Last week, activity continued in spot Bitcoin ETFs traded in the USA. While a series of net inflows was achieved for six consecutive weeks, a total of $ 3.4 billion was directed to Bitcoin ETFs during this period. While there was a heavy inflow of money into the market at the beginning of the week, remarkable outflows were recorded on Thursday and Friday.
Six-Week Introductory Series Continues
These strong inflows have led to a total increase of over $3.4 billion in US-based Bitcoin ETFs since the process began on April 2, according to SoSoValue data. The 6-week period was the longest period of positive inflows for spot BTC ETFs since July last year. During this period, especially in mid-April, weekly inflows reached almost 1 billion dollars.
While a total of 622.75 million dollars of new inflow occurred in the last week, significant fund outflows were noted in the last days of the week. Despite outflows of $277.5 million on Thursday and $145.65 million on Friday, total inflows remained positive throughout the week.
Fluctuation in Institutional Interest
Demand for ETFs was quite strong at the beginning of the week. A total of over $999 million was seen on Monday and Tuesday. However, this momentum weakened from the middle of the week and the outflows came to the fore towards the close of the week.
This 6-week positive trend was the second longest streak after the record of 7 consecutive weeks of entry seen in the June-July 2025 period. Approximately $7.57 billion inflows were recorded during that period.
This increase in weekly inflows indicates that institutional investor confidence in the markets has started to increase again.
While institutional participation has increased significantly since spot Bitcoin ETFs first became available in the US, recent net inflows indicate continued demand.
Latest Situation in BTC and ETH Prices
Bitcoin price movement also followed in line with the inflows and outflows in ETFs. BTC, which was traded in a volatile range during the week, managed to hold on above the psychologically important level of 80 thousand dollars. BTC, which approached 82 thousand dollars in the middle of the week due to strong inflows, first retreated with the fund outflows at the end of the week, and then stabilized around $ 80,800. According to CryptoAppsy data, Bitcoin price remained at around $80,800 as of the weekend.
Meanwhile, Ether-focused ETFs have also returned to positive territory after the previous week’s outflows. Ethereum ETFs recorded a net inflow of $70.49 million in the week ending May 8, offsetting a portion of the $82.47 million outflow in the previous week.
