Crypto funds attracted $1.06 billion in inflows last week, extending a three-week streak of institutional capital entering digital asset markets. Bitcoin investment products led the inflows with $793 million, while Ethereum funds recorded $315 million in new capital.
According to a weekly report, this pushed year-to-date inflows for Bitcoin products to approximately $933 million. James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, noted Bitcoin continues to receive capital inflows even as global financial markets become increasingly uncertain.
Total assets under management for crypto funds have increased by roughly 9.4% to approximately $140 billion. This indicates institutional investors are slowly increasing their exposure to digital assets despite macroeconomic volatility.
Ethereum investment products experienced significant inflows last week at $315.3 million. Butterfill cited the introduction of U.S.-staking-focused Ethereum ETFs as one factor contributing to the recent inflows.
Other digital assets experienced mixed performance. Solana saw $9.1 million in inflows last week, while XRP had back-to-back weeks of outflows totaling $76 million.
Much of the Bitcoin inflows can be attributed to U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The BTC ETFs saw $767.3 million in inflows over the course of last week, per SoSoValue data.
This marks the first time in 2026 that spot Bitcoin ETFs have had a consecutive five-day inflow period. Although they are still slightly negative overall for the year, the recent inflows may represent a change in institutional positioning.
