Executive Briefing

According to reporting by Decrypt Financial Technology, Bitcoin ETFs saw $643.2 million in outflows Friday, the first full trading session after the $6.4 billion Binance hack, ending October with roughly $516 million in net outflows.

Detailed Factual Report

The first real test of how ETF investors would react to the largest crypto hack in history came back red.

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs shed $643.2 million on Friday, according to Decrypt ’s ETF tracker, their biggest single-day outflow of October. It was the funds’ first full session since attackers began draining roughly $6.4 billion from Binance at 4:05 p.m. ET Thursday, after U.S. markets had closed. Thursday’s $17.2 million in inflows predated the theft.

The selling erased a four-day, $441 million inflow run, leaving the funds down about $202 million for the week and roughly $516 million for October. Cumulative net inflows since launch slipped to $57.4 billion, with total net assets at $103.2 billion.

Ethereum and Solana ETFs fared worse relative to their size. Ethereum funds lost $155.7 million on Friday, extending a five-day outflow streak to about $431 million and pushing October losses to roughly $1.61 billion. Solana ETFs shed $10.8 million, their fifth straight day of outflows, totaling about $72 million for the week. They logged net inflows on just two days all month.
