Headline: Крипто-ETF теряют средства на фоне рыночных потрясений: отток превышает $750 млн Translation: Crypto-ETFs Lose Funds Amid Market Turmoil: Outflow Exceeds $750 Million

A net outflow of funds from spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in the United States reached $755 million on the first trading day following significant market liquidations. On October 13, $326.5 million was withdrawn from funds based on the original cryptocurrency.

The largest outflows were recorded from Grayscale GBTC ($145.4 million) and Bitwise BITB ($115.64 million). The only fund to see an inflow was the IBIT from BlackRock, which attracted $60.36 million.

Ethereum ETFs performed worse overall, with total outflows amounting to $428.5 million. The biggest drop was seen in BlackRock’s ETHA, which lost $310 million.

Analysts attributed these outflows to the market’s reaction to the market crash on October 11, triggered by a statement from U.S. President Donald Trump regarding potential 100% tariffs on Chinese goods.

“Outflows reflect caution following the liquidations. Investors are taking a breather in anticipation of clear macroeconomic signals,” stated Vincent Liu, CIO of Kronos Research.

Presto Research analyst Min Jun believes that these events reflect “short-term risk management, rather than a structural shift in sentiment.” He believes that capital flows into ETFs should normalize.

The situation in the market is further complicated by the temporary suspension of the U.S. government, which has led the SEC to delay the review of at least 16 applications for crypto ETF launches, including those based on Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin.

“We view the current situation as a temporary regulatory glitch. It has slowed down the process but hasn’t changed the fundamental conditions for further market growth,” he noted.

According to the expert, once government operations resume, the market may see an “accelerated wave of approvals” that could pave the way for institutional capital inflows.

Meanwhile, a popular sentiment indicator remains in the “fear zone,” indicating investor caution.

“The current market fluctuations provide investors with an opportunity to adjust their positions ahead of expected fund inflows into ETFs. Historically, periods of uncertainty have often preceded growth,” emphasized a representative from the exchange.

At Bitget, it’s believed that the approval of new ETFs could act as a catalyst for altcoin growth and support an upward trend in the market by the end of the year.

Recall that between October 4 and 10, investors funneled $3.17 billion into cryptocurrency investment products.
