US Spot Bitcoin ETFs Post Sixth Straight Week of Inflows

US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a sixth consecutive week of net inflows, taking in $3.4 billion in combined new money from the week of April 2 through Friday, according to SoSoValue.

Weekly totals over the six-week span ranged from $22.34 million in the week of April 2 to $996.38 million in the week of April 17. The most recent week contributed $622.75 million.

Daily flows in the latest week were uneven. Monday and Tuesday drew $532.21 million and $467.35 million respectively. Wednesday slowed to $46.33 million, and the week ended with outflows of $277.50 million on Thursday and $145.65 million on Friday.

The current six-week run follows a seven-week surge from June 13 to July 18, 2025, when US spot Bitcoin ETFs accumulated roughly $7.57 billion, including weekly inflows of $2.72 billion and $2.39 billion in mid-2025.

Markets entered the end of the week with attention on US April Nonfarm Payrolls. Consensus estimates pointed to payroll growth of about 62,000 versus the prior month’s 178,000. An ADP private payrolls print of 109,000 earlier in the week added to the range of data participants were weighing.

Analysts also cited a brief exchange of fire between the US and Iran near the Strait of Hormuz while noting both sides left room for negotiations. Bitunix analysts wrote, “On the geopolitical front, although the US and Iran have once again exchanged fire around the Strait of Hormuz, both sides continue to leave room for negotiations.”

Bitcoin price action reflected intraday swings. Bitcoin slipped below $80,000 on Thursday, with liquidity concentrated near $78,000 and heavy short positioning between $82,000 and $83,000. Analysts warned that a breakdown below $78,000 could prompt cascading liquidations.

Ether-focused ETFs returned to positive territory for the week ending May 8, posting $70.49 million in net inflows after the prior week saw $82.47 million in outflows. Ether products had earlier drawn about $617.91 million across a three-week period from April 10 to April 24, including $275.83 million in the week of April 17.

Daily flows for Ether ETFs in the most recent week were mixed: Monday and Tuesday recorded $61.29 million and $97.57 million in inflows, Wednesday $11.57 million, Thursday $103.52 million in outflows and Friday $3.57 million.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs hold actual Bitcoin on behalf of shareholders and provide regulated, exchange-traded exposure to the digital asset without requiring individual custody. The six-week inflow stretch occurred alongside the price moves and macroeconomic and geopolitical events described above.
