Digital asset investment products captured $1.1 billion in fresh capital last week, marking a significant uptick in regulated crypto vehicles. [[LINK_START_0]]Bitcoin[[LINK_END_0]] commanded the weekly gains with $871 million in inflows, while Ether secured $196.5 million. According to CoinShares, weaker US economic data combined with easing tensions around Iran fueled investor interest.
Bitcoin Commands Weekly Crypto Fund Activity with Strong Momentum
The weekly figure represents the second-highest inflow period for 2026. Mid-January still holds the record with $2.17 billion in total inflows.
Trading activity climbed to $21 billion following a 13% weekly jump. Total assets under management returned to levels previously observed in early February.
James Butterfill, CoinShares head of research, attributed the capital influx to improved risk appetite among investors. He pointed to declining US inflation readings, softer consumer spending figures, and preliminary ceasefire developments related to Iran.
Products domiciled in the United States captured $1.06 billion in new investments. This figure represented roughly 95% of the global weekly total.
Bitcoin exchange-traded funds listed in the U.S. contributed $786.3 million to the weekly Bitcoin figure. Germany secured second place with $34.6 million, while Canada and Switzerland recorded modest increases.
The Netherlands brought in $2 million, and Brazil added $1.2 million to the tally. Sweden and Australia, however, experienced weekly withdrawals of $0.7 million and $0.6 million respectively.
Bitcoin’s year-to-date inflows climbed to nearly $1.9 billion. This amount accounts for roughly 83% of the $2.3 billion total recorded across all products in 2026.
Ether Returns to Positive Territory as Bitcoin Faces Technical Barriers
Short-Bitcoin investment vehicles captured $20.2 million throughout the week. Butterfill noted this marked the largest weekly inflow for short products since November 2024.
Bitcoin prices exceeded $70,000 and temporarily pushed above $73,000 during the reporting period. Subsequently, QCP Capital highlighted ongoing resistance near $74,000 following renewed complications in US-Iran diplomatic efforts.
Ether broke a three-week outflow streak by attracting $196.5 million in new capital. Despite this reversal, Ether maintains a $130 million net outflow position for the current year.
XRP products gathered $19.3 million in fresh investments, while Chainlink secured $1.3 million. Multi-asset investment vehicles also recorded $3 million in weekly gains.
Solana experienced $2.5 million in withdrawals during the identical timeframe. Sui recorded $2.4 million in outflows, and Litecoin shed $0.4 million.
Bitunix analysts highlighted the $72,600 to $74,100 range as critical overhead resistance. They suggested continued rejection at these levels remains possible without additional capital entering the ecosystem.
The research team also established near-term support around $70,000, with a secondary floor at $68,000. QCP noted that implied volatility metrics and risk reversals had substantially diminished.
QCP observed that Bitcoin weathered geopolitical disruptions and liquidation pressures throughout the week. Crude oil prices climbed after US-Iran negotiations collapsed late in the period, triggering renewed caution across broader financial markets.
