Crypto Funds Add $1.4B as Bitcoin Clears Two-Month Range

In brief

• Bitcoin funds led with $1.12 billion in weekly inflows as BTC cleared two-month highs, hitting $77,900 last week amid an improving geopolitical outlook.
• Ethereum products also saw their strongest week since January with $328 million inflows, while XRP and Solana bled $58 million combined.
• Switzerland posted $138 million outflows, a sharp divergence from the U.S.-led risk-on tone.

Crypto investment products posted their strongest weekly inflows since January, adding $1.4 billion as Bitcoin broke out of a two-month trading range amid ceasefire optimism and cooling inflation data.

Digital asset funds saw their third consecutive week of positive flows, with total assets under management reaching $155 billion, according to a CoinShares report published Monday. The weekly inflow represents 0.91% of total AuM, the highest intensity year-to-date.

Bitcoin led the charge among BTC-related products, recording $1.12 billion in inflows, helping year-to-date flows hit $3.1 billion. These inflows coincided with the leading crypto breaking out of its two-month range, hitting $77,900, its highest level since early February, according to CoinGecko data.

Ethereum investment products attracted $328 million, their strongest week since January, bringing year-to-date flows to $197 million. XRP and Solana, however, recorded outflows of $56 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

Regionally, the U.S. dominated with $1.5 billion of inflows, CoinShares analysts noted, with Germany adding $28 million. Switzerland, however, was a notable outlier with $138 million in outflows—the largest Swiss outflow since November 2025, marking a sharp divergence from the broader risk-on tone.

ETFs’ bumper week

Last week, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw inflows of nearly $1 billion, per SoSoValue data, with net inflows of $663.9 million on Friday alone—the highest daily total since mid-January.

“As more wealth management platforms activate Bitcoin ETF access—Morgan Stanley being the latest and Goldman Sachs having filed one week later—a growing share of available supply will be captured by these vehicles,” Dessislava Ianeva, analyst at Nexo, told Decrypt. “That demand does not require a macro catalyst to persist. It is built into the distribution infrastructure now being assembled across Wall Street.”

Ianeva noted that the broadening of inflows beyond Bitcoin ETFs alone is notable. Over twelve trading days in April, Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs attracted simultaneous inflows at a roughly four-to-one ratio: $1.6 billion and $385 million, respectively, a pattern that has historically preceded wider market participation.

What’s driving inflows?

Bitcoin’s ascent and the subsequent flows reflect continued risk appetite recovery driven mostly by U.S.-Iran ceasefire extension talks and improving liquidity, and better-than-expected inflation numbers for March, Decrypt previously reported.

Miners produce roughly 450 BTC per day post-halving, Ianeva noted, while ETFs have been absorbing multiples of that in net daily demand. “As more wealth management platforms activate Bitcoin ETF access, a growing share of available supply will be captured by these vehicles, providing support for prices.”

Despite the rally, experts remain skeptical, underscoring the importance of geopolitical and macro policy headlines, which could sway risk appetite with ease. Moreover, investors rebalancing their portfolios amid U.S. tax season in April could also extend Bitcoin's sideways movement.
