U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs extend inflow streak as BlackRock and Fidelity lead gains
ETF inflows surge again

Fresh investor demand keeps building in the U.S. spot bitcoin ETF market as the funds post a third straight trading day of net inflows. Monday's gains total $532.2 million, with BlackRock and Fidelity contributing the vast majority as bitcoin moves back above $80,000.

Highlights

  • U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs report $532.2 million in net inflows on May 4, following $629.7 million on May 1 and $14.8 million on April 30.
  • BlackRock's IBIT records $335.5 million and Fidelity's FBTC $184.6 million in net inflows on May 4, while 10 of 13 funds register zero flows.
  • Cumulative net inflows into 13 U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs reach $59.3 billion, with total net assets at $106.4 billion as bitcoin exceeds $80,000.

Three-day inflow run gathers pace

As reported by The Block, U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds attract $532.2 million in net inflows on May 4, extending a positive run that also includes $629.7 million on May 1 and $14.8 million on April 30, based on SoSoValue data.

BlackRock's IBIT leads Monday's activity with $335.5 million in net inflows, while Fidelity's FBTC adds $184.6 million. Morgan Stanley's MSBT brings in another $12.2 million, and the remaining 10 of 13 funds post zero flows, with no outflows recorded across the group.

Over the last three trading days, the funds add a combined $1.18 billion in new capital, showing concentrated demand in a small number of products even as the broader ETF lineup remains mostly inactive.

Bitcoin recovery supports fund demand

Market participation strengthens as bitcoin rises back above $80,000 early Monday, a move technical analysts describe as a break above a key psychological resistance zone.

As of Monday, cumulative net inflows into the 13 U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs stand at $59.3 billion. Total net assets across the funds reach $106.4 billion, equal to 6.7% of bitcoin's overall market capitalization.

Our earlier article on the crypto-stock rally explained how bitcoin’s push above $80,000 and improving prospects for U.S. digital asset legislation boosted sentiment across the sector. We noted that gains were concentrated in companies expected to benefit from clearer rules around stablecoins and broader crypto market regulation, with Circle and Coinbase among the leading movers.
