US spot ETH ETFs have lost a net $1.18 billion in October 2026, through October 22. That figure comes from Farside Investors data, reported by CryptoWatchDesk. BlackRock's ETHA accounts for $1,029.4 million of it. The month is not over, so the total can still move.
Earlier in the week, SoSoValue data showed $1.08 billion out through October 20. Two more days of flows took it past $1.18 billion.

Why it matters for stakers and institutions
ETF flows show how one group of investors feels this month. They do not change how Ethereum staking works. Rewards still come from the protocol, not from fund flows. Institutions that hold ETH themselves can stake it and earn those rewards on their own terms.
