On Oct. 9, the 12 U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs experienced another day of setbacks, reporting $30.59 million in outflows. The bright spot was Blackrock’s IBIT, which managed to attract $13.88 million in positive inflows. However, Ark Invest’s and 21shares’ ARKB took a hit, shedding $44.47 million, effectively erasing IBIT’s gains. These outflows drop the cumulative net inflows, collected since Jan. 11, to $18.68 billion.

The bitcoin ETFs saw a total of $969.76 million traded on Wednesday, with the group now securing $56.68 billion in reserves, accounting for 4.74% of BTC’s market cap. Over on the ethereum side, the nine spot ETFs had a quiet day, neither gaining nor losing. Data from sosovalue.xyz indicates $128.29 million was traded, with the nine funds holding $6.62 billion, representing 2.33% of ETH’s market capitalization.

The performance of U.S. spot bitcoin and ethereum ETFs reflects the volatility and contrasting trends within the market. As some funds capitalize on positive inflows, others struggle with significant losses, highlighting the ongoing balancing act investors face during the current market uncertainty. While cumulative net figures shift, the funds’ long-term positions and market influence will continue to evolve with fluctuating market conditions.
