US spot cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds recorded mixed activity on Monday, October 26, 2026, with preliminary data showing renewed demand for Ethereum products alongside withdrawals from Solana and Hyperliquid funds.According to Alpha Finance’s latest available reporting, Ethereum ETFs attracted approximately $16.1 million, while Solana products lost $8.2 million and Hyperliquid funds recorded $4.3 million in redemptions.Bitcoin ETF reporting remained incomplete, preventing a reliable calculation of the day’s aggregate cryptocurrency fund flows. A separate tracker, CryptoETF.today, showed a provisional $7.2 million outflow across its covered products, but had received only one of 58 expected fund reports.That figure should not be interpreted as the final industry-wide result. The incomplete reporting comes after Bitcoin briefly fell below $80,000 amid heightened uncertainty ahead of the Federal Reserve’s October 28 interest-rate decision.
Ethereum Attracts Fresh Capital as Altcoin Funds Diverge
Ethereum funds were the strongest category among those with reported Monday activity. Fidelity’s Ethereum Fund (FETH) accounted for the identified $16.1 million inflow, reversing part of the pressure experienced during the preceding trading week.Ethereum ETFs lost approximately $220.7 million between October 19 and October 23, including $110.6 million in withdrawals on Thursday. Friday’s $4.4 million inflow marked an initial improvement, followed by the stronger preliminary Monday figure.Nevertheless, the latest subscriptions remain modest relative to the preceding week’s redemptions. Solana funds moved in the opposite direction, with Alpha Finance reporting approximately $8.2 million in net withdrawals.Its fund-level data included a $7.2 million redemption from Bitwise’s Solana ETF (BSOL), partly offset by approximately $800,000 entering Morgan Stanley’s Solana product. The category total may incorporate additional reported movements and remains subject to reconciliation.Hyperliquid ETFs also experienced approximately $4.3 million in withdrawals, according to the same tracker. XRP funds had not produced a complete October 26 reporting set. Consequently, an unchanged displayed balance should not automatically be treated as confirmation of zero daily inflows or outflows.
Bitcoin Reporting Gap Prevents Reliable Market-Wide Total
Bitcoin ETFs entered the new trading week following two consecutive sessions of significant redemptions. The funds lost approximately $635.6 million on October 22 and another $137.9 million on October 23, representing combined withdrawals of $773.5 million.BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) accounted for $110.3 million of Friday’s outflows, while Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) lost $31.8 million. Despite those withdrawals, Bitcoin ETFs finished October 19–23 with approximately $301.2 million in net inflows, supported by strong subscriptions earlier in the week.Monday’s missing Bitcoin figures are therefore particularly important for assessing whether the late-week reversal continued. Alpha Finance’s dashboard displayed no net Bitcoin movement for October 26, but several major products, including IBIT, FBTC and other issuers, had not reported.CryptoETF.today likewise showed no Bitcoin fund submissions for the session at its latest snapshot. The two platforms also differed in their coverage and reporting completeness for alternative cryptocurrency products. These discrepancies highlight the distinction between confirmed zero flows and data that has not yet been published.ETF net flows measure subscriptions and redemptions in investment products rather than total cryptocurrency purchases or sales across exchanges. They provide an indicator of demand through regulated investment vehicles but cannot independently explain short-term market movements.Investors are also awaiting the Federal Reserve’s October 27–28 policy meeting, which could influence expectations for interest rates and risk-sensitive assets. For now, the October 26 figures suggest selective demand for Ethereum alongside withdrawals from certain alternative cryptocurrency funds.However, the direction of the broader ETF market cannot be established until outstanding Bitcoin and other issuer reports are incorporated.
