Bitcoin Leads $1.06B Crypto Fund Inflows as US Dominates Activity

Bitcoin-based products attracted $793 million and captured about 75% of weekly allocations. CoinShares reported that US funds generated roughly 96% of total inflows. Canada added $19.4 million, while Switzerland contributed $10.4 million.

Hong Kong recorded $23.1 million, its largest weekly total since August 2025. In contrast, Germany posted $17.1 million in outflows, marking its first weekly decline this year. The latest figures pushed the three-week total to $2.2 billion, narrowing the gap from the prior $3 billion withdrawal period.

Total exchange-traded product assets climbed 9.4% to $140 billion since late February. James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, said the flows reflect changing investor behavior. He stated, “Investors have increasingly viewed bitcoin as a relative haven during periods of market stress.”

Short-bitcoin products still attracted $8.1 million in inflows. This movement showed that some investors continued to hedge against potential downside. However, long bitcoin funds maintained clear dominance in weekly allocations.

Ethereum Gains on ETHB Launch While XRP Extends Outflows

Ethereum-focused funds drew $315 million in inflows during the same week. CoinShares linked part of the demand to new listings of US staking exchange-traded funds. BlackRock launched the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHB) on March 12.

The ETHB product allows investors to earn staking rewards while tracking spot Ethereum prices. As a result, year-to-date Ethereum flows returned close to neutral territory. Earlier in 2026, Ethereum funds had recorded heavy outflows.

Separate US spot ETF data reflected continued demand for major tokens. Between March 9 and March 13, spot bitcoin ETFs logged $767 million in net inflows. Over the same period, spot Ethereum ETFs added $161 million.

Spot Solana funds attracted $10.7 million during that window. In contrast, spot XRP ETFs recorded $28.1 million in net outflows. On a broader basis, XRP investment products posted $76 million in outflows for the second consecutive week.

The weekly report confirmed that digital asset products pulled $1.06 billion overall. The sustained three-week run brought cumulative inflows to $2.2 billion. CoinShares released the data as total managed crypto assets reached $140 billion.
