TLDR

- Ethereum posted $196.5 million in inflows, but it remains in net outflows for the year.

- Short-Bitcoin products attracted $20.2 million, their largest weekly inflow since November 2024.
Bitcoin leads US$1.1bn crypto fund inflows as Ethereum posts rebound. Risk appetite returned to crypto funds last week, and Bitcoin led the move. Digital asset investment products drew US$1.1 billion in fresh inflows. Ethereum also recovered, while short-Bitcoin products recorded their largest inflow since November 2024.
The weekly total was the strongest since early January. CoinShares linked the move to softer US inflation data and lower spending figures. The report also pointed to easing geopolitical tensions after ceasefire developments involving Iran. Trading activity improved, but volumes still stayed below the year average.
US market dominates weekly crypto fund inflows
The United States accounted for nearly all of the weekly inflows. US-listed products brought in US$1.06 billion, or 95% of the total. That made the rebound largely a US-driven event.
Germany posted the next largest gain with US$34.6 million in inflows. Canada added US$7.8 million, and Switzerland drew US$6.9 million. Other regions showed limited activity during the week.
CoinShares said total assets under management also improved. They returned to levels last seen in early February. Trading volumes rose 13% from the prior week, but they reached only US$21 billion. That remained below the year-to-date weekly average of US$31 billion.
Bitcoin leads while short products also gain
Bitcoin attracted US$871 million in weekly inflows and led all digital assets. That lifted its year-to-date inflows to just under US$2 billion. The asset remained the main focus for institutional investors.
At the same time, short Bitcoin products also saw fresh demand. They recorded US$20.2 million in inflows during the week. CoinShares described that as “the largest weekly inflows seen since November 2024.”
The split between strong spot demand and rising short exposure drew attention. Some market participants may be using short products to hedge existing Bitcoin positions. That would suggest risk control, rather than a broad bearish shift. The data still showed that net interest stayed centered on Bitcoin.
Ethereum rebounds as altcoin activity stays mixed
Ethereum posted US$196.5 million in inflows during the week. That marked one of the strongest recoveries in recent months. Even so, Ethereum remains one of the few major assets still in net outflows this year.
XRP also recorded positive flows, with US$19.3 million entering investment products. Other altcoins showed little movement during the week. Solana moved the other way and posted minor outflows of US$2.5 million.
The latest data showed a market that favored large assets. Bitcoin captured most of the new money, and Ethereum followed with a smaller rebound. Regional demand also stayed narrow, with the United States driving nearly all activity. For now, fund flow trends suggest that investors are adding exposure carefully, while keeping some hedges in place.
