Ether traded at $2,694.78 early Sunday, up 0.65% on the day, after U.S. spot Ether ETFs recorded about $118 million of net outflows in the week ending 2 October. Farside Investors data, with Friday's BlackRock ETHA and ETHB lines still blank when checked on 3 October, shows the category started Monday with $17.1 million of inflows. It then lost $2.8 million on Tuesday, $59.6 million on Wednesday, and $55.4 million on Thursday, plus a provisional $17.3 million on Friday. In the week of 21 to 25 September the same funds took in $689.8 million, led by a $270 million Monday. Ether closed around $2,670 on 2 October, its lowest close since 20 September, after failing to hold above $2,800.
Bitcoin funds bought while Ether funds redeemed
Spot Bitcoin ETFs took a provisional $82.9 million in the same window. The split matters more than the size. Institutions did not leave the wrapper complex. They left ether. Solana ETFs added only $800,000, down from $188.1 million the week before. A 3x ether product cleared for listing on Cboe BZX on Friday would use futures, and it is not trading yet. It does not replace a spot creation. If ETHA's missing Friday line is another outflow, the $118 million week gets larger. The $2,800 area is still the level that rejected the bounce. A listing rule does not put coins back into the funds. See bitcoin's $82.9 million week, the SEC's 3x order, and September's $162 million Ether session.
