Crypto investment products continued their momentum last week, highlighting resilience to geopolitical stress and reinforcing Bitcoin’s growing role as a relative safe-haven asset.
According to CoinShares, crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) saw $1.06 billion in inflows, led by $793 million into Bitcoin (BTC) at $73,649.
This marks three consecutive weeks of positive flows, totaling $2.7 billion, and brings year-to-date net inflows to roughly $1.2 billion.
James Butterfill, CoinShares’ head of research, said the rising momentum underscores the resilience of digital assets, particularly Bitcoin, as a “relative safe haven” compared with other asset classes. Since the onset of the Iran crisis, total assets under management in digital asset ETPs have climbed 9.4% to nearly $140 billion.
Ethereum ETP Flows Approach Neutral
With last week’s inflows, Bitcoin ETPs’ year-to-date gains rose to $933 million. Meanwhile, Ether (ETH) funds remain slightly negative, with $23 million in YTD outflows despite receiving $315.3 million in inflows last week.
Butterfill noted that the launch of new staking ETF listings in the US contributed to the positive momentum, pushing Ether ETP flows closer to a net-neutral position.
Mixed Flows Across Altcoins and Short-Bitcoin Products
XRP (XRP) experienced its second consecutive week of outflows, totaling $76 million, while Solana (SOL) saw $9.1 million in inflows.
Short-Bitcoin products also attracted $8.1 million last week, indicating that market sentiment remains “somewhat polarized,” according to James Butterfill.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs See First Five-Day Inflow Streak
The bulk of Bitcoin fund inflows came from US spot Bitcoin ETFs, which recorded their first five-day inflow streak of 2026, drawing $767.3 million in new capital last week.
Despite three consecutive weeks of inflows totaling $2.1 billion, these ETFs remain in negative territory year-to-date, with roughly $493 million in net outflows.
This week will reveal whether US spot Bitcoin ETFs can finally turn positive for 2026, after $1.8 billion in outflows in January and February were partially offset by $1.34 billion in inflows in March.
