Bitcoin ETF inflows notched a third straight week of gains, while Ether funds swung the other way and shed $138 million, weekly flow data reported by Cointelegraph shows. The split is a clean read on where speculative patience is sitting right now: still willing to pay the largest crypto fund’s toll, but less enthusiastic about paying it twice.
Third straight week of Bitcoin ETF inflows
The streak extends a recovery that began with October’s first session, when Bitcoin ETFs kicked off “Uptober” with a $103 million inflow even as Ether products bled for a third straight day. Three weeks of net additions suggest allocators treated the pullback as an entry rather than an exit – the classic behavior of a product that has become the default on-ramp for traditional money.
Ether funds swing to $138M in outflows
Ether ETFs went from steady drain to a sharper weekly outflow of $138 million. The divergence matters less as an verdict on Ethereum and more as a signal of narrative economics: with tokenization headlines and Bitcoin’s power-law forecasts dominating coverage, the second-largest asset keeps losing the marketing war even when the tech news is fine.
Zcash funds record first weekly outflow
The same data showed Zcash funds posting their first weekly outflow – a small number, but a notable one for a privacy coin that spent much of 2026 in the spotlight after its violent rally past $800. Fresh flows arriving everywhere except the privacy trade tells you which stories institutions are actually buying this quarter.
