$933 million flows into Bitcoin funds as crypto ETFs record strongest AUM since February

Crypto investment products extended their inflow streak to four consecutive weeks, drawing $1.2 billion last week, according to CoinShares data.

Total assets under management across digital asset funds rose to $155 billion — the highest since February 1 — though still well below the $263 billion peak reached in October 2025. The recovery reflects a steady return of institutional capital despite mixed broader market conditions.

Bitcoin led inflows with $933 million, lifting year-to-date totals to $4 billion. Ether also maintained consistent demand, recording $192 million in inflows for a third straight week above $190 million.

Beyond spot crypto funds, blockchain equity ETFs have also gained traction. These funds, which track publicly listed companies tied to crypto infrastructure such as miners, exchanges, and chipmakers, attracted $617 million over the past three weeks, including a record weekly inflow. CoinShares analyst James Butterfill described the trend as rising demand for indirect exposure to the digital asset ecosystem.

The data suggests investors are increasingly opting for equity-based exposure rather than direct spot holdings.

Bitcoin price action has reflected this backdrop. BTC briefly touched $79,399 — its highest level since late January — before easing to $77,705. The $80,000 level remains a key technical zone, where many earlier buyers are now near breakeven, potentially creating overhead supply.

Markets are now focused on whether sustained inflows can absorb selling pressure at these levels or whether repeated rejections near $79,000 will extend consolidation instead of triggering a breakout.

Attention also turns to a major week for U.S. earnings, with Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Apple all set to report. Together, these companies represent a significant share of the S&P 500, making their results a key driver of risk sentiment across equities and crypto.

Stronger earnings could extend inflows and support a breakout above $80,000 for bitcoin. Weaker results, however, may weigh on risk assets and renew downside pressure across digital markets.
