Investment vehicles focused on digital currencies captured $1.06 billion in new capital during the past week, data from CoinShares reveals. This influx marked the third straight week of positive momentum and pushed aggregate assets under management to $140 billion. The figures demonstrated persistent institutional interest despite geopolitical concerns related to Iran affecting wider financial markets.
Bitcoin Products Capture 75% of Weekly Allocations as US Funds Drive Activity
Bitcoin-based products secured $793 million in new investments, representing approximately three-quarters of the week’s total allocations. According to CoinShares analysis, United States-based funds were responsible for roughly 96% of all inflows. Canadian investment products added $19.4 million, while Swiss vehicles contributed $10.4 million.
Hong Kong saw $23.1 million in inflows, representing its strongest weekly performance since August 2025. Meanwhile, German products experienced $17.1 million in withdrawals, their first negative week in 2026. These recent figures brought the three-week cumulative total to $2.2 billion, helping offset the previous $3 billion outflow period.
Aggregate exchange-traded product assets increased 9.4% to $140 billion since the end of February. James Butterfill, CoinShares’ head of research, attributed the flows to evolving market psychology. He noted, “Investors have increasingly viewed bitcoin as a relative haven during periods of market stress.”
Inverse bitcoin products registered $8.1 million in fresh capital. This activity indicated ongoing hedging strategies among certain market participants. Nevertheless, traditional long bitcoin funds remained the clear leaders in weekly capital allocation.
Ethereum Sees Strong Interest Following ETHB Introduction While XRP Faces Continued Pressure
Ethereum-related investment products accumulated $315 million in new capital throughout the week. CoinShares attributed a portion of this demand to the debut of United States staking exchange-traded funds. BlackRock introduced the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHB) on March 12.
The ETHB offering enables investors to generate staking income while maintaining exposure to spot Ethereum pricing. Consequently, year-to-date Ethereum fund flows approached neutral levels. Earlier in 2026, Ethereum-focused vehicles had experienced substantial redemptions.
Additional US spot ETF metrics showed sustained appetite for leading digital assets. From March 9 through March 13, spot bitcoin ETFs registered $767 million in net positive flows. During the identical timeframe, spot Ethereum ETFs captured $161 million.
Spot Solana funds gathered $10.7 million throughout that period. Conversely, spot XRP ETFs saw $28.1 million in net redemptions. On a wider scale, XRP investment vehicles experienced $76 million in outflows for the second week running.
The weekly analysis confirmed that cryptocurrency investment products attracted $1.06 billion in aggregate capital. The uninterrupted three-week performance delivered cumulative inflows totaling $2.2 billion. CoinShares published these findings as total managed digital asset holdings climbed to $140 billion.
