Bitcoin ETFs Have Lost $1.1 Billion in 2026 After $25 Billion Inflows Last Year

TLDR

• BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust lost $213 million on Monday, its seventh straight day of outflows.
• The fund has shed $1.66 billion since Oct. 30.
• BlackRock’s Ethereum fund lost another $119 million.
• The October CPI report is due Tuesday, and markets see an 85% chance of a Fed rate hike.
• Bitcoin trades near $74,594 while stocks rise.

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust recorded $213.2 million in outflows on Monday. It was the fund’s seventh straight session of withdrawals. The fund is the largest US spot Bitcoin ETF by assets.

Since Oct. 30, the fund has lost $1.66 billion, according to Farside Investors data. Monday’s outflow was smaller than Friday’s $412 million across the broader market.

BlackRock’s Ethereum fund also lost money. The iShares Ethereum Trust saw $119.3 million leave on Monday. Together, the two funds shed about $332.5 million in one session.

Spot Bitcoin and Ether Funds Both See Withdrawals

All US spot Bitcoin ETFs together lost $201 million on Monday. Morgan Stanley’s Bitcoin Trust took in $22.1 million, which offset part of the losses. Without that inflow, the total outflow would have been larger.

Bitcoin funds have lost about $1.5 billion over the past six trading sessions. November’s outflows reached $1.48 billion through Nov. 9, according to Coinglass. For the year, net withdrawals stand at $1.1 billion.

That compares with about $25 billion in net inflows by early November in both 2024 and 2025. The weakness comes even though Coinbase’s national trust bank charter took effect on Friday. The charter lets the company hold digital assets for clients under federal oversight.

Total Bitcoin Spot ETF Net Inflow (BTC)

Ether funds saw heavier selling. US spot Ether ETFs lost about $184.6 million on Monday. That was their largest daily outflow since Oct. 6.

Bitcoin traded near $74,594 at the time of reporting. That is down 2.8% over seven days but slightly higher over the past 24 hours, according to CoinGecko.

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index rose to 32 on Monday from 29 the day before. A week ago, it stood at 26. The reading still sits in the “Fear” range, according to Alternative.me.

Kevin Boeve, a trader at Palladium Network, pointed to the gap between stocks and crypto. He told Cointelegraph that stocks are rising while crypto keeps falling. He said the Coinbase news barely moved prices.

October CPI Report Due Tuesday

Investors are now waiting for the October Consumer Price Index report. It is scheduled for release later on Tuesday. The data could shape expectations for the Federal Reserve’s December meeting.

Economists expect headline inflation to rise 0.3% from September. That would be slower than the 0.6% increase the month before. Core CPI, which leaves out food and energy, is expected to rise 0.2%, down from 0.3%.

The report will not include a year-over-year comparison. The government shutdown last year stopped the Bureau of Labor Statistics from collecting October 2025 data.

Markets have priced in about an 85% chance of another quarter-point rate increase. Bitcoin does not pay a yield, so higher rates can make it less appealing to some investors. A hotter reading could lead to more defensive moves in crypto, while a softer one could ease rate worries.

Boeve said the gap between stocks and crypto was a warning sign. He predicted a major stock market correction that could turn into a wider sell-off.
