Bitcoin ETF inflows reverse prior week's withdrawals as IBIT leads, CryptoSlate reports
· By MyCryptoSignal Editorial · 346 words
CryptoSlate reports that Monday's Bitcoin ETF inflows more than reversed the previous week's net withdrawals, with BlackRock's IBIT the only fund to record positive net flows. The outlet frames the gap between Bitcoin and Ethereum fund flows at $630 million, with BlackRock dominant. The piece was published on 20 October 2026.
CryptoSlate's account centres on a single session of fund flows. Monday's net inflows, the outlet says, exceeded the total net withdrawals recorded across the prior week, turning the weekly tally positive. Within that group, IBIT was the only fund with positive net flows, according to CryptoSlate. The headline puts the divide between Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF flows at $630 million and describes BlackRock as dominant.
CryptoSlate published the story on 20 October 2026, with no author byline listed. The summary does not break out individual fund figures beyond IBIT, and it does not give Ethereum fund flows in dollar terms.
Our own numbers, collected as of 13:16 UTC, show both assets lower on the day. Bitcoin traded at $81,396, down 1.52% over 24 hours, inside a range of $81,155 to $82,457. It is down 2.08% over seven days and up 1.37% over 30 days. Its 14-period RSI reads 40.1 with a flat trend; support sits at $81,290 and resistance at $81,466.20.
Ethereum traded at $2,388.23, down 1.55% on the day, between $2,374.52 and $2,418.38. It has lost 4.19% over seven days and 7.12% over 30 days, with an RSI of 39.9 and a down trend. Support is $2,377.90 and resistance $2,404.20. The wider market cap stood at $2.574 trillion, down 1.26% in 24 hours, with Bitcoin dominance at 63.6%.
The flow figures and the price data point the same way for Ethereum: fund demand described as concentrated in Bitcoin, and a 30-day decline of 7.12% in ETH against a 1.37% gain in BTC. Bitcoin dominance at 63.6% reflects that split. What the numbers set up is a market where the two largest assets are diverging on both flows and price, with both RSIs below 50.
