The print extends a streak that began on May 1 with <strong>$629.73 million<\/strong> and added another <strong>$532.21 million<\/strong> on May 4, bringing total net assets across the eleven U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs to roughly <strong>$108.98 billion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cumulative net inflows since the January 2024 launch now stand at approximately <strong>$58.72 billion<\/strong>, <em>per Farside Investors<\/em>, though the category remains below its October 2025 peak of <strong>$61.19 billion<\/strong>. Two consecutive months of net inflows have not yet erased the <strong>$6.38 billion<\/strong> in outflows recorded between November 2025 and February 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas described the recent inflow pace as unusually strong given that IBIT remains in negative territory year-to-date. Analysts at the same desk noted a visible rotation from gold into Bitcoin as the dominant driver, with institutional desks reportedly rebalancing exposure ahead of the May 30 options expiry. Approximately <strong>33,000\u201335,000 BTC<\/strong> has been absorbed into ETF custody over the past three weeks, tightening freely tradable supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next test for the streak is whether IBIT continues posting positive daily flows through month-end. A single $300M+ outflow day would likely break the pattern and put the <strong>$78,000\u2013$80,000<\/strong> support zone back in play. If inflows hold, May is on track to become the second consecutive net-positive month for the category \u2014 confirming the recovery narrative that began in April.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $467.35 million in net inflows on May 5, marking the third consecutive strong<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":163,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-351","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-eft"],"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/351","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=351"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/351\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":352,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/351\/revisions\/352"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/163"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=351"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=351"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=351"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
