Crypto ETFs Lose $1.22B in One Week Without a Green Session

Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs shed a combined $1.22 billion in a single week, according to unconfirmed reports, with every trading session closing in the red. BTC ETFs accounted for $686.7 million of those outflows, while ETH ETFs contributed $504.1 million, marking one of the heaviest sustained redemption weeks on record for both products.

Seven Consecutive Red Sessions Drain $1.22B From Crypto ETFs

The headline figure, reported by a single aggregator source, describes a week with no positive flow session across either Bitcoin or Ethereum spot ETF products. A “no green session” week means that net redemptions outpaced net subscriptions on every single trading day, a rare pattern that amplifies the aggregate drawdown beyond what isolated daily spikes typically produce.

The Block’s daily Bitcoin ETF flow dataset, which covers issuers including BlackRock, Fidelity, Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, and Ark Invest, tracks the USD net flows that underpin these figures. A comparable Ethereum ETF flow tracker covers BlackRock, Fidelity, Grayscale Ethereum Trust, and Bitwise. Neither dataset was directly readable at the time of writing, so the specific daily breakdown should be treated as unconfirmed until verified against those primary tables.

Bitcoin ETFs Lead With $686.7M, Ethereum ETFs Shed $504.1M

According to unconfirmed reports, Bitcoin ETFs lost $686.7 million over the week, representing roughly 56% of the total combined outflow. Ethereum ETFs contributed the remaining $504.1 million, or approximately 44%. Together, the two figures reconcile to the reported $1.22 billion aggregate.

One unconfirmed report also claims October 7 alone accounted for $644.3 million in a single session, which would represent more than half the weekly total in one day. That single-day figure, if accurate, would indicate a sharp acceleration mid-week rather than steady daily bleed. The same unverified source described it as the largest weekly outflow since June 22-26, though that comparison could not be independently confirmed.

At the time of data enrichment, Bitcoin was trading at $83,459, up 0.64% over 24 hours.

Ethereum was priced at $2,554.16, posting a 2.18% gain over the same 24-hour window, a mild recovery that followed the week’s heavy ETF selling pressure.

Derivatives Context: OI Drop and Funding Near 90-Day Low

According to the same unverified source, Bitcoin open interest fell 61.3% from $51.88 billion during the week, with funding rates near a 90-day low. CoinGlass defines open interest as futures contracts not yet closed; a sharp drop typically signals forced liquidations or deliberate de-leveraging rather than organic position unwinding. These figures remain unconfirmed and should be cross-referenced against live CoinGlass data before being cited as established fact.

Despite the outflow week, the Crypto Fear and Greed Index registered 69, classified as Greed. That divergence, where sentiment gauges remain elevated while institutional ETF flows turn sharply negative, is a data point worth watching as the market moves into the next session. The ongoing U.S. Senate deliberations on the Crypto CLARITY Act add a regulatory overlay that could shape ETF demand in the weeks ahead. Traders monitoring futures execution mechanics on venues like Kraken will be watching whether leverage continues to drain or stabilizes as spot prices attempt recovery. Any resumption of consistent ETF inflows, or a first green session, would represent the earliest signal that the redemption streak has broken.
