Spot ETFs record 5.06 million USD of inflows
The daily inflow followed a 261.46 million USD net outflow on October 14, 2026, according to TokenPost, which cited SoSoValue data. BlackRock's IBIT received 16.79 million USD on October 15, while Grayscale's BTC fund posted a 7.64 million USD outflow and Invesco's BTCO recorded a 4.09 million USD outflow. Spot ETFs hold Bitcoin directly while trading on regulated exchanges, so their daily flow figures track net creations and redemptions in those products.
The October 15 result left the products with 56.96 billion USD in cumulative net inflows, while total net assets stood at 105.71 billion USD, according to the same TokenPost report. These figures describe fund activity rather than direct buying or selling by every ETF investor.
Active addresses reach 659,489 on October 14
Bitcoin network activity also changed during the period. Active addresses, meaning unique blockchain addresses involved in transactions, reached 659,489 on October 14, 2026, up from 651,256 on the previous reported reading, according to Coin Metrics data cited by TokenPost. The metric measures participation in the network but does not identify whether activity came from buying, selling or transfers.
The flow picture remains uneven. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded 261.4 million USD in net outflows on October 14, 2026, with Fidelity's FBTC accounting for 152.7 million USD and BlackRock's IBIT for 110.9 million USD, according to Tokenist. The October 14 outflow and October 15 inflow were separate daily observations.
