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.
