Bitcoin ETFs suffer biggest exodus since June as Ethereum withdrawals hit nine-month high

US spot Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds saw their steepest withdrawals in months as the cryptocurrency market continued to decline.

Data from SoSoValue shows that the 12 listed US Bitcoin ETFs lost $484.9 million on Oct. 7, their largest single-day outflow since June 25. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led the withdrawals with $207.7 million, followed by Fidelity's FBTC at $105.1 million and ARK 21Shares' ARKB at $101.7 million.

Meanwhile, Ethereum ETFs recorded $160.9 million in withdrawals, bringing their five-session losses to $506.3 million, the largest since January.

BlackRock's ETHA accounted for $116.1 million of Wednesday's redemptions, while Grayscale's ETHE lost $25.8 million. The funds have now experienced seven consecutive trading sessions of outflows, totaling approximately $569 million.

Together, the two ETF categories lost about $646 million on Wednesday as Bitcoin fell to its lowest daily close in the last 20 days, below $83,000, while Ethereum retreated toward $2,500 during the reporting period.

Notably, the price action coincided with rising US Treasury yields, a stronger dollar, and elevated oil prices, adding to pressure on risk assets.
