Institutional Inflows Into Bitcoin and Crypto ETFs Soar to $1,060,000,000 in One Week: CoinShares
Investments continue to pour into crypto exchange-traded products amid the war in the Middle East, according to the digital asset manager Coinshares.
Inflows of digital asset investment products hit $1.06 billion last week, marking the third consecutive week of inflows.
Coinshares says the amount of funds that go to crypto products during a disruptive geopolitical event reinforces digital assets, particularly Bitcoin (BTC), as a relative safe haven compared with other asset classes.
Since the crisis in Iran started, the total assets under management (AUM) in digital asset exchange-traded products grew by $140 billion, representing an increase of 9.4%.
Investors allocated $793 million for Bitcoin, which accounts for 75% of the inflows. They also funneled $315 million to Ethereum (ETH). XRP saw outflows for the second week in a row, totalling $76 million.
The US is behind $1.02 billion, or 96%, of the inflows, followed by Canada and Switzerland, which saw inflows of $19.4 million and $10.4 million, respectively.
Hong Kong recorded inflows of $23.1 million, the largest since August 2025, while Germany witnessed outflows of $17.1 million, its first weekly outflow in 2026.
The sustained inflows in crypto investment products come as Bitcoin and Ethereum rally. From trading below $66,000 on March 9th, Bitcoin soared to over $76,000. Ethereum also climbed to nearly $2,400 from less than $2,000 last week.
BTC is now trading at $70,696 while ETH is changing hands for $2,173.

From SpaceX to Anthropic, the market has new strategies for dealing with tech giants' IPOs
The market's response strategies to major listings are currently centered around "index inclusion expectations": the new regulations allow mega IPOs to be included in the six major indices within 15 days, triggering concentrated buying by passive funds. Investors are positioning themselves in advance and using options to hedge and amplify buying power. However, Anthropic has a free float of only about 6%; shares available for sale by employees on the first day and privately placed shares with no lock-up period may create supply pressure. On the other hand, index arbitrageurs are facing a rare opportunity.
