Investment products within the cryptocurrency sector garnered inflows of $117.8 million last week, marking five consecutive weeks of gains. However, this positive trend was nearly derailed earlier in the week when these products suffered losses amounting to $619 million over the first four trading days. A dramatic turnaround occurred on Friday, with a single-day influx of $737 million—recorded as one of 2026’s largest daily inflows according to CoinShares’ weekly fund flows report.
Despite this volatile activity, total assets under management remained virtually unchanged at approximately $155 billion, and the week’s net gain was the smallest during the five-week winning streak. Participation also dwindled significantly; only four assets saw inflows compared to nine in the previous week. This indicates a notable narrowing of investor confidence until Friday’s recovery.
Bitcoin led the rebound efforts, attracting $192.1 million and raising its year-to-date total to $4.2 billion. However, this figure lagged behind an average of nearly $1 billion over the prior three weeks—a considerable slowdown.
Encouragingly, optimism has persisted into this week as well, with Farside Investors reporting over $532 million funneled into Bitcoin ETFs on Monday, following a substantial Friday influx nearing $630 million.
In contrast, Ethereum faced outflows of $81.6 million, breaking a three-week streak of inflows exceeding $190 million. Solana also experienced outflows amounting to $11.1 million, while XRP saw limited investment with just $3 million over the week.
Regionally, the United States’ inflow dominance from the previous week at $1.1 billion dwindled dramatically to a mere $47.5 million amid mid-week risk aversion. Germany emerged as the standout region, recording $43.8 million in inflows, while Canada contributed $16 million, indicating stronger European resilience during this challenging period.
Among fund providers, BlackRock’s iShares topped with $131 million for the week, whereas Grayscale experienced a withdrawal of $72 million.
Bitcoin prices climbed into the week, surpassing $80,000 on Monday for the first time since January and later advancing beyond $81,000 early Tuesday. Despite this recovery from lows around $60,000 earlier in the year, Bitcoin remains approximately 35% below its peak price above $126,000 set last October.
