Spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled in $46.33 million in net inflows on May 6, the fifth consecutive day of net positive flows, while spot Ethereum ETFs added $11.57 million for their fourth straight session in the green.
Why it matters
The streak matters more than the daily print. Five straight days of net inflows for spot BTC products and four for spot ETH products, with no reversal day breaking the run, is the kind of cadence that turns a tactical bid into something the buy-side reads as structural allocation rather than short-term flow chasing. Even on a quiet day, consistency is the signal.
Market impact
Daily totals remain modest in dollar terms, particularly for the ETH complex, which is still working through its first full year of spot products trading. Watch for the next outflow day to test the conviction behind the streak — a clean reversal after a multi-day run is the more common pattern, so a sixth straight BTC session and a fifth for ETH would extend the structural read further. Per-product attribution across the eleven spot BTC issuers and nine spot ETH issuers will be the next cut that matters.
