U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded net inflows on October 13, 2026, while spot Solana ETFs continued to experience net outflows, highlighting a divergence in investor flows across major cryptocurrency investment products.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted approximately $175.62 million in net inflows, while Ethereum ETFs recorded $24.84 million. In contrast, Solana ETFs registered around $1.04 million in net outflows, according to daily ETF flow data.
Combined, the three asset categories recorded approximately $199.42 million in net inflows on the day. Bitcoin accounted for the largest share of the positive flows, while Ethereum also finished the session in positive territory.
The figures offer a snapshot of demand for regulated crypto investment products, but daily ETF flows alone do not establish whether the broader cryptocurrency market is entering a sustained recovery.
Bitcoin ETFs Lead With $175.62 Million in Inflows
Spot Bitcoin ETFs led the three categories on October 13, attracting approximately $175.62 million in net capital.
Data published by DeFiLlama, which attributes its ETF flow figures to Farside Investors, showed Bitcoin ETF inflows of roughly $175.7 million for the session.
Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) was the largest individual contributor, recording approximately $103.1 million in inflows. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) attracted around $65.9 million, while Morgan Stanley’s Bitcoin ETF recorded approximately $6.7 million.
These inflows indicate that net creations of Bitcoin ETF shares exceeded redemptions across the category during the reporting session.
However, the positive daily result followed a volatile period for the products. Recent trading sessions included substantial withdrawals, demonstrating that institutional investment flows can change significantly from one day to the next.
The October 13 figures therefore represent a positive session for Bitcoin ETFs rather than definitive evidence of a sustained return of institutional demand.
Ethereum ETFs Record $24.84 Million in Net Inflows
Spot Ethereum ETFs also posted positive flows, attracting approximately $24.84 million on October 13.
The Grayscale Ethereum Staking Mini Trust recorded about $16.7 million in inflows, while Fidelity’s Ethereum Fund added approximately $8.1 million. Together, the two products accounted for the reported net inflow across the category.
Ethereum ETFs had faced a difficult start to October, with earlier reports documenting consecutive sessions of net outflows. The return to positive daily flows may indicate a temporary improvement in demand, although additional sessions will be needed to determine whether the shift continues.
Ethereum ETF activity is closely watched because these products provide investors with exchange-traded exposure to ETH without requiring them to directly manage cryptocurrency wallets or private keys.
Still, a single day of inflows does not necessarily mean investors have become broadly more bullish on Ethereum. ETF flows can reflect portfolio adjustments, short-term trading strategies, arbitrage activity and changing risk preferences, as well as longer-term investment decisions.
Solana ETFs Extend Their Outflow Trend
Spot Solana ETFs moved in the opposite direction, recording approximately $1.04 million in net outflows on October 13.
DeFiLlama’s ETF dashboard showed Solana ETF withdrawals of around $1 million for the session. Alpha Finance’s Solana ETF dashboard also recorded an outflow of approximately $1 million and described October 13 as the seventh consecutive trading session with net withdrawals.
Bitwise’s Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) accounted for the reported outflow in the latest session, while the other tracked products showed no net flow in the available daily breakdown.
The continued withdrawals are notable because Solana ETFs had previously attracted inflows during a period of strong investor interest. The recent reversal suggests that net demand for these products has weakened in the short term.
However, the scale of the latest outflow was relatively small compared with the daily inflows recorded by Bitcoin ETFs. The figures should be evaluated against the different sizes and trading histories of the three ETF categories.
Solana ETF outflows also do not automatically mean that investors are selling SOL directly in spot markets. Fund redemptions, portfolio rebalancing and arbitrage-related activity can all affect reported flows.
October 13 Crypto ETF Flows at a Glance
The daily figures show a clear difference between Bitcoin and Ethereum products, which attracted capital, and Solana products, which recorded withdrawals.
| Spot ETF category | Net flow on October 13 |
|---|---|
| Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs | +$175.62 million |
| Ethereum (ETH) ETFs | +$24.84 million |
| Solana (SOL) ETFs | -$1.04 million |
| Combined net flow | +$199.42 million |
Figures are rounded. Combined net flow is calculated from the three figures above.
The combined positive result was driven primarily by Bitcoin ETFs. Ethereum contributed a smaller positive amount, while Solana’s withdrawals only partially offset the inflows.
These totals cover the three specified ETF categories, not every cryptocurrency ETF or all investment flows across the digital-asset market.
What ETF Flows Mean for the Crypto Market
ETF net flows measure the difference between money entering and leaving investment products over a reporting period. They are commonly monitored as an indicator of demand for regulated exposure to digital assets.
When net inflows occur, fund creations exceed redemptions. For spot products that hold the underlying cryptocurrency, creations and redemptions can influence the funds’ need to acquire or dispose of the asset, although settlement timing and market-maker activity can affect when those transactions occur.
Net outflows indicate the opposite balance, but they do not necessarily prove that investors have lost confidence in an asset.
Several factors can influence daily ETF flows:
- Institutional portfolio adjustments: Investors may increase or reduce exposure as market conditions change.
- Profit-taking and risk management: Investors may redeem shares after price movements or when adjusting portfolio risk.
- Relative asset demand: Capital flows can differ between Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana as investors reassess their preferred exposures.
- Market structure: Fund creations, redemptions and arbitrage transactions can influence reported daily figures.
For this reason, analysts generally need to examine multiple sessions, cumulative flows, assets under management and broader market conditions before drawing conclusions about investor sentiment.
Does This Signal a Bitcoin and Ethereum Recovery?
The October 13 data show that Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs attracted fresh net inflows while Solana ETFs recorded another day of withdrawals. That divergence may be relevant to investors tracking institutional demand for different digital assets.
Nevertheless, ETF flows should not be treated as a standalone price forecast. Positive flows do not guarantee that Bitcoin or Ethereum prices will rise, just as withdrawals do not guarantee that Solana will decline.
A more reliable assessment would combine ETF flow trends with spot trading volumes, price action, liquidity conditions, macroeconomic developments and flows over subsequent sessions.
If Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs continue to attract capital over several trading days, that would provide stronger evidence of sustained demand than a single positive session. Similarly, a reversal in Solana’s outflow streak would help clarify whether the recent withdrawals were temporary or part of a longer trend.
Bottom Line
Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded approximately $175.62 million in net inflows on October 13, 2026, while Ethereum ETFs attracted $24.84 million. Solana ETFs moved in the opposite direction, posting around $1.04 million in net outflows.
Across the three categories, the figures represent approximately $199.42 million in combined net inflows, led by Bitcoin investment products.
The session highlights differing short-term flows across the three assets. Whether the figures mark a sustained improvement in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF demand—or continued weakness in Solana ETF flows—will depend on how these trends develop in subsequent trading sessions.
