Digital Asset Inflows Hit $1.2B, Bitcoin Leads With $933M

Digital asset investment products saw inflows of $1.2 billion last week, marking the fourth consecutive week of positive flows, according to the latest report from CoinShares. Bitcoin (BTC) led the charge, accounting for $933 million of the total, as the cryptocurrency surged past $76,000 for the first time since February.

Total assets under management (AuM) in digital investment products rose to $155 billion, the highest level since February 1, but still shy of the October 2025 peak of $263 billion. Institutional demand appears to be driving the surge, as investors position ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decision this week, scheduled for April 28–29.

Regional Trends and Market Leaders

The U.S. dominated inflows by region, contributing $1.1 billion, while Germany saw a sharp increase to $61.7 million, more than double the prior week's figure. Switzerland, which had recorded a significant $138 million in outflows the previous week, rebounded with $35.2 million in inflows. Canada also reported $15 million in inflows, indicating broader participation across major markets.

Ethereum (ETH) also performed strongly, attracting $192 million in inflows, marking the third consecutive week above $190 million. XRP returned to net inflows after experiencing outflows the previous week, signaling renewed interest in altcoins.

Blockchain Equities See Record Demand

One standout trend was the explosion in demand for blockchain equity ETFs, which saw $617 million in inflows over the past three weeks, including record weekly inflows during this period. These products are increasingly viewed as a way for investors to gain exposure to blockchain technology without directly holding digital assets.

Meanwhile, short-Bitcoin products attracted $16.5 million in inflows, consistent with the prior month’s average, reflecting steady but not heightened demand for bearish bets amid Bitcoin’s rally.

Looking Ahead

With Bitcoin trading at its highest levels in months and Ethereum maintaining strong inflows, investor sentiment appears to be improving. However, the upcoming FOMC meeting could introduce volatility, as markets await clarity on U.S. monetary policy. For now, the sustained inflows and record interest in blockchain equities suggest that institutional appetite for digital assets remains robust.
