Bitcoin ETFs’ October comeback lasted a single session.

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs shed $635.6 million on Thursday, according to Decrypt’s ETF tracker, wiping out nearly 60% of the roughly $1.07 billion the funds took in over the previous three sessions. It was their biggest single-day outflow of the month, topping the $484.9 million exit on Oct. 7 that was, at the time, the worst since June.

The reversal pushed October back into negative territory. After climbing to roughly $460 million in net inflows for the month on Wednesday, the funds are now down about $176 million. Cumulative net inflows since launch slipped to $57.8 billion, with total net assets at $100.2 billion.

Ethereum ETFs followed suit, losing $110.6 million a day after snapping a five-day outflow streak. That brings their October losses to roughly $1.18 billion. Solana ETFs shed $8.9 million, bringing them to about $68 million in outflows this month, with just two days of inflows in October.
