US crypto ETFs see $610.7M outflow in a week, mostly from BlackRock's Ethereum fund.

In the week of October 12-16, 2026, US crypto ETFs experienced a net outflow of $610.7 million, with $320.1 million coming from Ethereum funds. Notably, $299 million of the Ethereum outflow was from BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust, indicating a single large position moved rather than a broad market retreat. Bitcoin ETFs saw $228.4 million in outflows, also led by BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust. These outflows are linked to rising US inflation and interest rate expectations, which make interest-bearing investments more attractive compared to crypto assets. German investors cannot access these US spot ETFs directly but are affected by the market movements. The article advises investors to consider product structures and tax implications before investing and highlights that fund flows signal institutional positioning but are not reliable short-term price indicators.
