Global crypto funds attracted an impressive $1 billion in inflows last week, marking their third consecutive week of positive inflows and the best performance in two months, while underlining resilience amid global challenges.
Crypto Funds’ Positive Streak Extends
According to the latest CoinShares data, cryptocurrencies received $1.06 billion in inflows last week, continuing their positive net flow for the third week in a row and extending their best performance since the beginning of the year.
Notably, crypto Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs) had a negative five-week run from January 19 to February 20 amid market weakness and broader negative sentiment. Investment products had outflows totaling $4 billion, registering their worst performance since the October 10 crash.
The US market experienced many negative flows during this period, while Bitcoin-based ETPs saw the weakest performance among major cryptocurrencies, with outflows exceeding $3.80 billion.
However, US investors’ renewed demand for digital asset investment products since the end of February, especially Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), has lowered the one-month outflow rate, bringing the three-week cash flow to $2.62 billion.

By region, 96% of revenue comes from the US, Canada and Switzerland follow with $19.4 million and $10.4 million, respectively. Hong Kong also attracted $23.1 million in inflows, marking the best performance since August 2025. In contrast, Germany recorded outflows of $17.1 million, its first negative net outflow in 2026, according to CoinShares data.
Flagship cryptocurrency-based funds showed the strongest performance this week, with $793 million in revenue. This accounts for 75% of the revenue, bringing the three-week BTC inflow to $2.2 billion.
The report noted that short-term Bitcoin investment products also attracted $8.1 million in revenue last week, highlighting that the market outlook remains divided.
Meanwhile, Ethereum funds also saw meaningful inflows worth $315 million, driven by BlackRock’s first US Ether ETF. This brings the year-to-date (YTD) phase flow, which is at the net outflow, closer to the mean.
Digital Assets, Bitcoin’s ‘Safe Haven’ Narrative Reinforced
James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, emphasized the strong performance of cryptocurrencies despite the escalation of conflicts in the Middle East, explaining that “the major disruptions in the world have strengthened digital assets, especially Bitcoin, as a safe haven compared to other asset classes.”
Since the start of the Iran crisis, total assets under management (AuM) in crypto ETPs have increased by 9.4% to $140 billion, Butterfill noted on Monday. Notably, Nate Geraci, founder of the ETF Institute, recently confirmed that ETF investors have “shown more diamond hands” since the correction began in October.
The expert emphasized that the 50% drop is “a walk in the park for long-term BTC investors,” but noted that new ETF investors also seem indifferent to recent market volatility.
Bloomberg Intelligence Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas also shared a similar view on the performance of Bitcoin ETFs, calling the intensity of investment products “nonsense” amid market conditions.
The latest QCP Market Color highlighted that crypto is growing and institutional money is also returning, while equities and gold remain under pressure. According to Monday’s analysis, recent price actions suggest a resurgence of the narrative of Bitcoin as a “digital safe haven” or “national hedge,” and “markets testing the stress of that thesis in real time.”
“If this pattern continues, it could be a late-stage reversal, given the crypto’s underdog status and its general tendency to correlate with traditional assets especially on the way down,” the report said.
