Bitcoin ETF flips to $1.56 billion in annual net outflows

U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs have flipped to a cumulative net outflow of $1.56 billion for 2026, erasing the roughly $1.01 billion in year-to-date net inflows they held through Oct. 29, according to CoinDesk's analysis of SoSoValue data. The reversal followed a single-day net redemption of $643.3 million on Oct. 30, which cut the annual inflow to about $368 million before further outflows pushed the total negative. Bitcoin's price also fell below $70,000 on the 13th. The swing matters because it shows sustained redemptions now outweigh new money into the largest regulated bitcoin access vehicles, a shift that can amplify spot price pressure.
