Digital asset investment products pulled in $1.06 billion last week, extending a three-week inflow streak that has challenged Bitcoin’s critics during a period of acute geopolitical stress.
The latest CoinShares weekly report showed total exchange-traded product (ETP) assets climbing 9.4% to $140 billion since tensions with Iran escalated, reinforcing a growing institutional view that Bitcoin (BTC) functions as a relative safe haven.
US Investors Drive the Surge As Bitcoin Dominates, but Sentiment Stays Split
Based on the report, American funds accounted for 96% of total inflows. Canada added $19.4 million, and Switzerland contributed $10.4 million. Hong Kong posted $23.1 million, its strongest week since August 2025.
Germany bucked the trend, recording $17.1 million in outflows, the first weekly withdrawal from the country this year.
Bitcoin products attracted $793 million, or 75% of total flows. The three-week cumulative tally now sits at $2.2 billion, nearly closing the gap with the $3 billion that exited during the prior five-week downturn.

Ethereum Gets a Staking Boost
Ethereum (ETH) recorded $315 million in inflows, partly driven by BlackRock’s launch of the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHB) on March 12.
The new product allows investors to earn staking rewards while also gaining spot price exposure.
Year-to-date ETH flows have now returned close to neutral after heavy outflows earlier in 2026.
XRP extended its losing streak with $76 million in outflows for a second consecutive week, suggesting the altcoin rotation that dominated late 2025 may be losing steam.
