- Cryptocurrency ETPs attracted $1.4 billion in weekly inflows, the second-largest week since January 2026.
- Bitcoin products dominated with $1.12 billion, while Ethereum funds saw a resurgence with $328 million.
- The surge is attributed to geopolitical optimism and Bitcoin’s price nearing $78,000.
Cryptocurrency investment products experienced a major surge in capital last week, with global exchange-traded products (ETPs) pulling in $1.4 billion as investor sentiment improved significantly. CoinShares reported on Monday that this marked the second-largest weekly inflow since January, fueled by ceasefire optimism and a strong Bitcoin Price rally.
Consequently, total assets under management for crypto ETPs have climbed to $154.8 billion, the highest level since early February. CoinShares head of research James Butterfill linked the uptick to a recovery in risk appetite amid US-Iran ceasefire extension talks.
The sentiment was further reinforced as Bitcoin nearly touched $78,000 on Friday, according to CoinGecko.
Bitcoin ETPs led the gains, attracting $1.12 billion, with US spot Bitcoin ETFs contributing the bulk at $1 billion. Conversely, Ether investment products also posted $328 million in inflows, their strongest week since January, finally lifting them into positive territory for the year.
However, altcoin products like XRP and Solana recorded outflows of $56 million and $2.3 million, respectively. Regionally, the US dominated the inflows at $1.5 billion, while Switzerland saw the largest redemptions last week.
Addressing economic data, Butterfill suggested March’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase was largely overlooked by markets. Nomura’s Laser Digital echoed that backward-looking macro indicators offer limited insight while conflicts persist.
Meanwhile, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index improved, moving from “extreme fear” to “fear” as its score rose above 29 for the first time in months, according to data.
