The withdrawals erased the previous day’s inflows and left October flows about $176 million in the red, while Ethereum and Solana funds also recorded outflows. ## Key takeaways - U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $635.6 million in net outflows on Thursday, October 22. - Thursday’s withdrawals were the largest single-day Bitcoin ETF outflow reported for October. - BlackRock’s IBIT led the withdrawals with $254.1 million in outflows. - Bitcoin ETF outflows erased the previous day’s inflows and left October flows about $176 million negative. - Ethereum and Solana funds also recorded outflows on Thursday. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs lost $635.6 million on Thursday, October 22, their biggest single-day outflow so far this month. The withdrawals reversed the prior session’s inflows and pushed the funds’ October total to a net loss of about $176 million. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led Thursday’s withdrawals, with $254.1 million leaving the fund. Four other Bitcoin ETFs also recorded outflows, according to The Block. Ethereum and Solana funds saw withdrawals as well, though the reports provided here do not give their totals. ## What drove the Bitcoin ETF withdrawals? The figures mark a sharp reversal in daily fund flows: Wednesday’s reported $528 million in Bitcoin ETF inflows gave way to $635.6 million in outflows the next day. A daily flow total measures money entering or leaving the funds; it does not, by itself, explain why investors traded or establish what Bitcoin’s price will do next. That quick swing is a useful contrast with the prior day’s strong demand. For someone tracking ETF activity, one day’s inflow or outflow is a snapshot, not proof of a lasting trend. The more meaningful question is whether withdrawals continue across subsequent trading sessions. ## What should Bitcoin ETF investors watch next? The immediate markers are the next reported daily flows and whether October’s roughly $176 million net loss deepens or narrows. The withdrawals also came as Ethereum and Solana funds bled, suggesting Thursday’s weakness was not limited to Bitcoin products; the available figures do not establish a shared cause. ETF flows describe activity in the funds, not a direct instruction for individual holders to buy or sell.
