Bitcoin ETF Inflows Hit $241M as Ether Funds Lose $138M
Updated tracker data put Bitcoin spot ETF inflows at about $241 million and Ether fund outflows at $138 million for Sept. 28–Oct. 2.
Bitcoin ETF inflows reached about $241.1 million during the week of September 28 through October 2, while U.S. spot Ether products recorded roughly $138.1 million in net outflows. Updated flow tables show a clear split between the two largest crypto assets: Bitcoin funds were net positive, and Ether funds were net negative.
The totals also need a data-update note. An earlier snapshot of Farside’s table showed about $82.9 million in Bitcoin inflows and $117.9 million in Ether outflows. Its current table now includes October 2 entries that were blank in that snapshot, lifting the Bitcoin weekly total and adding to the Ether outflow. The change is material for the headline, but it does not alter the fact that the products finished the week moving in opposite directions.
SoSoValue’s U.S. crypto spot ETF dashboard lists October 2 daily flows of about $189.84 million for Bitcoin funds and negative $37.36 million for Ether funds. Farside’s updated tables show approximately $189.9 million and negative $37.4 million for that day. The close match helps explain why current weekly totals now line up more closely than the first comparison suggested.
Key Takeaways
- Bitcoin ETF inflows reached about $241.1 million across U.S. spot funds from September 28 to October 2, based on Farside’s updated daily table.
- Spot Ether ETFs posted about $138.1 million in net outflows over the same five-session window.
- Updated October 2 entries account for most of the earlier gap: Farside now lists a $158.2 million IBIT inflow and a $20.1 million ETHA outflow that were absent from the earlier snapshot.
- ETF flow totals track fund-level net creations and redemptions; they do not guarantee the next move in Bitcoin or Ether prices.
Bitcoin ETF inflows and Ether outflows: updated weekly totals
The updated Bitcoin ETF inflows in Farside’s latest table total approximately $241.1 million across the five trading sessions from September 28 to October 2. Its Ethereum table totals about $138.1 million in net outflows for the same dates. SoSoValue’s widely circulated weekly summary used rounded figures of roughly $241 million in Bitcoin inflows and $138 million in Ether outflows.
The comparison matters because a daily flow table can be revised as individual issuers report or a tracker fills previously missing entries. Readers who saw the first snapshot could reasonably have come away with a smaller Bitcoin inflow and a less severe Ether outflow. The current figures provide a more complete view of the week, while the date range and the direction of the divergence remain the same.
The table below uses Farside’s currently displayed daily totals, in U.S. dollars, to show how Bitcoin ETF inflows and Ether outflows accumulated across the week. Figures are rounded to one decimal place, so adding the displayed daily numbers may differ slightly from an unrounded provider total.
| Date or period | Bitcoin spot ETFs | Ether spot ETFs | What the table shows |
|---|---|---|---|
| September 28 | +$31.0M | +$17.1M | Both groups began the window with net inflows. |
| September 29 | +$66.2M | −$2.8M | Bitcoin stayed positive as Ether turned slightly negative. |
| September 30 | −$148.7M | −$59.6M | Both groups recorded outflows. |
| October 1 | +$102.7M | −$55.4M | Bitcoin recovered while Ether outflows continued. |
| October 2 | +$189.9M | −$37.4M | Updated fund entries make the final day the largest Bitcoin inflow in this window. |
| September 28–October 2 | About +$241.1M | About −$138.1M | Weekly totals from Farside’s updated tables. |
What changed in the October 2 data
The earlier comparison showed Farside at roughly $82.9 million net inflow for Bitcoin and about $117.9 million in Ether outflows. Its current October 2 Bitcoin row now includes $158.2 million for BlackRock’s IBIT, $29.3 million for Fidelity’s FBTC, and $2.4 million for Morgan Stanley’s MSBT. Those reported entries bring the day’s Bitcoin total to about $189.9 million. Added to the preceding four sessions, they raise the five-day total to roughly $241.1 million.
The Ether table also includes a larger October 2 withdrawal than the earlier snapshot captured. It lists a $20.1 million outflow for BlackRock’s ETHA and $17.3 million for Fidelity’s FETH, producing a daily total near $37.4 million in outflows. That added ETHA entry takes the week from the earlier roughly $117.9 million outflow to about $138.1 million.
This arithmetic points to a timing and completeness issue in the earlier snapshot, rather than a lasting disagreement about the direction of the week. The current SoSoValue daily values for October 2 are also close to Farside’s displayed amounts. Data providers can still differ at other times or round totals differently, so the observation date and the individual daily rows matter when comparing reports.
Why a tracker can show a different headline
ETF issuers do not all publish activity at the same moment. A tracker may leave a fund’s row blank while it waits for data, then add the figure later. If a large product is missing, the total can look substantially lower even when the rest of the table is accurate. The weekly number is especially sensitive when one late daily entry is large relative to the other funds.
That is why a flow headline should be read with its date range and update time, not as a timeless number. In this case, the October 2 entries explain nearly the full difference between the earlier and current Farside weekly totals. The most responsible summary is to use the updated figures and make clear that the earlier estimate was incomplete.
Bitcoin and Ether flows diverged
Bitcoin ETF inflows across the week did not come from uninterrupted buying. The table shows a $148.7 million outflow on September 30, followed by inflows on October 1 and October 2. The last session’s roughly $189.9 million net inflow offset the midweek loss and pushed the full week back into positive territory.
The October 2 total was concentrated in a few products. IBIT contributed about $158.2 million, while FBTC added $29.3 million and MSBT added $2.4 million. Those three figures account for the displayed daily total after rounding. Other Bitcoin products were flat in Farside’s October 2 row. This concentration is useful context: a positive aggregate does not mean each fund attracted money.
Ether products had a different pattern. They opened the window with a $17.1 million inflow on September 28, then recorded outflows in each of the next four sessions. Farside’s table shows withdrawals of about $2.8 million, $59.6 million, $55.4 million, and $37.4 million. The sequence left the category down roughly $138.1 million for the week.
The distinction is about spot ETF flows, not a complete measure of all Bitcoin or Ether exposure. Investors can hold tokens directly, use futures or other products, or trade shares in the secondary market. A weekly ETF balance is a useful measure of activity in those funds, but it cannot establish why every investor bought or sold.
How to read ETF flow data
Net inflows and outflows summarize the balance of capital moving into or out of a group of funds over a chosen period. They can help readers compare demand for listed exposure to Bitcoin and Ether, particularly when the same provider applies a consistent method across products. The figures are not a direct survey of investor intentions, and a single week is too short to prove a lasting trend.
Flow totals also should not be confused with trading volume, assets under management, or token purchases by companies and governments. A fund can trade heavily while ending the day with little net creation or redemption. Conversely, a large creation or redemption can shift the net-flow figure even if the broader market’s spot volume remains high.
Provider tables can be revised, and their exact totals may vary because of reporting windows, rounding, or when issuer-level data becomes available. Here, the updated October 2 entries explain why an earlier table was lower for Bitcoin and less negative for Ether. Anyone comparing articles should check whether both figures use the same dates and the same update vintage.
What investors can watch next
The next useful checkpoint is whether Bitcoin ETF inflows and Ether ETF outflows persist across another complete week. A single positive Bitcoin week and negative Ether week may reflect short-term positioning, fund-specific activity, or a temporary change in allocations. A repeated pattern would be stronger evidence that demand for listed Bitcoin exposure is holding up better than demand for Ether products, but it still would not predict future prices on its own.
Readers can also watch for late issuer entries and revisions. If an initial daily total is missing a major fund, an early weekly calculation can move once the row is filled. Looking at the product-level contributions can reveal whether an aggregate is broad-based or depends on a small number of funds.
For a consistent comparison, use the same provider, the same time zone, and the same set of trading dates. The SoSoValue U.S. crypto spot ETF dashboard provides an overview of listed spot-fund activity across major assets. Farside’s current tables offer a separate fund-by-fund view. The point is not to treat one number as a price signal, but to distinguish a complete reported total from a provisional one.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much did Bitcoin ETF inflows reach from September 28 to October 2?
Farside’s updated daily table shows Bitcoin ETF inflows of about $241.1 million across the five sessions. SoSoValue’s widely circulated weekly figure was rounded to about $241 million.
How much did Ether spot ETFs lose during the same week?
Farside’s current table shows roughly $138.1 million in net outflows from September 28 through October 2, commonly rounded to $138 million.
Why did an earlier Farside total show only $82.9 million in Bitcoin inflows?
The earlier snapshot did not include the later October 2 entries for some funds. Farside’s current row includes $158.2 million for IBIT, which raises the Bitcoin weekly total to about $241.1 million.
Which Bitcoin funds accounted for the October 2 inflow?
Farside lists approximately $158.2 million for IBIT, $29.3 million for FBTC, and $2.4 million for MSBT on October 2. Other listed Bitcoin products were flat in that row.
Do ETF inflows mean Bitcoin will rise or Ether will fall?
No. ETF flows describe activity in specific funds during a defined period. They do not guarantee future price movements or capture every way investors gain or reduce crypto exposure.
Conclusion
Updated tables put Bitcoin ETF inflows at roughly $241.1 million and Ether ETF outflows at $138.1 million for September 28–October 2. The revised daily entries explain why an earlier Farside snapshot showed a smaller Bitcoin gain and a less severe Ether loss. In particular, the updated October 2 rows add a large IBIT inflow and an ETHA outflow.
The clearest takeaway is about fund flows, not price direction: listed Bitcoin products ended the week positive while Ether products ended it negative. Because flow trackers can update as issuers report, readers should compare like-for-like dates and check whether a daily row is complete before drawing a broader conclusion.
