Bitcoin (BTC) spot ETFs recorded 635 million USD in net outflows on October 22, 2026, according to Cointelegraph. The Bitcoin price stands at 80,841.30 USD as of October 24, 2026, down 0.89 percent compared with the UTC daily close of October 23, 2026.

October 22 brought 635 million USD in ETF outflows

The reported withdrawals ended a three-session run of inflows that had attracted 1.08 billion USD. Cointelegraph said the October 22 outflow pushed monthly U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF flows back into negative territory at 175 million USD. Spot ETFs are exchange-traded funds that buy or hold Bitcoin directly, so their daily creations and redemptions track capital moving into or out of those products.

The flow data describe fund activity rather than a complete measure of Bitcoin demand. The same report said weekly net flows remained positive at 443 million USD, leaving two different time windows in view: a daily withdrawal on October 22, 2026, and a positive weekly total.

Swiss regulator approved retail access on October 20

Switzerland's financial regulator approved the country's first retail spot Bitcoin ETF on October 20, 2026, according to Unlock Blockchain. The report said the product was classified as an alternative investment fund and was expected to begin trading on SIX Swiss Exchange in November. The regulator also required attention to custody and operational risks and warned that investors could lose a substantial portion of their capital.

The approval adds a regulated access point outside the U.S. ETF market, while the October 22 outflow shows that fund flows can change sharply from one session to the next. Unlock Blockchain noted that ETF flows do not independently establish investors' price expectations or show precisely how much buying reached the spot Bitcoin market.
