Crypto ETPs See $1.1B Weekly Inflows, Bitcoin Leads

Global cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs) attracted about $1.1 billion in net inflows last week, the largest weekly intake since January, CoinShares reported. Bitcoin dominated the gains, accounting for roughly $871 million of the total.

Last week’s intake was the second biggest of 2026 so far, trailing only the $2.17 billion that flowed in during mid-January. CoinShares’ head of research, James Butterfill, attributed the renewed appetite for risk to tentative ceasefire developments in Iran and softer-than-expected US inflation and spending figures.

Price action in spot markets reflected the flows: Bitcoin reclaimed the $70,000 level and briefly surpassed $73,000, a sign that institutions continue to support demand for regulated crypto products even as broader sentiment indicators remain muted.

Ether ETPs returned about $196.5 million in inflows last week, their first net positive week after three consecutive weeks of outflows. Despite that rebound, Ether remains negative year-to-date, with approximately $130 million in net outflows so far this year. By comparison, Bitcoin has attracted around $1.9 billion year-to-date and represents about 83% of the $2.3 billion total crypto ETP inflows this year.

Other notable moves included roughly $20 million going into short-Bitcoin products—their largest weekly inflow since November 2024—about $19 million into XRP ETPs, and roughly $2.5 million of outflows from Solana (SOL) products.

Geographically, the United States led the surge, drawing about $1 billion, or roughly 95% of the week’s net inflows. US spot Bitcoin ETFs made up the bulk of those flows, with SoSoValue reporting about $786.3 million into US spot BTC funds last week. Germany saw approximately $34.6 million in inflows, Canada $7.8 million, and Switzerland $6.9 million.
