US Funds Capture 96% of $1.06B Weekly Allocation as Bitcoin Dominates
Bitcoin-based products secured $793 million in new allocations, representing approximately three-quarters of all weekly investments. According to CoinShares data, American investment vehicles accounted for roughly 96% of global inflows. Canadian products registered $19.4 million, while Swiss vehicles brought in $10.4 million.
Hong Kong saw $23.1 million in allocations, its strongest weekly performance since August 2025. Meanwhile, German products experienced $17.1 million in withdrawals, representing the nation’s first negative week in 2026. These latest numbers brought the three-week cumulative total to $2.2 billion, offsetting a portion of the previous $3 billion outflow cycle.
Exchange-traded product assets expanded 9.4% to $140 billion from late February levels. CoinShares research director James Butterfill indicated the movements signal evolving investor sentiment. According to his analysis, “Investors have increasingly viewed bitcoin as a relative haven during periods of market stress.”
Short-focused bitcoin vehicles still registered $8.1 million in new capital. These flows indicate certain market participants maintained defensive positions against possible price declines. Nonetheless, long bitcoin strategies clearly commanded the majority of weekly allocations.
ETHB Staking Product Drives Ethereum Momentum as XRP Sees Continued Withdrawals
Ethereum-centered investment products accumulated $315 million in fresh capital throughout the reporting period. CoinShares attributed a portion of this interest to recently launched American staking exchange-traded funds. BlackRock introduced its iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHB) on March 12.
The ETHB vehicle enables participants to collect staking rewards while maintaining exposure to spot Ethereum pricing. Consequently, Ethereum’s year-to-date flow balance has nearly returned to breakeven levels. Earlier quarters of 2026 saw substantial withdrawals from Ethereum-focused products.
Independent United States spot ETF figures showed ongoing demand 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 accumulated $161 million.
Spot Solana funds brought in $10.7 million throughout that period. Conversely, spot XRP ETFs experienced $28.1 million in net withdrawals. More broadly, XRP investment vehicles recorded $76 million in outflows for the second straight week.
The weekly analysis confirmed digital asset products collectively attracted $1.06 billion in new money. The ongoing three-week positive streak generated cumulative inflows totaling $2.2 billion. CoinShares published these metrics as combined crypto asset management holdings climbed to $140 billion.
