Digital Asset Investment Funds Attract $1.1B in Strongest Performance Since Early 2025

Digital Asset Investment Funds Attract $1.1B in Strongest Performance Since Early 2025

Digital asset exchange-traded products attracted $1.1 billion during the previous week, with Bitcoin and US-based spot ETFs driving growth amid favorable US inflation figures and geopolitical developments.

Digital currency investment vehicles experienced substantial capital inflows during the previous week, representing their most robust weekly performance since the month of January.

Worldwide cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs) recorded $1.1 billion in fresh capital last week, with Bitcoin (BTC) dominating the surge by attracting $871 million in new investments, according to a Monday report from CoinShares.

These capital inflows represented the second-largest weekly gains recorded in 2026 to date, trailing only behind the $2.17 billion in weekly inflows documented during the middle of January.

James Butterfill, CoinShares' head of research, credited the surge in capital inflows to a recovery in investor willingness to take on risk following preliminary ceasefire progress in Iran, coupled with backing from weaker-than-anticipated US inflation and consumer spending figures.

The capital inflows occurred during a period of fluctuating spot markets, with BTC recovering the $70,000 level and momentarily exceeding $73,000 during the previous week, despite overall market sentiment remaining pessimistic, highlighting continued institutional appetite and strength in regulated investment vehicles.

Ether ETP flows rebound, but year-to-date inflows are still negative

Ether (ETH) ETPs experienced a robust recovery in market sentiment with approximately $196.5 million in fresh capital, marking the first positive flows following three straight weeks of withdrawals.

Notwithstanding the positive developments, Ether continues to be among the few assets maintaining a net withdrawal position for the year-to-date period, at $130 million. By comparison, Bitcoin maintains the highest inflows for the current year at $1.9 billion and represents approximately 83% of the $2.3 billion in aggregate crypto ETP inflows year-to-date.

While Bitcoin ETPs attracted considerable inflows, bearish Bitcoin investors demonstrated activity during the previous week as well, with weekly capital totaling $20 million, representing their highest weekly inflows since November 2024, Butterfill observed.

Looking at other digital assets, XRP (XRP) ETPs attracted inflows of approximately $19 million. Solana (SOL) experienced slight outflows of $2.5 million.

From a geographic perspective, favorable market sentiment was predominantly concentrated within the US, which experienced inflows of $1 billion, representing 95% of total weekly net inflows. The bulk of Bitcoin ETP inflows were propelled by US spot BTC exchange-traded funds, which attracted $786.3 million in fresh capital last week, based on data from SoSoValue.

Germany documented inflows of $34.6 million, whereas Canada and Switzerland experienced more moderate inflows of $7.8 million and $6.9 million, in that order.
