Just ten days into October, US Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have shed a combined $986 million, signaling that institutional allocators are pulling back from crypto exposure at a notable pace.

ETF wrappers were the vehicle that brought mainstream and institutional money into crypto in the first place, so outflows at this scale are a direct measure of fading conviction.

Nearly $1 billion out the door in roughly a third of the month leaves open the question of where the monthly total lands if the pace holds.

Kalshi flagged the figure on October 10, and the crypto community is watching the outflow trend closely as a barometer for near-term sentiment.
