Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded significant outflows ending their eight-day inflow streak on Oct. 1 as Bitcoin retreated below $62,000 amid rising tension in the Middle East. 
According to <a href="https://sosovalue.com/assets/etf/us-btc-spot" target="_blank">data </a>from SoSoValue, the 12-spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of $242.53 million, breaking an inflow streak that had brought <a href="https://crypto.news/bitcoin-etfs-see-eighth-straight-day-of-inflows-with-61-3m-ether-etfs-face-modest-outflows/" target="_blank">$1.42 billion</a> into these funds over the previous eight days. This marked the largest daily outflow since Sept. 3, when $288 million exited Bitcoin ETFs. 
Among the funds, <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/fidelity/" target="_blank">Fidelity</a>’s FBTC led the outflows with $144.7 million withdrawn on Oct. 1, followed by ARK 21Shares’ ARKB, which saw $84.3 million in outflows. Bitwise’s BITB and VanEck’s HODL also experienced notable outflows, losing $32.7 million and $15.8 million, respectively, while Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust saw a more modest decline of $5.9 million. 
The remaining spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded no outflows on the day. 
Despite the outflows, trading volume across the 12 Bitcoin ETFs surged, reaching $2.53 billion on Oct. 1. Since their launch, these funds have attracted a cumulative total of $18.62 billion in net inflows, highlighting sustained interest despite recent volatility.

The sharp outflows in Bitcoin ETFs were closely <a href="https://crypto.news/bitcoin-crypto-down-4-as-israel-iran-conflict-escalates/" target="_blank">tied to geopolitical events</a>. As news of Iran’s missile strikes on Israel broke, Bitcoin’s (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank">BTC</a>) price fell over 3.7%, shedding nearly $4,000 within 24 hours. The cryptocurrency hit a two-week low of around $60,315 before rebounding to approximately $61,500 at the time of writing. 
This decline in Bitcoin’s price was accompanied by a shift in market sentiment, as reflected in the Crypto Fear and Greed Index. The index <a href="https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/" target="_blank">dropped</a> from a neutral reading of 50 to a fear level of 42, indicating growing investor caution in the face of heightened geopolitical risks.
