Global crypto investment products bounced from the late-March sentiment 
downturn, with XRP funds and European investors stealing the spotlight from 
Bitcoin and US markets. Related Reading: Bitcoin Next Big Move In Mid-April? 
Analyst Explains Why ‘Decision Time’ Could Be Near XRP Inflows Fuel Crypto 
Funds Recovery According to the latest CoinShares report, global crypto funds 
recorded $224 million in inflows last week, a modest recovery from the late- 
March sentiment downturn, when investors pulled $414 million from the products 
amid worries about escalating tensions in the Iran conflict and the prospect 
of higher inflation. James Butterfill, CoinShares Head of Research, explained 
that despite the improvement in sentiment, momentum reversed at the end of the 
week due to stronger macro data and hawkish expectations, leading to minor 
outflows. “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,” he wrote. In 
an unusual shift, Switzerland led activity last week, bringing $151.5 million 
into crypto funds, followed by Germany’s $27.7 million inflows. The US ranked 
third, recording only $27.5 million in inflows last week, while Canada saw 
$11.2 million. Moreover, funds based on XRP, the fifth-largest cryptocurrency 
by market capitalization, saw the largest inflows of any asset. Per CoinShares 
data, XRP products recorded $119.6 million in inflows, its largest positive 
net flows since mid-December. This figure brought its Year-to-Date (YTD) 
inflows to $159 million, around 7% of the category’s Assets under Management 
(AuM). It’s worth noting that US-listed XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) 
registered their first red month since their November launch, with $31.1 
million in outflows. Despite the March setback, US XRP ETFs recorded positive 
net flows of $42.52 million in the first quarter of 2026, only behind Solana 
funds. Bitcoin Shows Mixed Signals, Ethereum Lags Global Bitcoin funds 
followed XRP and saw total inflows worth $107.3 million during the week, 
“improving on what has been a bad start to the month, [as] net outflows remain 
at US$145m for the month so far,” CoinShares added. Notably, short Bitcoin 
investment products recorded $16 million in inflows during this period, their 
largest performance since mid-November, which signals polarized opinions on 
the asset. Despite the muted US activity last week, US Bitcoin ETFs started 
this week with their largest single-day performance in over a month. According 
to SoSoValue data, the category saw $471.3 million in positive net flows on 
Monday, its highest inflows since February 25. As reported by NewsBTC, US 
Bitcoin funds ended the first quarter of 2026 by breaking out of a four-month 
negative streak, pulling in $1.32 billion in March, its first monthly gain of 
2026. Following XRP and Bitcoin, Solana funds also saw inflows, totalling 
$34.9m last week. As CoinShares noted, the category’s steady inflows this year 
represent 10% of AuM. Related Reading: Crypto Trust Crisis — The “Kim Jong‑Un

products ended March on a positive note, leading altcoin funds with inflows 
worth $45.44 million and $213.1 million in the monthly and quarterly 
timeframes, respectively. Nonetheless, Ethereum tells a different story, as 
funds continue to lag behind other major crypto assets. According to the 
report, Ethereum products saw $52.8 million in outflows last week, extending 
its negative streak as investors digest recent negative developments. Featured
