- US spot Ether ETFs posted a net outflow of $56.1 million on October 9, 2026, according to Farside Investors data, extending a losing streak to nine straight trading days
- The streak began September 29, with outflows recorded every trading day since, including $201.9 million on October 6 and $160.9 million on October 7
- No single trading day in the streak showed a net inflow, making it one of the more sustained redemption stretches the category has posted since US spot Ether ETFs launched
US spot Ether exchange-traded funds posted a ninth consecutive day of net outflows on October 9, 2026, with $56.1 million leaving the category, according to daily flow data compiled by Farside Investors. The sustained redemption run, which began on September 29, 2026, has not seen a single positive trading day since it started, making it one of the longer uninterrupted outflow stretches the category has recorded.
The streak’s daily figures show a consistent pattern of net selling rather than a single dramatic event driving the entire run. After an initial $2.8 million outflow on September 29 and $59.6 million on September 30, the pace of redemptions picked up through early October, with $55.4 million leaving on October 1, $37.4 million on October 2, $50.8 million on October 5, a sharp $201.9 million on October 6, $160.9 million on October 7, $72.5 million on October 8, and finally $56.1 million on October 9.
Spot Ether ETFs give investors regulated, brokerage-account exposure to Ether’s price without requiring them to directly hold or custody the token themselves, following the same general structure used by spot Bitcoin ETFs that launched roughly a year and a half earlier. Daily net flow data for the category is closely watched as an indicator of institutional and retail demand for regulated Ether exposure, with sustained multi-day streaks in either direction typically drawing more analyst attention than single-day moves, since they suggest a more durable shift in positioning rather than ordinary day-to-day noise.
The nine-day outflow run through October 9 contrasts with the Bitcoin ETF category’s own flow pattern over the same stretch, which saw a mix of inflows and outflows before also posting net outflows across most of early October, before Bitcoin funds managed a small rebound into positive territory on the same day, October 9, that Ether funds extended their losing streak. The divergence highlights how flow sentiment between the two largest crypto ETF categories can move independently of each other even during overlapping calendar windows.
Farside’s daily Ether ETF flow table aggregates net creation and redemption activity across all major US spot Ether ETF issuers into a single combined daily figure. Because October 9 was the final trading day before US markets closed for the Columbus Day holiday weekend, it also represented the most recent flow data available for the category heading into the extended break, leaving the question of whether the nine-day streak would extend further unresolved until markets reopened.
