Cryptocurrency investment products continued to gain popularity last week, with inflows exceeding every other week so far in 2026 and posting the biggest gains since October.
Exchange-traded products (ETPs) attracted $2.17 billion inflows last week, European crypto asset manager CoinShares reported on Monday.
Most of the inflows came early in the week, but there was a shift in sentiment on Friday, with an outflow of $378 million amid geopolitical escalation in Greenland and up-to-date tariff concerns, said James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares.
“The sentiment was also dampened by suggestions that Kevin Hassett, the leading candidate to become the next US Fed chairman and a well-known political dove, is likely to remain in his current position,” the analyst added.
Bitcoin leads gains with $1.6 billion in inflows
The majority of crypto fund gains last week were focused on Bitcoin (BTC), which attracted $1.55 billion in inflows, or more than 71% of the total weekly haul.
Ether (ETH) funds attracted $496 million in inflows, followed by XRP (XRP) and Solana (SOL) funds, attracting approximately $70 million and $46 million, respectively. Smaller altcoins such as Sui (SUI) and Hedera (HBAR) saw inflows of $5.7 million and $2.6 million.
CoinShares’ Butterfill added that the inflow of Ether and Solana cryptocurrencies continued despite CLARITY Act proposals before the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, which could limit stablecoin yield offerings.

Multi-asset and tiny Bitcoin investment products were the only two categories that saw monthly outflows totaling $32 million and $8.6 million through Friday.
All major issuers posted robust gains last week, led by BlackRock’s iShares ETFs with $1.3 billion inflows. This was followed by Grayscale Investments and Fidelity Investments, which earned $257 million and $229 million, respectively.
Geographically, the United States led the inflow with $2 billion, while Sweden and Brazil recorded minor outflows of $4.3 million and $1 million, respectively.
With the latest inflows, the total value of assets under management in cryptocurrency funds has surpassed $193 billion for the first time since early November.
