Global crypto investment products attracted $1.2 billion in net inflows last week, extending a four-week streak of positive institutional demand. The sustained inflows suggest large investors are maintaining exposure despite macro uncertainty tied to upcoming Federal Reserve decisions.
Data from CoinShares shows the weekly total eased slightly from $1.4 billion the prior week but remained elevated. Bitcoin (BTC) products accounted for $932.5 million of inflows, lifting year-to-date totals to დაახლოებით $4 billion. Total assets under management (AUM) across crypto funds rose to $155.3 billion, the highest level since early February.
Is Institutional Capital Still Concentrated In Bitcoin Products?
The flow distribution highlights continued dominance by Bitcoin-linked investment vehicles. Ethereum (ETH) funds recorded $192.4 million in inflows, marking a third consecutive week above $190 million, while Solana (SOL) products added $31.8 million. Compared with the October 2025 AUM peak of $263 billion, current levels indicate partial recovery rather than full capital return.
Issuer-level data shows inflows concentrated among major U.S.-linked providers. BlackRock’s iShares products led with $952 million, followed by ARK 21Shares at $50 million and Fidelity at $36 million. Grayscale diverged from the trend, posting $50 million in outflows, according to CoinShares data.
James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, linked the trend to improving institutional sentiment.
“This likely reflects improving institutional demand against a backdrop of bitcoin trading at its highest levels since early February,” he said, noting that market participants remain cautious ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee meeting on April 28–29.
Regionally, the United States accounted for $1.088 billion of inflows, reinforcing its role as the primary driver of global demand. Germany and Switzerland also recorded renewed inflows, while Canada posted modest gains. Meanwhile, blockchain equity exchange-traded funds drew $617 million over the past three weeks, indicating rising investor interest beyond direct crypto exposure.
The next catalyst will be the Federal Reserve’s policy decision, which could influence liquidity conditions and determine whether institutional inflows continue at the current pace.
