Bitcoin (BTC) spot ETFs recorded 5.1 million USD in net inflows on October 15, 2026. As Coinpaper reported, citing Farside Investors data, the inflow followed 261.4 million USD in net outflows on October 14, 2026. The Bitcoin price is 81,493.80 USD as of October 20, 2026, down 1.12 percent compared with the UTC daily close of October 19, 2026, according to Investing.com.

ETF inflows reached 5.1 million USD

The October 15, 2026 ETF result was led by BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust, which recorded 16.8 million USD in inflows, according to Coinpaper. Grayscale's Bitcoin Trust recorded 7.6 million USD in withdrawals, while Invesco's BTCO reported 4.1 million USD in outflows. The figures measure net creations and redemptions in U.S. spot ETF products rather than direct BTC transactions.

The four sessions from October 12 through October 15, 2026, included 65.4 million USD in outflows on October 12, 175.7 million USD in inflows on October 13, 261.4 million USD in outflows on October 14 and 5.1 million USD in inflows on October 15, according to Crypto Economy.

659,489 active addresses marked October 14

Bitcoin network activity also supplied a separate data point on October 14, 2026. TokenPost reported that active addresses increased from 651,256 to 659,489. The same report recorded a net exchange inflow of 1,317 BTC, a figure that can indicate coins moving toward trading venues and adds a counterpoint to the ETF inflow.

That network reading concerns address activity, not the number of individual people using Bitcoin. The exchange figure covers BTC transfers into exchanges and does not measure spot ETF subscriptions, so the two data sets describe different parts of the market on October 14, 2026.
