Bitcoin News Today: Profit-Taking Halts Bitcoin ETF Inflows as Ether Funds Face Prolonged Outflows
Bitcoin ETF inflow streak ends as EtherETH-- funds deepen outflows, with mixed market reactions. U.S. spot BitcoinBTC-- ETFs recorded a $1.21 billion net inflow on Oct. 6, 2025, marking the largest single-day inflow of the year and extending a six-day streak totaling $4.35 billion [1]. This surge preceded Bitcoin's all-time high (ATH) of $126,000. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) dominated inflows, contributing $969.95 million, the fund's second-largest daily inflow after a $970.93 million record on April 28 [1]. However, the inflow trend reversed on Oct. 10, with Bitcoin ETFs posting a $4.5 million net outflow, halting a nine-day streak that had added $5 billion in cumulative inflows [3]. Despite the outflow, total assets under management (AUM) for Bitcoin ETFs remained at $158.96 billion, with cumulative inflows at $62.77 billion [3].
The outflow coincided with an 8% intraday price correction for Bitcoin, dropping from $122,000 to $105,000 before stabilizing above $111,700 [3]. Analysts attributed the pullback to profit-taking after a rapid rally rather than a broader market shift. BlackRock's IBITIBIT-- saw $74.21 million in inflows, while Bitwise's BITB recorded the largest single-day redemption at $37.45 million [3]. Grayscale's GBTC and Fidelity's FBTC also faced outflows of $19.21 million and $10.18 million, respectively [3].
Meanwhile, Ether ETFs faced a prolonged outflow streak, with $795.8 million in net outflows over five days as Ethereum's price fell 10.8% to $3,995 [6]. This marked the first such streak since early September and reflected waning investor appetite. Spot Ether ETFs ended an eight-day inflow streak on Oct. 9, with an $8.54 million outflow as ETHETH-- dipped to $4,357 [7]. The outflows coincided with broader market volatility, with Bitcoin ETFs also recording $897.6 million in outflows over the same period [8].
Historical patterns suggest ETF inflows often precede short-term Bitcoin peaks. For example, a $1 billion inflow on July 10, 2025, was followed by a BTCBTC-- ATH of $123,000 [4]. However, Ether's ETF-driven rally lagged Bitcoin's by six months, with ETH surging 215% from $1,519 in April to $4,739 in August amid $2.27 billion in weekly inflows . Unlike Bitcoin, Ether ETFs have yet to face sustained outflows, with inflows persisting for 14 consecutive weeks as of mid-August .
Market analysts highlighted divergent investor behavior. Bitcoin ETFs, with AUM of $158.6 billion, represented 6% of BTC's market cap, while Ether ETFs held $29.7 billion, or 5.1% of ETH's market cap . Institutional participation in Bitcoin ETFs grew rapidly, with BlackRock's IBIT becoming its most profitable ETF, generating $244.5 million in annual revenue [4]. For Ether, investment advisers dominated ETF holdings, injecting $1.3 billion in Q2 2025 .
Price reactions varied. Bitcoin's ATHs were closely tied to ETF inflows, with BTC peaking at $126,000 after the Oct. 6 inflow [1]. Conversely, Ether's price fell despite ETF inflows in summer 2025, with ETH trading near $4,500 amid uncertainty over SEC staking approvals . Analysts warned that prolonged outflows could signal market tops, as seen in Bitcoin's corrections following multi-week outflows in February–April 2025 .
The contrasting dynamics underscore shifting investor priorities. Bitcoin ETFs, despite recent outflows, retained long-term institutional confidence, with cumulative inflows at $62.77 billion [3]. Ether ETFs, meanwhile, faced pressure from regulatory uncertainties and profit-taking, though their AUM growth suggested resilience. As of Oct. 10, Bitcoin ETFs held $158.96 billion in assets, while Ether ETFs approached $30 billion [3].
