Spot Bitcoin ETFs logged a combined $277 million net outflow on May 7, ending a five-day streak of net inflows. Spot Ethereum ETFs shed another $104 million on the same day, with none of the ten ETH products recording a net inflow.
Why it matters
The Bitcoin reversal breaks the first sustained inflow run since the spot ETFs launched, and the Ethereum print is a clean sweep — every product in the cohort bled. A coordinated outflow day across both wrappers is the kind of signal that resets the institutional flow narrative more than a single-asset drawdown would.
Market impact
The $381M combined outflow marks the sharpest joint reversal in the post-launch window. Watch the next session for whether the bid returns — a single red day after a five-day inflow streak is a pause, but a second consecutive outflow turns it into a trend.
