at $85,766.87, after opening at $86,530.00.

Our earlier report on the best weekly inflow since October covers the September run that preceded this pullback. Solana funds also lost $9.2 million on October 5, per Farside's Solana table. In late August, Ether funds had gone the other way, as a nine-day inflow streak showed. Farside posts each day's row after the US close.

Flow tables record what funds did on one day. A fifth day of Ethereum ETF outflows is not investment advice and says little about where Ether goes next. Anyone trading around these numbers carries their own risk.
