Crypto products post 5th straight week of inflows despite mid-week selloff

Digital asset investment products recorded $117.8 million in inflows last week, marking a fifth consecutive week of gains after a late-week rebound reversed earlier outflows.

Crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) shed $619 million across Monday through Thursday before a single-session inflow of $737 million on Friday flipped the week to positive, according to a report from CoinShares published Tuesday. Total assets under management held steady at $155 billion.

The Friday figure ranks among the largest single-day inflows of 2026, CoinShares head of research James Butterfill wrote, adding that it reflects “a sharp improvement in risk appetite.”

The five-week run has now totaled $4.02 billion, making it the longest and largest inflow streak of 2026, surpassing the previous best of $2.9 billion, recorded in March.

Bitcoin products drew $192.1 million in inflows, lifting year-to-date flows to $4.2 billion. However, that figure is well below the previous three weeks’ average of nearly $1 billion. Short-Bitcoin products saw modest inflows of $6 million.

Ethereum reversed course with $81.6 million in outflows, snapping a three-week streak of inflows above $190 million. “The narrowing in participation from nine assets to four this week is the clearest signal that sentiment softened through the working week before recovering on Friday,” Butterfill wrote.

Regionally, the United States recorded just $47.5 million in inflows, a sharp drop from $1.1 billion the prior week. Germany led with $43.8 million, while Canada added $16 million.

Bitcoin ETFs pull in $532 million in single day

Separately, US-listed Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded strong inflows at the start of this week. US spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled in $532.21 million on Monday, led by BlackRock's IBIT with $335.49 million and Fidelity's FBTC with $184.57 million. The day extended a three-day winning streak that followed a $490.63 million outflow stretch last week.

The inflows came as Bitcoin crossed back above $80,000 for the first time in more than three months amid improving risk sentiment following the US-Iran ceasefire agreement on April 8.
