Crypto Fund Inflows Reach $1.4B in Second-Strongest Week

TLDR

• Crypto investment products recorded $1.4 billion in inflows, marking the second-strongest week since January.
• Bitcoin funds led with $1.12 billion in inflows, driven largely by US spot Bitcoin ETFs.
• Ether products added $328 million, pushing year-to-date flows into positive territory.
• Total crypto fund inflows reached $3.8 billion year to date, with assets under management at $154.8 billion.
• The United States accounted for $1.5 billion in weekly inflows, while Switzerland posted $138 million in outflows.

Crypto investment products attracted $1.4 billion in fresh capital last week, according to CoinShares. The total marked the second-highest weekly intake since January and extended a three-week run. Stronger risk appetite and a Bitcoin price surge supported investor demand across major exchange-traded products.

Bitcoin and Ether Drive Crypto Fund Inflows Higher

Bitcoin investment products led the weekly gains with $1.12 billion in inflows, CoinShares reported. U.S.-listed Bitcoin ETFs accounted for about $1 billion of that total, reflecting concentrated demand. The latest intake lifted Bitcoin year-to-date inflows to $3 billion, while assets under management reached $123 billion.

Ether products followed with $328 million in inflows, recording their strongest week since January. Those gains pushed Ether exchange-traded products into positive territory for the year with $197 million in net inflows. In contrast, XRP products posted $56 million in outflows, while Solana products saw $2.3 million leave funds.

Short-Bitcoin products attracted $1.4 million in inflows during the same period. The flows indicated limited hedging activity despite rising prices. Overall, total crypto fund inflows reached $2.7 billion over the past three weeks.

CoinShares reported that year-to-date inflows across crypto products now stand at $3.8 billion. Assets under management climbed to $154.8 billion, the highest level since early February. AUM had previously fallen to $128 billion in March before rebounding.

Regional Flows and Macro Data Shape Market Tone

The United States recorded $1.5 billion in inflows, leading all regions by a wide margin. Germany followed with $28 million in new investments during the week. Switzerland registered the largest redemptions, with $138 million exiting local products.

CoinShares head of research James Butterfill linked the inflows to geopolitical developments. He said the recovery in risk appetite followed progress in US-Iran ceasefire extension talks. He added that Bitcoin nearly touched $78,000 on Friday, reinforcing investor sentiment.

Butterfill addressed recent inflation data and market reaction. He said, “March’s Consumer Price Index increase of 3.3% appears to have been largely looked through by markets.” He added that core CPI at 2.6% suggested inflation pressures remained supply-driven rather than broad-based.

Nomura’s Laser Digital echoed that assessment in comments to Cointelegraph. The firm said, “Delayed indicators like CPI and PMIs mostly reflect past conditions rather than the current situation.” Laser Digital described the near-term outlook as “cautiously optimistic.”

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index also reflected improved sentiment during the week. The index moved from “extreme fear” to “fear,” with the score rising above 29 on Monday. That level marked the first reading above 29 since Jan. 29.
