Digital asset investment products completed their third consecutive week of positive growth, seeing strong capital inflows last week. According to the latest report published by CoinShares, a total of $1.06 billion inflows were recorded into crypto investment products on a weekly basis. This shows that investors are increasingly viewing Bitcoin as a relatively safe haven, especially during a period of heightened geopolitical tensions.
With the inflows in recent weeks, the total value of assets managed in global crypto ETPs (exchange-traded products) has also increased significantly. Despite the increased uncertainty in the markets following the Iran crisis, the total size of digital asset funds increased by 9.4 percent, reaching approximately $140 billion. This development is considered an important indicator of continued institutional investor demand.
Looking at the regional distribution, the majority of capital inflows originated from the US. Approximately 96 percent of the total weekly inflows came from US-based investment products. The US was followed, to a lesser extent, by Canada and Switzerland. Inflows of $19.4 million were recorded in Canada and $10.4 million in Switzerland. Hong Kong was also among the regions that stood out. Hong Kong-based crypto investment products experienced their strongest week since August 2025, with inflows of $23.1 million.
The picture is more mixed in Europe. In Germany, crypto investment products closed the week with outflows of $17.1 million. This figure marks the country's first weekly outflow of the year.
What about Bitcoin and altcoins?
An examination of asset-based distribution shows that Bitcoin is clearly leading in investor demand. Bitcoin-based investment products attracted inflows of $793 million last week. This figure corresponds to approximately 75 percent of total weekly inflows. Thus, Bitcoin funds have recorded a total inflow of $2.2 billion in the last three weeks. This performance has compensated for a significant portion of the approximately $3 billion in outflows seen in the previous five-week period.
On the other hand, it is noteworthy that there is no one-sided expectation across the market. Short Bitcoin products, which take positions against possible declines in the Bitcoin price, also saw inflows of $8.1 million. This shows that some investors are still maintaining their hedging strategies. Ethereum was also one of the standout assets of the week. Ethereum-based investment products saw inflows of $315 million. This strong demand is attributed to the impact of new staking ETFs launched in the US. With these inflows, the total flow into Ethereum investment products since the beginning of the year has approached a near-neutral level. On the other hand, a different picture emerged for XRP. XRP-based investment products experienced outflows for the second week in a row, recording a weekly outflow of $76 million. Looking at institutional asset managers, iShares products showed by far the strongest performance of the week. iShares funds topped the list with a weekly inflow of $790 million. Fidelity came in second with $247 million inflows, while Bitwise funds attracted $25 million in inflows.
