Digital asset investment products drew $1.06B in net inflows for the third straight week, according to a CoinShares report, as geopolitical instability — particularly the ongoing Iran crisis — reinforced Bitcoin (BTC) as a relative safe haven among institutional investors and pushed total assets under management in digital asset ETPs up 9.4% to $140B.
What Happened: Crypto Fund Inflows Hit $1.06B
The weekly report from CoinShares showed U.S. investors accounted for 96% of the total inflows. Canada and Switzerland followed with $19.4M and $10.4M, respectively.
Hong Kong posted $23.1M in inflows — the largest since Aug. 2025. Germany moved in the opposite direction, recording $17.1M in outflows, the first such weekly decline this year.
Bitcoin captured 75% of total inflows at $793M, bringing its three-week cumulative figure to $2.2B and narrowing the gap with a prior five-week stretch of $3.0B in outflows. Short-Bitcoin products also attracted $8.1M, a sign that sentiment remains divided.
Ethereum (ETH) saw $315M in inflows, driven partly by new U.S. staking ETF listings, and has nearly returned to net neutral on a year-to-date basis. XRP (XRP) posted a second consecutive week of outflows totaling $76M.

Why It Matters: Safe Haven Demand Grows
The three-week inflow streak underscores a shift in how institutional capital responds to geopolitical stress. Since the Iran crisis began, total AuM across digital asset ETPs has climbed 9.4% to $140B, suggesting that large allocators increasingly view Bitcoin as a hedge rather than a purely speculative asset.
The Ethereum inflows are notable for a different reason. New staking ETF products in the U.S. appear to be drawing fresh capital into ETH at a time when the token had been struggling with persistent outflows earlier this year.
The regional split also matters. The overwhelming concentration of flows in the U.S. — at 96% — highlights how dominant American institutional demand has become in shaping global crypto fund dynamics, even as pockets of interest emerge in Hong Kong and fade in Germany.
