The exodus from Bitcoin exchange-traded funds persisted through four consecutive trading days, spanning Tuesday through Friday. Thursday marked the most severe session, witnessing $282.7 million departing Bitcoin investment vehicles in just one day—representing the heaviest daily withdrawal since July.
ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF experienced the most substantial redemptions, recording $234.2 million in outflows. Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust ETF came next with $129.1 million in withdrawals. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF saw $52.5 million exit, while Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund reported $50.7 million in outflows.
Even with the previous week’s negative performance, Bitcoin ETFs maintain a positive September balance overall, currently showing approximately $307.3 million in cumulative net inflows for the month.
Ethereum investment products displayed mixed movement early in the week before experiencing a significant positive surge on Friday. BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust ETF dominated that trading session with $148.8 million in fresh capital, with the 21Shares Core Ethereum ETF adding $29.1 million.
The Ethereum ETF performance aligns with a more extensive third-quarter pattern. The ETH/BTC ratio has surged over 25% this quarter, representing its most substantial quarterly expansion since Q3 2025. Ethereum’s Q3 investment returns are nearing 60%, falling just below its historical Q3 benchmark of over 66% established the previous year.
Source; TradingView Ethereum’s share of the total cryptocurrency market has also increased by more than 25% on a quarter-to-quarter comparison, while Bitcoin’s market share expanded by only 1.5% during the identical timeframe.
Regardless of the ETF flow dynamics, market pricing for both digital assets has not validated a definitive capital rotation.
Bitcoin declined to $76,370 throughout the week but discovered buying support above its 100-hour moving average positioned at $77,290. Since then, it has advanced toward its 200-hour moving average approximately at $78,151, with current pricing hovering near $78,200 as of Monday morning.
Ethereum fell to $2,402 before experiencing a sharp rebound to $2,666, representing approximately 7.75% appreciation within hours. Nevertheless, this upward movement has been nearly completely erased, with prices returning to approximately $2,510, marginally above its converged 100- and 200-hour moving averages located at $2,494 and $2,497.
Market analysts indicate that for Ethereum to demonstrate genuine momentum, it must penetrate and maintain levels above the $2,531 to $2,567 resistance corridor.
Market observers emphasize that a single week of divergent ETF activity might simply represent portfolio rebalancing or profit-taking strategies rather than a fundamental capital shift. Multiple consecutive trading sessions featuring Ethereum inflows paired with Bitcoin outflows would be necessary to validate an authentic rotation.
Both digital assets are working to establish stable price floors, though neither has definitively breached important resistance thresholds.
