Spot Bitcoin ETFs shed 2,022 BTC ($161.53M) on May 8, snapping a run of positive daily prints, though the seven-day window still shows a net inflow of 18,496 BTC ($1.48B). Spot Ethereum ETFs bled 34,349 ETH ($78.35M) on the day, against a seven-day tally of +73,153 ETH ($166.86M).
Why it matters
Single-day outflows in spot BTC and ETH ETFs are noise against a week that remains net positive across all three asset classes tracked here. The cadence — sharp red days inside otherwise green weekly windows — has been the dominant pattern of the past month, and points to routine rebalancing rather than a coordinated exit.
Market impact
Solana ETFs continue to print clean: +76,912 SOL ($6.85M) on May 8 extends a seven-day run to +368,912 SOL ($32.83M), the third consecutive green week. The asymmetry — Solana inflows holding while BTC and ETH see one-day trims — is consistent with a flow rotation into the higher-beta spot product rather than a broader risk-off move.
