[[LINK_START_0]]Bitcoin[[LINK_END_0]] commanded the largest share with $871 million in net inflows, while Ethereum secured $196.5 million. According to CoinShares, the momentum stemmed from softer American economic indicators and reduced geopolitical tensions with Iran.
Bitcoin Commands Weekly Investment Activity Across Global Funds
The $1.1 billion figure represents the second-strongest inflow week recorded in 2026. The only higher performance came during mid-January when products absorbed $2.17 billion.
Trading activity climbed to $21 billion following a 13% weekly expansion. Total assets under management returned to levels previously observed in early February.
CoinShares head of research James Butterfill attributed the capital influx to improving risk sentiment. He pointed to declining US inflation metrics, weaker consumer spending figures, and preliminary ceasefire discussions involving Iran.
American-based products dominated the weekly landscape with $1.06 billion in inflows. This figure represented roughly 95% of worldwide weekly investment activity.
Exchange-traded funds tracking Bitcoin in the United States contributed $786.3 million to the weekly Bitcoin figure. Germany secured second place with $34.6 million, while Canadian and Swiss products posted modest gains.
The Netherlands recorded $2 million in additions, and Brazilian products brought in $1.2 million. Conversely, Swedish and Australian products experienced weekly withdrawals of $0.7 million and $0.6 million respectively.
