Crypto Funds Record $1.06 Billion in Weekly Inflows — Third Consecutive Positive Week
Crypto investment products attracted $1.06 billion between March 9-13, with total assets under management rising 9.4% to $140 billion according to CoinShares data.
Cryptocurrency investment products recorded $1.06 billion in net inflows during the week of March 9–13, according to CoinShares analysts. This marks the third consecutive week of positive capital flows into digital asset funds.
Why It Matters
Three straight weeks of sustained inflows reflect continued institutional appetite for digital assets despite broader market uncertainty. Total assets under management grew 9.4% to reach $140 billion. CoinShares analysts noted that investors continue to view digital assets — particularly Bitcoin — as a hedge amid market volatility.
For context, the previous week (March 2–6) saw inflows of $619 million, meaning the latest figure represents a more than 70% increase week-over-week.
Regional Breakdown: U.S. Dominates
American investors accounted for 96% of total inflows. Other notable contributors included:
- Hong Kong — $23.1 million
- Canada — $19.4 million
- Switzerland — $10.4 million
Germany stood out as the only major market to register net outflows. For the first time in 2026, German investors pulled $17.1 million from crypto products in a single week.
Bitcoin Leads With $793 Million
Bitcoin-based products captured the lion's share of capital, attracting $793 million. Over the past three weeks, cumulative BTC inflows have reached $2.2 billion, partially offsetting a preceding five-week outflow period that totaled $3 billion.
Short Bitcoin products also drew interest, collecting $8.1 million during the same period.
Ethereum Gains $315 Million as BlackRock Staking ETF Launches
Ethereum-focused investment products pulled in $315 million. A key development during the week was the March 12 launch of BlackRock's iShares Staked Ethereum Trust (ticker: ETHB) on the Nasdaq exchange. The yield-generating ETF has already accumulated $45.65 million since trading began.
XRP Funds Face Continued Outflows
In contrast to Bitcoin and Ethereum, XRP-based investment products experienced their second consecutive week of net outflows, with $76 million exiting these funds. The persistent negative trend suggests waning institutional demand for the asset in the near term.
