The crypto market continues to show resilience as digital asset investment funds recorded inflows of over $1 billion last week, indicating that investor interest remains strong despite the world facing geopolitical tensions.
According to a report from CoinShares, crypto investment products such as exchange-traded products (ETPs) recorded inflows of $1.06 billion, with the majority of funds flowing into Bitcoin which received around $793 million.
This makes it three consecutive weeks of positive inflows for the crypto market with a total of around $2.7 billion.
CoinShares head of research James Butterfill said that this momentum shows that digital assets, particularly Bitcoin, are increasingly seen as a ‘relative safe haven’ by investors amid global market uncertainty.
Since the outbreak of the crisis involving Iran, the amount of assets under management for crypto ETPs has increased by almost 9.4% to around $140 billion, indicating that confidence in this market is still intact.
Meanwhile, Ethereum-related funds also showed a recovery, receiving $315 million in inflows last week, although overall this year still recorded small outflows of around $23 million.
The bulk of Bitcoin inflows were driven by spot ETFs in the United States, which recorded five consecutive days of fund inflows, totaling around $767 million in a week.
However, the Bitcoin ETF still recorded net outflows of around $493 million for 2026 so far, after experiencing significant selling pressure at the beginning of the year.
If the momentum of this inflow continues, analysts believe that crypto funds have the potential to return to stronger performance, thus solidifying Bitcoin's position as an alternative asset that is increasingly attracting the attention of global investors.
