Ethereum ETFs lost 129.5 million USD on October 14

Coinpaper reported that the October 14 outflow followed a 24.8 million USD inflow on October 13. BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust accounted for 109.8 million USD of the October 14 withdrawals, while Grayscale's Ethereum Mini Trust recorded 18.8 million USD in outflows and 21Shares' EZET recorded 900,000 USD in withdrawals. The figures describe net flows into and out of US spot ETF products rather than direct transfers of ETH on the Ethereum network.

Glamsterdam targets Hoodi activation on October 26

Ethereum developers maintained October 26, 2026, as the target for Glamsterdam activation on the Hoodi test network during the All Core Developers Consensus Call on October 15, according to EtherWorld. A test network activation is a network-development milestone and does not establish an activation date for Ethereum mainnet.

The Glamsterdam work includes changes to Ethereum's execution and consensus layers. The October 15 call also declined four Consensus Layer proposals for the Hegota upgrade, according to EtherWorld. The separate upgrade decisions show that protocol development continues across more than one proposal set in October 2026.
