U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took in $524.8 million on Wednesday, October 21, their third big day in a row, turning October\u2019s flows positive after a rough start as buyers came back into BTC USD. ETH ETFs went the other way. They have lost about $1 billion this month.<\/p>\n

The BTC USD price hasn\u2019t followed the money yet. Bitcoin is at $81,904<\/a>, down 1.6% in 24 hours after a report on U.S.\u2013Israeli strike plans against Iran sent oil higher.<\/p>\n

So is Wall Street picking Bitcoin over Ethereum?<\/p>\n

BTC treasury companies are in profit but barely buying.<\/p>\n

They hold $BTC<\/a> at a cost basis of about $80K, and price has closed above it since September 18.<\/p>\n

In profit, buying can feed on itself: purchases lift price, price lifts their shares, and their shares fund more purchases. https:\/\/t.co\/qcFvRu88Xs<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/jOtlUBEVWy<\/a><\/p>\n

How Much Have Bitcoin ETFs Taken In This Week, and Who Is Doing the Buying?<\/h2>\n
\"BTC
Bitcoin ETF Flow\u00a0Farside<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

About $1.07 billion in three sessions: $526.6 million on Monday, $23.2 million on Tuesday, and $524.8 million on Wednesday. BlackRock\u2019s IBIT led Monday with $665.2 million, its biggest day since October 2025, and Fidelity\u2019s FBTC took in $212.7 million on Wednesday, its biggest day this month, after net outflows of $552 million through Tuesday.<\/p>\n

That flipped the month. Bitcoin funds were down about $617 million in October, according to Friday\u2019s data. They are now up about $457 million.<\/p>\n

Is Ethereum Falling Behind Bitcoin? ETH ETFs Lose $1 Billion in Three Weeks<\/h2>\n

On flows and price, yes. The Ethereum ETF group had 12 days of outflows in the 14 sessions from October 2 to 21, losing about $1.01 billion, while Bitcoin funds gained $355 million over the same days.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The selling sits with one fund. BlackRock\u2019s ETHA has lost about $954 million this month, almost all of the group\u2019s outflow, and Ether ETFs only snapped a five-day losing streak on Wednesday with a $15 million inflow.<\/p>\n

Big ETH buyers may simply be skipping the wrapper. ETHA doesn\u2019t stake its coins, while Tom Lee\u2019s Bitmine staked another 159,728 ETH<\/a> this week and earns the yield directly.<\/p>\n

BTC USD Price Analysis: Can a Billion Dollars of ETF Buying Keep Bitcoin Above $80,400?<\/h2>\n

So far, yes. BTC sits about $1,000 above its 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) at $80,853, with the $80,410 support swing low just below it.<\/p>\n
