US-listed 
Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have seen a significant influx of capital over the past two days, with $526.6 million entering on Monday followed by an additional $23.16 million on Tuesday. This surge in Bitcoin ETF inflows contrasts with the ongoing outflows from Ether ETFs, which have experienced their largest monthly outflow of 2026 so far.
According to data from SoSoValue, Ether ETFs have seen an outflow of $1.08 billion in October, wiping out the gains made in September and leaving the funds with only marginal yearly gains. This marks the biggest monthly outflow for Ether ETFs this year, indicating a potential shift in investor sentiment away from Ether and towards Bitcoin.
The data is corroborated by Cryptopolitan and Cointelegraph, which also report the $1.08 billion outflow from Ether ETFs. While Bitcoin.com focuses on the positive inflows into Bitcoin ETFs and the extended losing streak of 
Solana, Cryptopolitan and Cointelegraph provide additional context on the impact of the outflows on Ether ETFs' yearly performance.
The broader market context shows a positive trend, with the total crypto market cap at $2.86 trillion and the overall market broadly up. Bitcoin's price has increased by 2.44% in the last 24 hours, currently trading at $83,442, while Solana, despite the market rally, has extended its losing streak to 12 sessions.
The Fear & Greed index stands at 63, indicating a state of 'Greed' among investors. This suggests that while there is optimism in the market, the contrasting flows between Bitcoin and Ether ETFs could reflect a more nuanced shift in investor preferences and risk appetite.
