Bitcoin led the trend with $932.5 million in inflows, while Ethereum added $192 million and XRP returned to positive territory. During the same period, Bitcoin rose 3.48% to approximately $74,005 after trading as high as nearly $79,000.

Bitcoin recently strengthened both in market price and institutional demand. According to CoinShares, crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) attracted $1.2 billion in inflows last week, extending a four-week streak that has now brought in roughly $3.9 billion. This is the strongest run of inflows so far this year and suggests investors are steadily increasing exposure to digital assets after a more cautious start to 2026.

The new appetite for crypto investment products came as Bitcoin traded at its highest levels since early February. Over the last seven days, Bitcoin climbed 3.48% to around $74,005.
Price action during the week showed Bitcoin beginning near the mid-$75,000 range before surging above $78,000, with a brief spike close to $79,000. Although the market later pulled back sharply from those highs, Bitcoin managed to stabilize above $74,000 by week’s end.

Bitcoin was the clear leader in last week’s ETP flows after attracting $932.5 million of the total $1.2 billion. Year-to-date inflows into Bitcoin products have now reached $4 billion, due to its continued dominance as the primary institutional gateway into crypto markets. Much of that demand came from US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs, which alone recorded approximately $824 million in weekly inflows.
Ethereum also posted a strong performance, with $192 million in inflows. That was the third consecutive week in which ETH investment products drew more than $190 million, bringing year-to-date totals to $390 million. XRP products also returned to positive territory after outflows the previous week.

Outside of direct crypto funds, blockchain equity ETFs posted a record week of inflows. These products have brought in $617 million over the past three weeks.
Regionally, the United States dominated flows with $1.1 billion, while Germany and Switzerland also posted gains. Even so, some caution remains in the market as investors watch the upcoming Federal Open Market Committee decision. Monetary policy expectations often influence risk assets, and Bitcoin is no exception.
Overall, the combination of rising inflows and resilient price action paints a constructive picture for Bitcoin.
