U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took in $524.8 million on Wednesday, October 21, their third big day in a row, turning October\u2019s flows positive after a rough start as buyers came back into BTC USD. ETH ETFs went the other way. They have lost about $1 billion this month.<\/p>\n
The BTC USD price hasn\u2019t followed the money yet. Bitcoin is at $81,904<\/a>, down 1.6% in 24 hours after a report on U.S.\u2013Israeli strike plans against Iran sent oil higher.<\/p>\n So is Wall Street picking Bitcoin over Ethereum?<\/p>\n BTC treasury companies are in profit but barely buying.<\/p>\n They hold $BTC<\/a> at a cost basis of about $80K, and price has closed above it since September 18.<\/p>\n In profit, buying can feed on itself: purchases lift price, price lifts their shares, and their shares fund more purchases. https:\/\/t.co\/qcFvRu88Xs<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/jOtlUBEVWy<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 glassnode (@glassnode) October 21, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n Discover: Best Meme Coin ICOs to Invest in 2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Bitcoin ETF Flow\u00a0Farside<\/a><\/p>\n About $1.07 billion in three sessions: $526.6 million on Monday, $23.2 million on Tuesday, and $524.8 million on Wednesday. BlackRock\u2019s IBIT led Monday with $665.2 million, its biggest day since October 2025, and Fidelity\u2019s FBTC took in $212.7 million on Wednesday, its biggest day this month, after net outflows of $552 million through Tuesday.<\/p>\n That flipped the month. Bitcoin funds were down about $617 million in October, according to Friday\u2019s data.

The Ethereum ETF group had 12 days of outflows in the 14 sessions from October 2 to 21, losing about $1.01 billion, while Bitcoin funds gained $355 million over the same days.<\/p>\n\n The selling sits with one fund. BlackRock\u2019s ETHA has lost about $954 million this month, almost all of the group\u2019s outflow, and Ether ETFs only snapped a five-day losing streak on Wednesday with a $15 million inflow.<\/p>\n Big ETH buyers may simply be skipping the wrapper. ETHA doesn\u2019t stake its coins, while Tom Lee\u2019s Bitmine staked another 159,728 ETH<\/a> this week and earns the yield directly.<\/p>\n So far, yes. BTC sits about $1,000 above its 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) at $80,853, with the $80,410 support swing low just below it.<\/p>\n BTCUSDT Chart 1D\u00a0TradingView<\/a><\/p>\n The key levels on the daily chart:<\/p>\n First resistance: $82,300\u2013$82,850, near the recent swing highs. If ETF buying continues, BTC could reclaim $84,900 and move toward $87,220. If trading remains range-bound, BTC may fluctuate between $80,400 and $84,900 ahead of the Fed\u2019s October 27\u201328 meeting.<\/p>\n However, rising oil prices and weaker ETF flows could push BTC below the 50-day EMA toward $76,179. ETF buyers have shown a clear preference this month. Now, BTC USD needs price action to confirm that trend.<\/p>\n DISCOVER: 15+ Upcoming Coinbase Listings to Watch in 2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Follow 99Bitcoins on X<\/a> For the Latest Market Updates, and Subscribe on YouTube<\/a> For Daily Expert Market Analysis.<\/p>\n The post Bitcoin ETFs Turn October Positive With $1 Billion in Three Days While ETH Funds Bleed $1 Billion<\/a> appeared first on 99Bitcoins<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took in $524.8 million on Wednesday, October 21, their third big day in a row, turning October\u2019s flows positive after a rough start as buyers came back into BTC USD.
