Crypto Funds Attract $1.4 Billion in Weekly Inflows — Best Since January

Cryptocurrency investment products recorded $1.4 billion in net inflows during the week of April 13–17, according to CoinShares. The figure marks the strongest weekly performance since January and extends the positive streak to three consecutive weeks.

Why It Matters

Three straight weeks of capital inflows point to a renewed institutional appetite for digital assets after a turbulent period. Total assets under management across crypto funds climbed to $155 billion, underscoring the growing footprint of digital assets in professional portfolios.

Bitcoin's rally to $78,000 served as the primary growth driver. Investor sentiment improved amid reports of international trade negotiations. U.S. inflation data for March came in at 3.3%, but the market largely shrugged off the headline number, focusing instead on the core index reading of 2.6%.

Bitcoin Dominates Capital Flows

The leading cryptocurrency absorbed $1.116 billion of the total weekly inflows. Year-to-date allocations into Bitcoin products have now reached $3.1 billion. The breakout above $76,000 represented a key technical signal following two months of consolidation.

Short-bitcoin instruments attracted a mere $1.4 million, indicating that the market is firmly positioned for continued upside.

Ethereum Surges While Altcoins Struggle

Ethereum posted $328 million in inflows — its best weekly result of 2026. The momentum did not extend to the broader altcoin market, however. Solana-based products experienced outflows of $2.3 million, while XRP funds saw $56 million in withdrawals.

Regional Breakdown: U.S. Leads, Switzerland Bucks the Trend

Geographically, the United States dominated with $1.5 billion in inflows. Germany contributed a positive $28 million.

Switzerland stood out as the notable outlier, recording $138 million in outflows — the largest exodus from Swiss crypto funds since November of last year.

For context, the previous week (April 6–10) saw $1.1 billion in inflows, which at the time was the strongest weekly figure since January. The latest data surpasses that mark by roughly 30%.
