Spot Bitcoin ETFs booked $541.96M in net inflows on May 5, the second-strongest single-day print of the cycle. The 7-day stack now stands at +$879.26M across 10,817 $BTC, confirming the daily figure isn't noise — three of the last five sessions cleared $400M.
Why it matters
The flow is concentrated, not broad: the bulk of the 1D and 7D totals traces to a handful of large issuers, and the 7D positive print pulls $BTC further ahead of $ETH on a year-to-date basis. That gap is the structural read the market has been watching since the ETH funds launched — $BTC keeps the institutional bid, $ETH fights for it.
Market impact
Ethereum ETFs printed a rare green day at +$63.23M (26,480 $ETH) but the 7D window is still red at -$9.05M, meaning today's inflow was a one-session snap-back rather than a trend reversal. Solana ETFs continue to find a quiet, persistent bid — +$3.52M in a day, +$2.84M over the week, no red sessions on the 7D tape. With all three books green on the day but only $BTC and $SOL holding weekly gains, the rotation is: stay long BTC, wait on ETH confirmation.
