Digital asset investment products recorded $224 million in inflows last week, showing a modest recovery in market sentiment, according to the latest report from CoinShares. However, the momentum proved fragile, with flows reversing later in the week amid stronger macroeconomic data and shifting investor expectations.
Digital asset investment products let people invest in crypto and blockchain through regulated options like ETFs, funds, and trusts, without directly owning the assets. They offer easier access, better security, and options for both passive and active investing. These products include ETFs, tokenized assets, and yield-generating portfolios, but they come with risks like high volatility, regulatory issues, and security concerns.

XRP leads inflows as sentiment remains divided
Investor demand was led by XRP, which attracted $119.6 million in inflows, its strongest weekly performance since December 2025. The surge pushed its year-to-date inflows to $159 million, highlighting renewed interest in the asset despite broader market uncertainty.
Bitcoin followed with $107.3 million in inflows, offering some relief after a weak start to the month. Still, overall sentiment around the asset remains mixed, with short-bitcoin products recording $16 million in inflows.
Solana also posted steady gains, pulling in $34.9 million and maintaining consistent inflows throughout the year. In contrast, Ethereum extended its losing streak, with $52.8 million in outflows as investors reacted to ongoing regulatory concerns and weaker sentiment.
Europe drives activity as U.S. lags
Geographically, Switzerland emerged as the dominant market, accounting for $157.5 million in inflows. Germany and Canada followed with $27.7 million and $11.2 million, respectively, while the United States saw relatively muted activity at $27.5 million.
The shift shows a broader trend of capital rotation toward European markets, even as global macro conditions weigh on investor confidence. Stronger-than-expected retail data and increasingly hawkish expectations later in the week contributed to minor outflows, underscoring the sensitivity of digital asset flows to macroeconomic signals.
Similarly, Crypto investment products recorded $454M in weekly outflows as early-year gains were largely erased. Fading expectations of a March Fed rate cut triggered a risk-off shift, led by US investors.
