Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs both printed net inflows on May 4, a same-day flip that briefly put the two largest crypto ETF complexes back into expansion mode. Bitcoin ETFs absorbed 7,524 BTC worth roughly $603.14 million on the day, extending a seven-day streak that has now pulled in 1,487 BTC (about $119.21 million) on a net basis.
Why it matters
Ethereum ETFs added 41,739 ETH ($98.92 million) in a single session, snapping back from a seven-day window that has bled 57,584 ETH ($136.47 million) since April 28. The one-day print is the headline; the week tells the more cautious read — capital is rotating back in, but it has not yet fully repaired the prior outflow window.
Market impact
Solana ETFs remain the laggard. May 4 saw 11,767 SOL ($1 million) leave the complex, deepening a seven-day outflow of 22,498 SOL ($1.91 million). The contrast with BTC and ETH is the read worth flagging: spot appetite is concentrated in the majors, and even a strong green-day print for ETH has not yet dragged the weekly tape into positive territory.

Why does the one-day print matter less than the seven-day window?
Single-day inflows can reverse quickly, while a sustained seven-day pattern is a stronger signal of structural demand. On May 4, BTC and ETH both flipped green, but only BTC's weekly window is positive.
-
What does this mix of flows signal for the broader crypto market?
Capital is rotating back into spot BTC and ETH products but staying concentrated in the majors. Solana's continued weekly outflows suggest institutional appetite has not broadened beyond the top two.
