U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net outflow of $89.9 million on October 5, reversing a $189.9 million inflow the prior session, according to figures cited from SoSoValue by TokenPost and BingX. BlackRock’s IBIT was the only fund with a positive print, adding $69.9 million. ARKB lost $85.2 million. Fidelity’s FBTC lost $74.5 million.
The price did not follow the redemptions in a straight line. On OKX’s daily table, October 6 opened at $85,267.60, traded as high as $86,142.80 and as low as $84,979.50, and last showed $85,562.60. That is roughly $700 under Monday’s $86,994 high. Five-day ETF flows were still positive at $120.3 million. Combined ETF assets sat near $110.8 billion, about 6.43 percent of Bitcoin’s market value, with cumulative net inflows since launch at $57.7 billion.
October 6 is also the calendar anniversary of the recorded peak. BitKan’s history page puts the all-time high above $126,199.63 on October 6, 2025. The morning print leaves Bitcoin about $40,637 under that mark, a 32 percent gap, with circulating supply near 20.09 million of the 21 million cap.

How large was the October 5 Bitcoin ETF outflow?
Small against the book, large against the previous day. $89.9 million is less than 0.1 percent of the $110.8 billion sitting in the spot products. It is also a full reversal of Friday’s $189.9 million intake. The split matters more than the net: IBIT kept buying while ARKB and FBTC accounted for the redemptions. TokenPost put the five-session total at +$120.3 million, so one red day did not erase the week.
The session range on OKX was $1,163.30 wide. Volume on that row was $109.33 million, thinner than Monday’s $532.34 million. A thinner book and a split ETF tape can coexist. Neither number says where the next print lands.
What to watch next
Tuesday’s ETF file, which will show whether ARKB’s $85.2 million exit was a one-day rebalance. The other level is the October 6 low at $84,979.50. A close under that figure would be the first OKX daily finish below $85,000 since October 3, when the close was $84,864.30.
