Key Takeaways
- • Crypto investment products recorded $1.1 billion in net inflows during the week ending April 13, 2026, marking the strongest weekly performance since early January, according to CoinShares data.
- • Bitcoin dominated inflows with $871–872 million, with U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs accounting for $786.3 million of that total, lifting year-to-date Bitcoin ETP inflows to nearly $2 billion (83% of all crypto ETP inflows in 2026).
- • Ethereum rebounded sharply with $196.5 million in inflows after three consecutive weeks of outflows, though the asset remains in net negative territory year-to-date at minus $130 million.
- • The United States generated $1.065 billion of the weekly total (95%), with Germany ($34.6 million), Canada ($7.8 million), and Switzerland ($6.9 million) as secondary contributors.
- • CoinShares attributed the surge to softer-than-expected U.S. inflation and spending data combined with temporary easing of geopolitical tensions, which restored investor risk appetite after the prior week's modest $224 million inflow.
Summary
Digital asset investment products experienced a significant resurgence during the week ending April 13, 2026, attracting $1.1 billion in net inflows—the largest weekly total since early January. According to CoinShares data, this marked a sharp recovery from the preceding week's comparatively modest $224 million inflow, signaling renewed institutional and retail appetite for crypto exposure.
Bitcoin products led the weekly surge with $871–872 million in inflows, with U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs contributing the bulk at $786.3 million. This performance lifted Bitcoin's year-to-date inflow total to approximately $2 billion, representing roughly 83% of all crypto ETP inflows recorded through mid-April 2026. Notably, short-Bitcoin products also attracted $20.2 million—their strongest weekly inflow since November 2024—indicating that despite bullish spot product flows, a segment of investors maintained hedging positions against potential downside.
Ethereum demonstrated a meaningful recovery, posting $196.5 million in inflows and ending three consecutive weeks of outflows. However, the asset remains challenged on a year-to-date basis, carrying a negative flow balance of $130 million. Smaller assets showed mixed results: XRP added $19.3 million while Solana declined by $2.5 million.
Geographically, the United States dominated activity, generating $1.065 billion or approximately 95% of total weekly inflows. Germany followed with $34.6 million, while Canada, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Brazil contributed more modestly at $7.8 million, $6.9 million, $2 million, and $1.2 million, respectively. Trading volumes climbed 13% week-on-week to $21 billion, though this remained below the yearly average of $31 billion, while total assets under management recovered to levels not seen since early February.
CoinShares head of research James Butterfill attributed the weekly surge to two primary catalysts: softer-than-expected U.S. inflation and spending data, combined with a temporary easing of geopolitical tensions. Together, these factors revived broader investor risk appetite, driving capital into digital asset products after a period of relative caution.
