Digital asset funds recorded $1B inflows last week as Bitcoin attracted $881M. Ethereum, Solana, and Chainlink also saw investments.
Crypto investment funds recorded a strong rebound last week after weeks of withdrawals. New data revealed digital asset funds received roughly $1 billion in new capital. Most of the money was funneling into Bitcoin products. The strong inflow indicates renewed interest from investors following the recent market weakness.
Bitcoin Leads Crypto Fund Inflows as Investor Demand Returns
According to CoinShares, digital asset investment products received $1.0 billion of inflows last week. This brought a close to five consecutive weeks of outflows of almost $4.0 billion. Market sentiment shifted for the better as investors looked for new places to get in following price declines.

Bitcoin investment products are the most invested in during the week. Funds focused on Bitcoin brought in $881 million. This accounted for almost 88% of the total weekly investment in the digital asset products.

However, short Bitcoin investment products also had $3.7 million inflows. This suggests that there are still traders out there who are expecting potential price declines. The mixed positioning reflects investor sentiment still being divided despite renewed demand.
Meanwhile, investment products linked to Ethereum received $117 million in inflows for the same week. This was the biggest inflow for Ethereum funds since mid January. The renewed demand was brought on by recent volatility in the wider crypto market.
Despite last week’s good figures, both Bitcoin and Ethereum are still in net outflow territory in 2026. Previous selling pressure led to a decrease in overall annual inflows in the two largest cryptocurrencies.
Regional data shows the United States made up most of the inflows. U.S. investors invested some $957 million of the total weekly investment. This indicates the high institutional involvement in digital asset markets.
Canada also had $34.1 million new inflows in the same period. Meanwhile, Germany attracted $31.7 million, and Switzerland added $28.4 million. These numbers indicate a widespread interest around the world in crypto investment products once again.
Solana and Chainlink See Fresh Capital as Market Sentiment Improves
Besides Bitcoin and Ethereum, other cryptocurrencies also attracted the capital of investors. Funds tracking Solana reached $53.8 million in inflows last week. Solana has now seen around $156 million in inflows this year to date in 2026.
The data implies that investors keep looking into other blockchain networks. Solana’s impressive transaction speed and rising ecosystem might be helping to fuel this consistent trend of investment.
Investment products associated with Chainlink also had $3.4 million in inflows during the week. Although smaller compared to other assets, the inflow suggests that there is more interest in blockchain oracle technologies.
Market observers think a number of factors contributed to a sudden reversal in fund flows. Recent price corrections forced many crypto assets below important technical levels. As a result, some investors saw the drop as a potential buy-in opportunity.
Large Bitcoin holders also increased accumulation over the same period. Their activity is often an indication of confidence in long-term market participants. As such, this behaviour could have assisted in changing investor sentiment.
Although inflows came back last week, volatility is a key issue for investors. Global macroeconomic uncertainty and shifting monetary policies continue to impact on financial markets.
Even so, the most recent $1 billion inflow is a sign of renewed confidence in digital assets. If this trend holds true, the capital flows for crypto investment products could see stronger capital flows in the coming months.

BTC 15-minute drop of 1.75%: Derivatives liquidity deterioration and capital withdrawals in sync weigh on prices
From 01:30 to 01:45 (UTC) on 2026-04-12, the BTC price saw significant volatility within the 71,560.0–73,017.1 USDT range. The candlestick return rate recorded -1.75%, and the amplitude reached 2.00%. During this period, market attention increased, the trading atmosphere clearly became more cautious, and heightened volatility triggered short-term capital vigilance.
The primary driving force behind this unusual move is the continued deterioration of liquidity in the derivatives market: CME futures open interest fell to a 14-month low, and institutional arbitrage capital accelerated its withdrawal. Futures trading volume trended lower over the long run, and arbitrage basis compression caused the market to deepen in…
