• US spot Ether ETFs recorded a combined net outflow of $129.5 million on October 14, 2026, according to Farside Investors data
• BlackRock’s ETHA led the redemptions with $109.8 million leaving the fund, followed by Grayscale’s mini ETH trust at $18.8 million
• The outflow reversed a $24.8 million net inflow the category had posted just one trading day earlier, on October 13

US spot Ether exchange-traded funds swung back into net outflow territory on October 14, 2026, shedding $129.5 million in a single trading day, according to daily flow data tracked by Farside Investors. The move came immediately after the category had posted a modest $24.8 million net inflow on October 13, meaning sentiment reversed sharply within a single trading session rather than building gradually over several days.

BlackRock’s ETHA, the largest spot Ether ETF by assets under management, accounted for the bulk of the day’s redemptions at $109.8 million, with Grayscale’s mini ETH trust contributing a further $18.8 million in outflows. Together those two funds drove the overwhelming majority of the category’s total net outflow for the day, leaving smaller issuers to account for a comparatively minor share of the overall movement.

Spot Ether ETFs give investors regulated exposure to Ether’s price through ordinary brokerage accounts, following the same basic structure used by spot Bitcoin ETFs that launched in the United States roughly a year and a half earlier. Daily net flow data for the category is closely tracked by traders and analysts as a real-time barometer of institutional demand for regulated Ether exposure, with single-day reversals between inflows and outflows, such as the swing seen between October 13 and October 14, often prompting closer scrutiny of what might be driving the shift in positioning.

The October 14 outflow for Ether ETFs arrived the same day that spot Bitcoin ETFs also posted a sizable net outflow of $261.4 million, suggesting the day’s selling pressure was not isolated to a single asset category but extended across both of the major US crypto ETF categories simultaneously. Whether that reflects a broader shift in risk appetite toward digital assets generally, or simply a coincidental overlap in redemption activity between the two categories, is not something the flow data itself can determine.

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. The table does not provide commentary on the catalyst behind any particular day’s flows, leaving the October 14 reversal as a data point for market participants to weigh against broader price action and news flow in Ether and the wider crypto market that day.
