Crypto investment products continued gathering steam last week, with fund inflows outpacing every other week in 2026 so far and marking the largest gains since October.
Crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) drew $2.17 billion of inflows last week, European crypto asset manager CoinShares reported on Monday.
The bulk of inflows came earlier in the week, but Friday saw sentiment shift as $378 million in outflows amid Greenland geopolitical escalation and fresh tariff worries, CoinShares’ head of research, James Butterfill, said.
“Sentiment was also weighed down by suggestions that Kevin Hassett, a leading contender for the next US Fed Chair and a well-known policy dove, is likely to remain in his current role,” the analyst added.
Bitcoin leads gains with $1.6 billion of inflows
Most of last week’s crypto fund gains were concentrated in Bitcoin (BTC), which attracted $1.55 billion of inflows, or more than 71% of the total weekly haul.
Ether (ETH) funds drew $496 million in inflows, while XRP (XRP) and Solana (SOL) funds followed, pulling in roughly $70 million and $46 million, respectively. Smaller altcoins such as Sui (SUI) and Hedera (HBAR) recorded inflows of $5.7 million and $2.6 million.
