U.S. crypto ETFs opened the week with broad outflows on Monday, October 5, as Bitcoin, Ether and Solana products collectively lost approximately $117.9 million despite cryptocurrency prices remaining near recent highs.Bitcoin ETFs accounted for most of the decline, recording $89.8 million of net outflows. Ether products lost $18.9 million, while Solana ETFs posted $9.2 million of withdrawals.The session represented a sharp reversal from Friday, October 2, when Bitcoin funds attracted a finalized $189.9 million, Ether lost $37.4 million and Solana added $1.3 million. BlackRock remained the strongest Bitcoin issuer on Monday, but its inflows were insufficient to counter withdrawals from Fidelity and ARK 21Shares.

Fidelity and ARK Drive Bitcoin Reversal

BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) attracted $69.9 million on October 5, making it the only Bitcoin ETF tracked by Farside to record positive flows during the session. Fidelity's FBTC lost $74.5 million, while ARK 21Shares' ARKB suffered an even larger $85.2 million withdrawal.Bitwise's BITB, Invesco's BTCO, Franklin's EZBC, Valkyrie's BRRR, VanEck's HODL, WisdomTree's BTCW, Morgan Stanley's MSBT and both Grayscale products recorded zero net flows.The resulting $89.8 million withdrawal broke Bitcoin ETFs' two-session rebound. The funds had attracted $102.7 million on October 1 and $189.9 million on October 2 after losing $148.7 million on September 30.Monday's result therefore leaves Bitcoin funds with approximately $202.8 million of net inflows across the first three October sessions, despite the latest reversal.The outflow also occurred while Bitcoin remained around the mid-$80,000 range and continued challenging resistance near $87,000, showing that ETF demand did not strengthen alongside the latest price recovery.

Ether Extends Losing Streak as Solana Turns Negative

Ether ETFs recorded their fifth consecutive negative session, losing $18.9 million on October 5. The entire verified withdrawal came from Fidelity's FETH. Other tracked Ether products recorded no net movement.Farside's live webpage currently displays an erroneous $19.9 billion withdrawal for BlackRock's ETHA, which also corrupts its cumulative totals. Contemporary reporting based on Farside's underlying feed instead records ETHA at zero and confirms the correct October 5 category total at −$18.9 million.Ether's latest withdrawal follows losses of $2.8 million on September 29, $59.6 million on September 30, $55.4 million on October 1 and $37.4 million on October 2. That takes cumulative outflows across the five-session losing streak to approximately $174.1 million.Solana also weakened. Farside's finalized table shows $9.2 million of net withdrawals, consisting of a $7.1 million outflow from Bitwise's BSOL and $2.1 million from FSOL. VanEck's VSOL and TSOL, Franklin's SOEZ, Morgan Stanley's MSOL and Grayscale's GSOL were unchanged.That reversed Friday's modest $1.3 million Solana inflow and continued the slowdown from the much stronger institutional demand seen in late September. October 5 therefore produced an unusually consistent signal across the three major spot-crypto ETF categories: all finished in negative territory.Bitcoin still retains a positive October balance because of its strong October 1-2 inflows. Ether, by contrast, remains locked in a five-session redemption streak, while Solana has shifted from strong late-September demand toward small but increasingly frequent withdrawals.
