U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs saw a sharp wave of redemptions from Monday, Nov. 2, through Friday, Nov. 6, 2026. Market-data reports put combined outflows at about $1.65 billion over those five trading days, with Bitcoin ETFs accounting for roughly $1.28 billion. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) was widely reported as the biggest single contributor.
Between Nov. 2 and Nov. 6, 2026, investors pulled money out of U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs. According to reports based on fund-flow data, combined outflows reached about $1.65 billion.
For Bitcoin ETFs alone, the weekly figure was reported at about $1.28 billion. The remainder is attributed to Ether products, with one headline putting Ether ETF losses near $365 million.
BlackRock's IBIT reportedly lost about $1.21 billion over the same week. Some reports say the fund recorded outflows in every session that week. Fidelity's Bitcoin fund and Grayscale's products also saw redemptions on some days, though the reports do not agree on their weekly totals.
Daily figures come from different outlets and do not always match, so treat them as estimates:
The reported figures point to a concentrated pattern. IBIT, the largest spot Bitcoin fund by many measures, accounts for a large share of the daily totals in several reports. That concentration matters because one fund's flows can move the whole category.
These figures come from fund-flow trackers rather than audited filings. The totals depend on which products each outlet includes and on whether Ether funds are counted with Bitcoin funds, which helps explain why the reported numbers vary.
Several reports link the withdrawals to weaker institutional demand for Bitcoin. ETF inflows had been a notable source of support for the price, so sustained redemptions remove a buyer.
Bitcoin reportedly rebounded to around $76,000 during the outflows, which one report described as a test of recovery. Other coverage refers to price support in the mid-$70,000 range. Some analysis also notes that 2026 net flows into Bitcoin ETFs have moved close to flat or negative, after earlier periods of heavy inflows.
For holders, the main point is that ETF outflows remove a source of buying pressure. Investors should not assume that flows will return quickly to support the price.
This is general information, not investment advice. People who trade or hold these products may want to watch daily flow data, size positions carefully, and set their own risk limits in advance rather than reacting to single-day headlines.
We have not found an official public statement from BlackRock explaining the withdrawals. The available coverage relies mainly on data from SoSoValue and Farside Investors, which track flows rather than report company decisions.
The daily numbers differ between outlets, and some conflict. For example, reported IBIT outflows for Nov. 5 and Nov. 6 vary across sources. Reports also disagree on whether Fidelity had a positive week relative to BlackRock. Some headlines tie the selloff to the U.S. midterm elections and a Binance hack, but the research does not establish how much either factor contributed. The exact total should be treated as an estimate until final fund data is published.

Open the live viewGet alerts on TelegramReports put combined Bitcoin and Ether ETF outflows at about $1.65 billion from Nov. 2 to Nov. 6, 2026. Bitcoin ETFs alone were reported at about $1.28 billion for the week. These are market-data estimates and figures vary by outlet.
The reports describe IBIT as the largest single contributor to the outflows, but none of the coverage we found includes an official explanation from BlackRock. The cause of the withdrawals is not confirmed by the company.
No. Outflows remove a source of demand, and several reports link them to weaker price support. But prices also depend on other factors, and Bitcoin rebounded to around $76,000 during the outflow period. Whether the pressure continues is unknown.
