U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs recorded about $542 million in net outflows during the five trading sessions from October 5–9, 2026. The week was their worst since January, and October 9 marked a ninth consecutive day of withdrawals. BlackRock’s ETHA accounted for most of the weekly total, while cumulative net inflows since the funds’ launch remained positive.

Daily withdrawals from October 5–9
The outflows peaked early in the week, then slowed over the final two sessions. One report listed the daily totals as follows:
11
| Date |
Net flow |
| October 5 |
−$50.8 million |
| October 6 |
−$201.9 million |
| October 7 |
−$160.9 million |
| October 8 |
−$72.5 million |
| October 9 |
−$56.1 million |
The five daily figures add up to $542.2 million in withdrawals. Reports put the weekly total at either $542.1 million or $542.2 million, a small discrepancy that the available reporting does not resolve. Both totals describe the week as the funds’ worst since January.

On October 9, the $56.1 million outflow was smaller than the $72.54 million recorded the previous day. The ninth-session streak began on September 29 and amounted to approximately $697.2 million in cumulative withdrawals through October 9.

ETHA drove most of the weekly outflow
BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) saw about $477.1 million in weekly net outflows—roughly 88% of the reported $542.2 million category total. Grayscale’s ETHE recorded $31.89 million in outflows, while Fidelity’s FETH had $13.38 million in outflows. Morgan Stanley’s MSSE was reported to have a $1.3 million net inflow for the week.

These are fund-flow figures: they describe net subscriptions and redemptions, not necessarily a discretionary trading decision by each asset manager.

One report put total assets across U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs at $15.71 billion. Other trackers show different asset totals, so that figure should be treated as a reported snapshot rather than a reconciled industry-wide estimate. The available evidence does not establish ETHA’s remaining net assets on a consistent basis.

Despite the nine-session run of outflows, cumulative net inflows since the funds’ launch stood at $13.26 billion as of October 9.

The outflow streak followed a strong inflow run
Investors had put approximately $850.8 million into the funds during the preceding seven-session inflow streak. The subsequent $697.2 million in outflows offset about 82% of that amount, but did not erase it entirely.

The week of October 5–9 was also reported as the second consecutive week of net outflows.
25 The available sources do not provide a sufficiently consistent exact total for the previous week to make a like-for-like weekly comparison.
Ethereum’s place in a wider crypto ETF retreat
Across tracked Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid and Zcash ETFs, combined net outflows reached $1.29 billion during October 5–9. Bitcoin and Ethereum funds accounted for most of that withdrawal total. Ethereum’s roughly $542 million made up about 42% of the combined outflow.
15
Solana ETFs lost $24.8 million for the week, their largest weekly outflow since launch, ending a record 14-week run of weekly inflows.

18 The available reporting does not establish Bitcoin’s Friday flow amount, so it cannot support a precise account of whether Bitcoin funds saw a Friday inflow.
What the flows say—and what they don’t
Ether was reported at about $2,491 on October 10, below $2,500 and down more than 7% over the preceding seven days. The timing places the price decline alongside the ETF withdrawals, but those figures alone do not establish that ETF outflows caused the decline.
19
The available evidence does not reliably establish the requested four-day price loss, exchange-transfer figures, futures open-interest change or competing analyst forecasts. Nor does it independently verify the proposed support near $2,370 or a 100-day average near $2,200; those levels should not be treated as confirmed price floors.
Whether ETHA’s outflows stopped the following week was not yet knowable from information available on October 11. A nine-session streak documents recent flows, but does not determine what the next week’s flows will be.
