Global digital asset investment products recorded $224 million in net inflows for the week ending April 3, according to CoinShares Head of Research James Butterfill. That followed a $414 million outflow the prior week, which had snapped a five-week streak of positive flows.
“Stronger-than-expected retail sales data later in the week, alongside increasingly hawkish investor expectations and mixed geopolitical signals, led to minor outflows in the latter half of the week,” Butterfill wrote in a Tuesday report.
XRP funds dominated, capturing $119.6 million of the weekly inflows — the largest for the asset since mid-December 2025. The surge brings XRP’s year-to-date inflows to $159 million, representing approximately 7% of its total assets under management, per CoinShares.
Butterfill said bitcoin-based products saw $107.3 million in net inflows for the week, though their net outflows for the month stand at $145 million. Short-bitcoin investment products, on the other hand, attracted $16 million, the largest since mid-November 2025 — a performance he noted reflects polarized views on the asset.
The CoinShares data arrives as U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs reported $471.3 million in net inflows on Monday, marking the highest single-day total since February 25. Those flows were led by BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC, which attracted $181.9 million and $147.3 million, respectively.
Meanwhile, Ethereum investment products continued to lag other major assets last week, posting $52.8 million in net outflows as investors digested recent negative developments, including those tied to the Clarity Act, Butterfill said. Solana funds added $34.9 million, with steady inflows this year now representing 10% of its AUM.
Regionally, Butterfill said activity was concentrated in Europe rather than the United States. Crypto funds in Switzerland led all jurisdictions with $157.5 million in net inflows, followed by Germany with $27.7 million and Canada with $11.2 million. The United States ranked third with $27.5 million in net inflows during the week.
