MEXC said the latest daily inflow was smaller than earlier sessions, but that the streak still extended to five consecutive trading days as U.S. spot products added about $46.3 million in net inflows on May 6, 2026.

Cryptopolitan tied the same ETF momentum to a broader institutional thesis, saying spot Bitcoin ETFs posted five consecutive days of net inflows totaling nearly $1.7 billion through Wednesday.

Cryptopolitan also said Bitcoin recovered from a roughly $62,000 low in February and was trading near $80,120 during JPMorgan’s analysis period, up 26% over the past three months.

JPMorgan vs Gold

Cryptopolitan reported that JPMorgan analysts said Bitcoin is taking gold’s place in a “debasement trade,” while noting that gold ETFs were still struggling to recover outflows after March’s Iran-conflict.

Cryptopolitan said Strategy’s buying pace could buy roughly $30 billion of Bitcoin in 2026 at its current pace, exceeding the $22 billion it spent in each of the prior two years.

In the same JPMorgan framing, Cryptopolitan said BlackRock’s IBIT led the latest trading session with $134.6 million in inflows, reinforcing the idea that institutional optimism is deepening.

Cryptopolitan contrasted the view by citing Goldman Sachs raising its year-end gold forecast to $5,400 per ounce, while also stating that Bitcoin has experienced declines exceeding 50% at least four times since 2017.

Six-Week Streak in Focus

MEXC Exchange said current momentum places U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs on pace for a sixth consecutive week of net inflows, which would mark the longest run since July 2025.

Cointelegraph reported that Monday and Tuesday pulled in $532.21 million and $467.35 million respectively, before Wednesday’s inflows slowed sharply to $46.33 million ahead of a late-week reversal.

MEXC Exchange said spot Ethereum ETFs posted their fourth straight day of positive flows on Wednesday, with Ethereum funds adding $11.5 million during the session and collecting a combined $271.6 million across four trading days.
