Crypto Funds See $224M Weekly Inflows as Bitcoin ETF Hits Highest Daily Intake Since February
Cryptocurrency investment products attracted $224 million from March 30 to April 3, while U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $471 million in daily inflows on April 6 — the largest since February.
Crypto investment products show modest recovery
Cryptocurrency investment products pulled in a combined $224 million between March 30 and April 3, marking what CoinShares described as a "modest" recovery in market sentiment. Total assets under management across crypto funds rose from $129 billion to $131 billion over the period.
Switzerland led the geographic breakdown with $157.5 million in inflows, followed by Germany ($27.7 million), the United States ($27.5 million), and Canada ($11.2 million).
Why it matters
Fund flows serve as a barometer for institutional appetite in digital assets. The return to positive territory after recent weeks of outflows suggests that large investors are cautiously rebuilding positions. However, sentiment remains split — short-crypto products simultaneously attracted $16 million, reflecting persistent uncertainty in the market.
XRP funds dominate inflows while Ethereum lags
XRP-based products captured the largest share of weekly inflows at $119.6 million — the highest level since mid-December 2025. Since January, cumulative inflows into XRP funds have reached $159 million.
Bitcoin instruments attracted $107.3 million, partially offsetting a difficult start to April that saw net outflows of $145 million. Solana funds maintained positive momentum with $34.9 million for the week and $220 million year-to-date.
Ethereum products were the notable underperformer, shedding $52.8 million. According to CoinShares analysts, investors continue to digest negative developments surrounding the CLARITY Act legislation in the United States.
Bitcoin ETFs record $471M daily inflow
On April 6, U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds attracted $471 million in a single trading session — the largest daily inflow since February 25, when they received $507 million.
The surge coincided with Bitcoin briefly recovering to $70,000. The rally proved short-lived, however, as ongoing geopolitical tensions surrounding Iran pushed the price down 2% to $68,000.
BlackRock's IBIT led with $182 million in inflows. Fidelity's FBTC attracted $147 million, while ARK Invest and 21Shares' ARKB received $119 million.
Analytics platform Arkham reported that ETF outflows nearly ceased during the prior week, with major issuers selling only $16.6 million worth of Bitcoin. ARKB was the most active buyer at $34 million.
«ETFs have stopped selling Bitcoin. ETF outflows slowed to a halt last week, as the main issuers — BlackRock, Fidelity, Bitwise, Grayscale — sold only $16.6M BTC. ARK Invest's ARKB ETF purchased the most BTC, at $34.1M in a week. Is Cathie Wood's ETF about to save the market?» — Arkham (@arkham), original post
Ethereum ETFs break three-month losing streak
Spot Ethereum funds also showed signs of life, recording $120 million in daily inflows. This followed three consecutive months of net outflows totaling $770 million.
Activity in other altcoin ETFs remained muted: XRP recorded zero inflows, while Solana attracted just $247,000.
