US spot Bitcoin market price and chart exchange-traded funds recorded $643.2 million in combined net outflows on Friday, October 30, 2026, reversing a run of positive daily flows earlier in the week, according to fund-level figures compiled by Farside Investors.

The withdrawals were broad-based among several major funds. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) recorded $233.7 million in net outflows, while Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) lost $201.0 million. ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) posted $129.5 million in outflows, Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) saw $53.3 million leave, and Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) registered $25.7 million in redemptions, according to the same dataset.

Bitcoin ETF flows reverse ahead of the weekend

The October 30 result followed a much smaller $17.2 million net inflow on October 29. Earlier in the week, the products attracted a combined $110.3 million on October 26, $176 million on October 27 and $137.3 million on October 28. The contrast highlights how quickly US spot Bitcoin ETF investment flows can change.

The October 30 negative total is the largest daily outflow recorded in Farside’s dataset for the final five trading sessions of the month. These numbers measure net creations and redemptions for the monitored US-listed products; they do not, by themselves, establish why individual investors or institutions bought or sold.

Why the latest outflows matter

Spot Bitcoin ETF flows are one indicator of demand for regulated Bitcoin investment products. Substantial withdrawals can coincide with changing risk appetite, portfolio rebalancing or fund-specific trading decisions. They should not be treated as a standalone prediction for Bitcoin’s next price movement.

Investors will be watching whether outflows persist when US trading resumes after the weekend. The next available fund-flow data could help clarify whether Friday’s decline was an isolated session or part of a broader change in institutional positioning.

BlockBriefing previously reported on Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF withdrawals on October 23. This article covers a separate, newly reported trading session.
