U.S. exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that invest directly in Bitcoin and Ethereum recorded a combined net outflow of $1.647 billion during the trading week of November 2–6, 2026. The bulk of the outflows came from Bitcoin ETFs, according to data from the analytics firm Farside Investors.
Over five trading sessions, net outflows from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs totaled $1.282 billion, while Ethereum-based funds lost $365.2 million.
Thus, Bitcoin accounted for approximately 77.8% of the total outflow from the two largest segments of cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds.
The largest outflows were recorded in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), from which investors withdrew $1.2095 billion over the week. This represents approximately 94% of the total net capital outflow from Bitcoin ETFs.
At the same time, the performance of individual funds varied significantly. In particular, the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), on the contrary, attracted $93.1 million over the week.
The largest single-day outflow from Bitcoin ETFs was recorded on November 5, when it reached $430.2 million. The following day, another $411.9 million was withdrawn from the funds.
The only trading session with a positive result was Wednesday, November 4, when the net inflow totaled $74.6 million.
A similar trend was observed in Ethereum-based funds. According to Farside Investors, net outflows from Ethereum ETFs totaled $139.7 million on November 2, $85.3 million on November 3, $99.9 million on November 5, and $93.3 million on November 6.
The largest outflows in this segment were seen in BlackRock products, particularly the iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA).
The decline in investments in cryptocurrency ETFs is occurring against a backdrop of high volatility in digital assets and a decrease in investors’ willingness to take on risk following sell-offs in the U.S. stock market.
However, net capital outflows should not be equated with a decrease in the total value of the funds’ assets. The latter also fluctuates due to changes in the market price of cryptocurrencies.
At the same time, market participants view ETF trends as one of the indicators of institutional demand for digital assets, since such instruments allow investors to invest in cryptocurrencies through traditional exchange infrastructure.
Future trends in inflows and outflows will depend on conditions in financial markets, U.S. macroeconomic data, and shifts in investor sentiment toward risky assets.
