U.S.-listed Bitcoin ETFs closed last week with $622.75 million in net inflows despite late selling pressure. The funds marked a sixth straight week of gains, their longest streak since August 2025. Meanwhile, Bitcoin held near $80,800 after swinging between $80,000 and $82,000 during the week.
Bitcoin ETFs Extend Six-Week Inflow Streak
US Bitcoin ETFs attracted nearly $3.4 billion over six consecutive weeks starting April 2. SoSoValue data showed that the latest week added $622.75 million in fresh capital. However, Thursday recorded $277.50 million in outflows, and Friday posted another $145.65 million in withdrawals.
Earlier in the week, strong buying offset the late reversal and kept totals positive. Monday and Tuesday together brought in more than $999 million before flows slowed on Wednesday. The six-week run now stands as the longest inflow period since seven weeks between June and July 2025.
During that earlier period, funds absorbed about $7.57 billion. Market participants described the prior phase as one of the largest accumulation cycles since launch. The current streak reflects renewed institutional allocation into regulated Bitcoin products.
Price action tracked the changes in fund flows throughout the week. Bitcoin price climbed toward $82,000 when early inflows strengthened demand. However, the asset retreated after outflows accelerated and settled near $80,800 by Sunday.
The cryptocurrency maintained support above the $80,000 threshold despite volatility. Traders observed price swings as ETF flows shifted direction. Bitcoin closed the week within the upper range of recent trading levels.
Ethereum ETFs Return to Weekly Net Inflows
Spot Ethereum ETFs also shifted direction after last week’s redemptions. Ether-focused products recorded $70.49 million in net inflows for the week ending May 8. The inflows reversed part of the previous week’s $82.47 million in outflows.
Fund data showed steady buying across several trading sessions. Although flows remained smaller than Bitcoin totals, Ether products returned to positive territory. The move ended a brief period of withdrawals recorded one week earlier.
Bitcoin ETFs experienced their strongest week of the streak in mid-April. During that period, weekly inflows approached $1 billion as demand accelerated. Recent data confirmed that early-week subscriptions drove the latest positive total.
SoSoValue reported that institutional participation supported most inflow sessions. Analysts stated, “The recovery trend indicates institutions are increasing exposure through ETF structures.” The statement followed six consecutive weeks of cumulative gains.
Despite two days of heavy outflows, aggregate demand kept weekly figures positive. Funds maintained momentum built since early April. The latest reported data covers flows through May 8 and reflects closing balances for the week.
