crypto investment products continued to gain momentum last week, recording the largest weekly inflows of 2026 so far and marking growth not seen since October.
European crypto asset manager CoinShares reported that crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) attracted $2.17 billion in investor inflows over the past week. Much of the inflows occurred early in the week, reflecting strong positive sentiment among crypto investors.
However, Friday saw a shift as $378 million exited the market amid geopolitical tensions in Greenland and renewed tariff concerns. James Butterfill, CoinShares’ head of research, explained that market sentiment was also influenced by developments in US monetary policy.
“Investor sentiment was also affected by suggestions that Kevin Hassett, a leading candidate for the next US Federal Reserve Chair and known for his dovish policy approach, is likely to remain in his current position,” Butterfill added.
Bitcoin Dominates Investor Interest
The majority of last week’s crypto inflows were concentrated in Bitcoin, which received $1.55 billion, representing over 71% of total weekly gains. Ether funds followed, drawing $496 million, while XRP and Solana captured roughly $70 million and $46 million, respectively.
Smaller altcoins such as Sui and Hedera attracted $5.7 million and $2.6 million, highlighting that while investor attention is concentrated on major tokens, smaller digital assets still see steady participation.
Interestingly, Ether and Solana maintained strong inflows despite regulatory concerns, including the US Senate Banking Committee’s CLARITY Act proposals, which could limit certain stablecoin yield offerings. Meanwhile, multi-asset and short Bitcoin products were the only categories to report monthly outflows, totaling $32 million and $8.6 million, respectively.
Leading Issuers See Significant Gains
Among issuers, BlackRock’s iShares ETFs led the pack with $1.3 billion in inflows. Grayscale Investments and Fidelity Investments followed with $257 million and $229 million, respectively.
Geographically, the US accounted for $2 billion of last week’s inflows, while smaller outflows occurred in Sweden and Brazil, at $4.3 million and $1 million, respectively.
The total assets under management in crypto funds surpassed $193 billion for the first time since early November, underscoring growing institutional and retail investor interest.
As crypto investment products continue attracting significant capital, they are increasingly becoming part of broader financial activity alongside other online investment options.
Just as online casinos attract attention for entertainment and potential earnings, crypto funds now serve as a key tool for investors looking to diversify portfolios and capture returns in the rapidly evolving digital asset landscape.
With major gains concentrated in Bitcoin and Ether, the market continues to show that crypto remains a central focus for both seasoned and new investors, even amid regulatory and geopolitical uncertainties.
