Summary
Bitcoin dominated the flow narrative, recording $1.12 billion in weekly inflows as BTC surged to $77,900, its highest level since early February, according to CoinGecko data. Year-to-date Bitcoin flows now total $3.1 billion, establishing a clear lead among digital assets. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced exceptional demand, attracting nearly $1 billion in weekly inflows, with Friday alone recording $663.9 million in net inflows—the highest single-day total since mid-January. This concentration of ETF demand underscores significant institutional participation in regulated Bitcoin exposure vehicles.
Ethereum products demonstrated secondary strength, posting $328 million in weekly inflows—their strongest performance since January—bringing year-to-date Ethereum flows to $197 million. However, alternative Layer-1 tokens experienced capital outflows. XRP recorded $56 million in outflows while Solana saw $2.3 million exit, totaling $58 million in combined outflows from these two assets. This divergence suggests capital concentration toward the largest, most liquid digital assets and established smart contract platforms.
Regional analysis reveals pronounced geographic divergence in risk appetite. The United States captured $1.5 billion of total inflows, with Germany contributing $28 million, reflecting broad North Atlantic institutional demand for crypto exposure. Switzerland, however, posted $138 million in outflows—the largest Swiss outflow since November 2025—marking a sharp divergence from the broader risk-on sentiment driving global flows. This outlier behavior may reflect local regulatory considerations, currency dynamics, or tactical reallocation by Swiss-based investors.
