US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded a third consecutive week of net inflows, while Ether funds returned to negative territory and Zcash products reported their first weekly outflow on record. The contrasting flows offered a mixed picture of demand across crypto investment products, according to reporting by Cointelegraph.
Bitcoin funds maintain positive momentum
Bitcoin ETFs attracted $241.1 million in net inflows during the latest week, taking their cumulative net inflows to $57.8 billion, based on SoSoValue data. The result followed much larger inflows of $2.4 billion and $6.2 million in the two preceding weeks. Year-to-date net inflows for the funds stood at about $1.2 billion.
The latest weekly figure indicates that money continued to enter Bitcoin-linked exchange-traded products, although the inflow was smaller than the $2.4 billion recorded two weeks earlier. ETFs are investment vehicles that hold assets or track their prices and trade on exchanges, giving investors exposure through a market-listed product.
Bitcoin was trading at approximately $86,200 when the original report was published and had gained 3.7% over the previous seven days, according to CoinGecko.
Ether ETFs reverse direction
Ether ETFs experienced $138 million in net outflows over the same week. That marked a sharp reversal from the previous week, when the products brought in $690 million. Despite the latest withdrawals, their year-to-date net inflows remained around $1.5 billion, SoSoValue data showed.
Ether traded at about $2,727 at the time of publication and was up 3% over seven days. The different weekly results for Bitcoin and Ether funds show that asset-specific ETF flows did not move in the same direction during the period.
Other crypto ETFs also produced mixed results. Zcash funds recorded their first weekly outflow since their launch, losing around $94 million. By contrast, Solana ETFs attracted $2.4 million and XRP ETFs received $4.7 million, extending their respective inflow streaks.
Current crypto market picture
Moneyiar market data recorded at 09:38 on October 5, 2026, showed the following prices and movements:
- Bitcoin: $85,891.93, up 0.79% in 24 hours and 4.02% over seven days.
- Ethereum: $2,717.19, up 0.62% in 24 hours and 2.98% over seven days.
- Zcash: $1,326.76, up 0.41% in 24 hours but down 14.07% over seven days.
- FUNToken: $0.007977, down 0.71% in 24 hours and up 6.61% over seven days.
The figures differ slightly from the prices cited in the original report because they were captured at a different time. Meanwhile, crypto market sentiment weakened modestly: Alternative.me’s Crypto Fear & Greed Index fell to 70 from 74, although it remained in “Greed” territory. The index is designed to summarize prevailing market sentiment rather than measure ETF flows directly.
