Crypto exchange-traded products posted $1.4 billion in weekly inflows, topping last week's $996M and marking the strongest three-week stretch since January. Total AUM rebounded to $154.8B — the highest since early February. Ether funds flipped year-to-date positive for the first time in 2026.
Crypto exchange-traded products posted $1.4 billion in weekly inflows, topping last week's $996M and marking the strongest three-week stretch since January. Total AUM rebounded to $154.8B — the highest since early February. Ether funds flipped year-to-date positive for the first time in 2026.
Crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) attracted $1.4 billion in net inflows last week, according to CoinShares' Monday report, beating the prior week's $996M by 40.9% and capping a three-week inflow streak totaling $2.7 billion.
Bitcoin-led products accounted for $1.12 billion of the weekly total, with US spot Bitcoin ETFs contributing approximately $1 billion of that. The flows pushed crypto ETP assets under management to $154.8 billion — the highest level since early February after dipping to $128 billion in March.
Ether investment products had their strongest week since January with $328 million in inflows, finally lifting YTD flows into positive territory at $197 million cumulative.
This week's $1.4B builds on a clear acceleration:
Each week has grown 27-41% over the prior one. The three-week $2.7B cumulative is the strongest sustained inflow run since early January.
The AUM recovery is striking. Crypto ETP assets fell from $170B+ in late 2025 to $128B in March — a 25% drawdown during Bitcoin's slide from $97K to $65K. They've now recovered to $154.8B, a 21% rebound from the March low, even though Bitcoin is still 40% below its ATH.
Ether's YTD flip to positive is a milestone. After months of outflows and negative sentiment around ETH, $328M in a single week pushed cumulative 2026 flows above zero. This coincides with ETH trading back above $2,300.
Regional data shows US dominance ($1.5B of inflows) while Switzerland saw the largest outflows ($138M). The US concentration reflects the spot ETF channel driving virtually all institutional flows.
CoinShares' James Butterfill attributed the sentiment shift to US-Iran ceasefire extension talks, though the ceasefire has since come under pressure. Nomura's Laser Digital cautioned that backward-looking macro indicators offer limited insight while geopolitical conflicts persist.
US spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $996M in weekly net inflows, the most since early January, powered by a $663.9M Friday surge as geopolitical de-escalation triggered a risk-on wave. Total ETF AUM crossed $101B for the first time. BlackRock IBIT alone added $269.3M Thursday — its best day in a month. The flows pushed YTD net inflows back within $80M of positive territory after months of outflows.
Charles Schwab announced Schwab Crypto, offering direct spot BTC and ETH trading to retail clients via linked accounts with Paxos execution and 0.75% fees. With $12.2T in client assets and 39 million accounts, it's the largest traditional brokerage to offer direct crypto trading. The move caps a historic week that included Morgan Stanley's MSBT ETF launch and Goldman Sachs's Bitcoin income ETF filing.
MSBT has attracted over $103M in net inflows within its first week, surpassing WisdomTree WBTC ($86M accumulated since January 2024) and marking Morgan Stanley's most successful ETF launch ever. The 0.14% fee fund now has six consecutive days of inflows, while Goldman Sachs filed for a competing Bitcoin income ETF and BlackRock is preparing its own income-focused product.
