Bitcoin Leads $1.2B Weekly Inflows as Institutional Crypto Demand Strengthens

Digital asset investment products recorded $1.2 billion in inflows last week, marking the fourth consecutive week of positive momentum and highlighting strengthening institutional interest in crypto markets. A total of eight digital assets recorded inflows, compared with six in the previous week, indicating broader participation across the sector.

Total assets under management (AuM) climbed to $155 billion, the highest level since February 1, supported by Bitcoin trading above $76,000 for the first time since the February market correction. However, overall AuM remains below the peak of $263 billion recorded in October 2025, suggesting room for further recovery if bullish momentum continues.

Bitcoin and Ethereum Dominate Weekly Investment Activity

Bitcoin led all inflows with $933 million, bringing year-to-date inflows to approximately $4.0 billion. Meanwhile, short-bitcoin investment products recorded $16.5 million in inflows, reflecting steady but moderate hedging demand among institutional investors.

Ethereum followed with $192 million in inflows, marking its third consecutive week above $190 million, signaling sustained investor confidence in the network’s long-term growth potential. XRP also returned to positive inflows after recording outflows the previous week, suggesting improving sentiment toward alternative digital assets.

Regional Trends and Blockchain ETF Demand Strengthen Market Outlook

Regionally, the United States dominated inflows with $1.1 billion, reinforcing its leadership in institutional crypto investment. Germany recorded $61.7 million, more than double the previous week’s total, while Switzerland reversed prior outflows of $138 million to post $35.2 million in new inflows. Canada also contributed $15 million, indicating broader regional participation across major markets.

Market participants are now closely watching the upcoming Federal Reserve policy decision scheduled for April 28–29, which may influence short-term market sentiment and investment flows.
