U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a fourth consecutive session of net inflows on Thursday, Oct. 29, extending a four-day run to about $440.8 million. But the latest addition was modest: the reported $17.2 million was sharply lower than the $137.3 million recorded on Oct. 28.

Four days of inflows, with a sharp slowdown on Thursday
Daily inflows were reported at $110.3 million on Oct. 26, $176 million on Oct. 27 and $137.3 million on Oct. 28, before easing to $17.2 million on Oct. 29. Across the four sessions, the net total reached roughly $440.8 million.

Thursday’s positive total reflected gains at four funds, partly offset by withdrawals from two others:
| Fund |
Oct. 29 net flow |
| BlackRock IBIT |
+$12.8 million |
| Fidelity FBTC |
+$10.5 million |
| Bitwise BITB |
+$8.8 million |
| Morgan Stanley MSBT |
+$4.2 million |
| BTCW |
−$3.8 million |
| Grayscale BTC (Mini Trust) |
−$15.3 million |
| ARKB, BTCO, EZBC, BRRR, HODL and GBTC |

The fund-level figures are reported in the daily tracker; rounded amounts sum to approximately $17.2 million.

Why the daily totals differ
The supplied sources do not independently confirm the exact $17.07 million SoSoValue figure cited in the question. Farside-based reporting puts the Oct. 29 net inflow at $17.2 million, while other trackers show about $17.1 million.

8 The difference between $17.07 million and $17.2 million is $130,000, but the available data do not establish why the reported totals vary.
BlackRock led the four-session recovery
BlackRock’s IBIT accounted for $410.6 million of the roughly $440.8 million four-day total, according to one report.
33 The fund’s weight in the rebound fits a wider pattern of large daily contributions: on Oct. 19, IBIT drew $665.2 million, helping leave U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs with a $526.6 million net inflow despite withdrawals at other funds.

That earlier example also illustrates why an overall ETF net-flow figure can conceal differences between funds: a large inflow at one issuer may outweigh outflows elsewhere.
October’s monthly balance and the Ethereum contrast
One October tracker showed a net inflow of $128.3 million through Oct. 29.
8 Separately, reporting confirms that U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs lost $635.6 million on Oct. 22.
1 The sources available here do not establish the claimed combined $773.5 million outflow for Oct. 22–23 or whether Oct. 22 was the largest daily withdrawal since June 26, so those details should not be treated as verified.
Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF flows moved in opposite directions on Oct. 29: spot Bitcoin funds gained $17.2 million, while spot Ethereum ETFs recorded $105.5 million in outflows.
2 The supplied reporting confirms the one-day Ethereum outflow, but does not establish that it was the fourth consecutive session of withdrawals.
What the streak does—and does not—show
Four positive sessions mark a recovery in net flows, but the steep drop in daily additions on Oct. 29 shows that the pace had slowed by the end of the run. ETF net flows describe money entering or leaving funds; they are not, by themselves, proof that Bitcoin’s price will rise or that demand is broad across issuers.

The clearest supported takeaway is therefore mixed: the four-day total was substantial, and IBIT supplied much of it, but Thursday’s smaller inflow and the tracker-to-tracker differences call for care when interpreting the daily figure.
