Claims and open questions
What sources claim
- The Block reported that BlackRock's IBIT led Thursday's net outflows with $254.1 million, while four other funds also saw withdrawals.
- Cointelegraph reported that Thursday's withdrawals ended a three-day inflow streak and left US spot bitcoin ETFs with $175 million in net outflows for October.
- The Block reported the day's total net outflows at about $636 million, erasing the previous day's inflows.
Still unresolved
- Whether the outflow figures reflect a single trading day's final tallies or preliminary data that issuers or fund trackers may revise.
- What share of the redemptions came from a single large holder versus broad-based selling across IBIT and the other four funds.
