Crypto investment products recorded $1.4B in net inflows last week. The figure is the second-strongest weekly inflow reading since January 2026.

Bitcoin Leads the Move

Bitcoin (BTC) accounted for the majority of the week's inflows. The rally past $76,000 brought institutional buyers back into spot and ETF-wrapper products.

Fidelity's FBTC product logged a single-day outflow of $35.99M on 17 Apr, trimming some exposure after the volatile stretch.

That outflow is small relative to the weekly aggregate.

Ethereum also attracted meaningful fund inflows over the period. The split between BTC and ETH products was not broken down in available data at time of writing.

Context on the January Peak

January 2026 marked the strongest weekly inflow period of the year so far. Bitcoin was trading near cycle highs then. The subsequent correction through February and March sent weekly flow figures sharply lower. Several weeks in March recorded net outflows.

Last week's $1.4B reading breaks that streak. It places the week in second position for 2026 to date.

The recovery in flows aligns with Bitcoin's price recovering above $75,000 after a drawdown that took it briefly below $65,000 in mid-March.

Ethereum Derivatives Signal Shift

Separately, Ethereum's derivative markets showed a buy signal not seen since 2022. Buyer volumes on ETH derivatives reached a level last observed during the prior bear market recovery. Analysts have noted that the 24-hour change in ETH is down roughly 4% on the day even as longer-term flows recover.

ETH trades at approximately $1,875 at time of writing. The price change in the 24 hours to 16:04 BST sits at roughly minus 4%.
