Crypto investment products attracted $1.06 billion in new capital last week. The inflows extend a three-week positive streak and signal sustained institutional demand despite heightened geopolitical tensions.
Data from CoinShares shows that U.S.-based funds accounted for roughly 96% of the weekly inflows. Canada added $19.4 million and Switzerland recorded $10.4 million, while Hong Kong posted $23.1 million in inflows — its strongest weekly total since August 2025.
Germany was the notable outlier. Crypto investment products in the country logged $17.1 million in outflows, marking the first weekly decline there this year.
Are Institutional Investors Treating Bitcoin As A Safe Haven?
The latest flows bring total inflows over the past three weeks to $2.2 billion. That recovery has partially offset the more than $3 billion withdrawn during a previous five-week period of outflows earlier this year.
Total assets under management across global crypto investment products now stand near $140 billion, according to CoinShares. That figure represents a 9.4% increase since late February, when geopolitical tensions linked to the Iran crisis began influencing broader financial markets.
Bitcoin-focused investment products captured the majority of demand. Funds tied to the cryptocurrency drew $793 million last week, representing roughly three-quarters of total inflows.
Ethereum-based funds also saw renewed interest, adding $315 million. CoinShares attributed part of that demand to new U.S. staking ETF listings, including BlackRock’s iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF.
“Last week’s inflows highlight how investors have increasingly viewed bitcoin as a relative safe haven during periods of market stress,” said James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares.
Separate data tracking U.S. spot crypto exchange-traded funds shows a similar pattern. Between March 9 and March 13, spot bitcoin ETFs recorded $767 million in net inflows, while spot Ethereum funds attracted $161 million.
Positioning elsewhere remains mixed. Short-bitcoin investment products saw $8.1 million in inflows, indicating some investors are hedging against downside risk, while XRP-focused funds posted $76 million in outflows for the second consecutive week.
Institutional flows will remain a key signal for market momentum. Traders will watch whether ETF demand continues in the coming weeks as geopolitical developments and macro conditions influence risk appetite.
