U.S. bitcoin ETFs recorded significant outflows while Zcash and NEAR showed inflows, highlighting shifting investor sentiment.

U.S. bitcoin ETFs recorded significant outflows while Zcash and NEAR showed inflows, highlighting shifting investor sentiment. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at ₹76,49,518 ($80,520.00). This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by Bitcoin.com, with live market data added, as of Sun, 25 Oct 2026 19:45:02 UTC.

Why it matters

The substantial outflows from bitcoin ETFs signal potential shifts in institutional sentiment, while continued inflows into Zcash and NEAR suggest growing interest in privacy-focused and scalable blockchain projects.

Key takeaways
  • U.S. bitcoin ETFs saw $137.94M in outflows on Friday.
  • Zcash and NEAR were the only crypto categories with inflows.
  • Zcash's 7-day price up 12.42%, outperforming broader market.

U.S. bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) closed the week with a significant net outflow of $137.94 million, according to Bitcoin.com. This follows a week of volatility where large inflows were quickly offset by substantial reversals.

In contrast, Ether (ETH) returned to modest inflows, while Zcash (ZEC) and NEAR Protocol (NEAR) were the only other crypto categories to attract fresh capital. This suggests a potential shift in investor focus towards privacy and scalability features.

The data from Bitcoin.com shows that while bitcoin ETFs experienced outflows, other segments of the crypto market, particularly those offering unique value propositions, continue to see interest. This is corroborated by the 7-day price performance of Zcash, which is up 12.42%.

The broader crypto market remains relatively flat, with a total market cap of $2.77 trillion. Bitcoin's price is at $80,580, showing a slight 24-hour increase of 0.07%, while the Fear & Greed Index stands at 54, indicating a neutral market sentiment.

The outflows from bitcoin ETFs could be a sign of profit-taking or a shift in institutional strategy, while the inflows into Zcash and NEAR suggest growing interest in their respective technological advantages. Investors will likely watch for further developments in fund flows and market sentiment in the coming week.

What this means in rupee

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 BTC ≈ ₹8.02M (about $80,520.00), up 0.1% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 4.8% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
