Crypto ETFs experienced net outflows for the first time in approximately three months during the week ending May 2, 2026, indicating investors have altered their short-term sentiments despite Bitcoin trading above $78,000 and a broadly positive market outlook toward U.S. digital asset legislation.
According to CoinGlass data covering the period from April 26 to May 2, 2026, daily flows across all crypto ETFs fluctuated sharply throughout the week. On April 27, there were substantial daily outflows of $313.6 million; later on, some inflows were recorded on May 1, reaching $731 million. On April 28, 29, and 30, the outflows remained $109.30M, $221.81M, and $7.23M, respectively.
This is an exception to the trend that has been seen recently. The month of April saw large positive flows of $1.97 billion in U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs alone and a nine-day positive inflow streak between April 14 and April 24 totalling $2.1 billion, the longest and largest since the category’s $5.33 billion nine-day streak that ended in early October 2025.
The net inflow into U.S.-based spot Bitcoin ETFs amounted to $1.9 billion in April 2026, which was the best performance for the asset class in the current year and its best performance since October 2025.
