Ethereum and Solana Spot ETFs Record Heavy Net Outflows in First Half of October
Spot exchange-traded funds for Ethereum and Solana recorded combined net outflows approaching $1 billion between October 1 and October 16 as token prices softened.
Spot exchange-traded funds holding Ethereum and Solana recorded nearly $1 billion in total net withdrawals between October 1 and October 16, 2026. During the period leading up to October 18, broader market valuations declined, with Ethereum trading near $2,417 and Solana near $104 as Bitcoin dropped 1.4%.
Ethereum funds experienced $954.8 million in net outflows over the 16-day span, recording negative net flows on every session except October 13, which saw $24.8 million in inflows. Outflows on October 16 totaled $69.7 million, all originating from BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust. Across all Ethereum ETFs, the net redemptions accounted for roughly 6.4% of their $14.95 billion in total net assets.
By comparison, Solana ETFs posted $54.9 million in net outflows across the same timeframe, enduring a longer unbroken string of negative sessions that concluded with a $12.7 million withdrawal on October 16. However, because Solana funds held $1.62 billion in net assets, their redemptions represented approximately 3.4% of total assets, reflecting a smaller proportional reduction than that seen in Ethereum funds.
These two are not the same thing, and one does not produce the other. The left is how this single article reads, from its tone alone. The right is the site’s own call on the asset, from indicators and analysis. Press tone feeds no score and no signal: on the only corpus this site has measured, daily tone tracked the move that had already happened and showed no measurable link with what followed.
