Spot Bitcoin ETFs traded in the United States have logged net inflows for six consecutive weeks, marking the longest stretch of uninterrupted growth since August 2025. Data shows that from the week starting April 2 through last Friday, total inflows reached 3.4 billion dollars, underlining renewed investor appetite for digital assets.
Details of the Six-Week Inflows
The strongest weekly inflows were recorded on April 17, when nearly 996.38 million dollars entered spot Bitcoin ETFs. In contrast, the series started off slowly, with only 22.34 million dollars of net inflows during the first week. Most recently, investors added a further 622.75 million dollars in the past week.
This surge represents the longest inflow sequence since last summer’s seven-week rally, when inflows hit a record 7.57 billion dollars. During that previous run, a single week in July 2025 saw 2.72 billion dollars flow into these products, followed by another week with 2.39 billion dollars in new capital.
However, flow momentum cooled by the end of last week. Outflows totaled 277.50 million dollars on Thursday and 145.65 million dollars on Friday. This was counterbalanced by strong inflows of 532.21 million and 467.35 million dollars on Monday and Tuesday, respectively. Trade volumes slowed midweek, with Wednesday’s inflows shrinking to 46.33 million dollars.
Market and Economic Developments
Markets ended last week on a cautious note, as investors awaited the US April non-farm payrolls report. Analysts projected an increase of only 62,000 jobs, significantly lower than the previous period’s 178,000, indicating a likely slowdown in the US labor market.
Bitunix analysts highlighted in a note that the ADP report released earlier in the week showed 109,000 new private jobs were added. This discrepancy has made it harder to gauge the overall picture, increasing uncertainty for investors trying to determine market direction.
Bitunix explained that, “Although tensions between the US and Iran resurfaced around the Strait of Hormuz, both countries seem willing to keep diplomatic channels open. Partial agreement is reportedly close on certain maritime issues.”
Latest on Bitcoin and Ether ETFs
In the crypto market, Bitcoin slipped below 80,000 dollars on Thursday. According to CryptoAppsy data, liquidity was heavily concentrated around the 78,000 dollar level during this drop. Analysts warned that a move below this threshold could trigger a cascade of liquidations, while open positions clustered in the 82,000 to 83,000 dollar range have created a tense balancing act in the market.
Meanwhile, Ether ETFs returned to positive territory during the week ending May 8. After seeing 82.47 million dollars in net outflows last week, the latest data shows net inflows of 70.49 million dollars. This recovery follows a strong uptrend in April, when net inflows reached 617.91 million dollars over three weeks, topping out at 275.83 million during the week of April 17.
On a daily basis, Thursday saw outflows of 103.52 million dollars, which almost erased the week’s gains. Earlier in the week, 61.29 million and 97.57 million dollars poured in on Monday and Tuesday, respectively. Inflows slowed to 11.57 million dollars on Wednesday, but a 3.57 million dollar rebound on Friday stabilized the weekly picture.
