US spot Ether ETFs have recorded $1.08 billion in net outflows so far in October, according to SoSoValue data. It is their largest monthly outflow of 2026, with about eight trading days still left in the month.

The withdrawals have erased roughly $832 million of inflows from September and cut year-to-date net inflows to about $485 million. Outflows ran for eight straight days from September 29, and the week ending October 17 was the third losing week in a row.

Total net assets in the funds stood at about $14.98 billion, or 5.01% of Ethereum's market value, as of October 20. BlackRock's ETHA holds $8.05 billion. ETH fell from about $2,700 to $2,438 during October and is down nearly 18% in 2026.
