US spot Ether ETFs lost $320M in a week, outpacing Bitcoin ETF outflows as investors trim riskier assets.
US spot Ether ETFs experienced net outflows of about $320 million in the week ending October 16, 2026, surpassing the $228 million outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs during the same period. The largest withdrawals came from BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA), which frequently accounts for the majority of Ether ETF redemptions. While Bitcoin ETF outflows slowed by 66% and even saw a small inflow on one day, Ether ETFs have faced consistent outflows since late September, with October losses nearing $900 million. Despite recent outflows, Ether ETFs remain well-funded with assets under management between $14.5 billion and $15.3 billion, but the trend suggests investors are reducing exposure to the more volatile Ether amid underperformance and rising Treasury yields.
