Global crypto funds attracted a remarkable $1 billion in inflows last week, marking their third consecutive week of positive net flows and best performance in two months, while underscoring resilience amid geopolitical challenges.<\/p>\n

Crypto Funds\u2019 Positive Streak Extends<\/h2>\n

According to the latest CoinShares data<\/a>, crypto funds drew $1.06 billion in inflows last week, continuing their positive net flows run for the third consecutive week and extending their best performance since the year started.<\/p>\n

Notably, crypto Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs) had a five-week run of negative net flows from January 19 to February 20 amid market weakness and broader negative sentiment. The investment products had cumulative outflows of $4 billion, registering their worst performance since the October 10 crash.<\/p>\n

The US market experienced<\/a> most of the negative net flows during this period, while Bitcoin-based ETPs saw the weakest performance among major cryptocurrencies, with over $3.80 billion in outflows.<\/p>\n

However, US investors\u2019 renewed demand for digital asset investment products since the end of February, particularly Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), has reduced the prior one-month outflows streak, bringing the three-week run of inflows to $2.62 billion.<\/p>\n

\"crypto\"<\/p>\n

Regionally, 96% of the inflows originated from the US, with Canada and Switzerland following with $19.4 million and $10.4 million, respectively. Hong Kong also attracted $23.1 million in inflows, marking the best performance since August 2025. In contrast, Germany recorded outflows of $17.1 million, its first negative net flows in 2026, according to CoinShares\u2019 data.<\/p>\n

Funds based on the flagship cryptocurrency showed the strongest performance this week, with $793 million in inflows. This accounts for 75% of total inflows, bringing BTC\u2019s three-week inflows to $2.2 billion.<\/p>\n

The report noted that short Bitcoin investment products also attracted $8.1 million in inflows last week, highlighting that market opinion remains somewhat polarized.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Ethereum funds also saw meaningful inflows worth $315 million, partially driven<\/a> by BlackRock\u2019s debut of its staked Ether ETF in the US. This brings the category\u2019s year-to-date (YTD) flows, which are on a net outflow position, near a net-neutral position.<\/p>\n

Digital Assets, Bitcoin\u2019s \u2018Safe Haven\u2019 Narrative Reinforced<\/h2>\n

James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, highlighted crypto funds\u2019 strong performance despite the increasing<\/a> Middle East tensions, explaining that \u201csignificant geopolitical disruption has reinforced digital assets, particularly Bitcoin, as a relative safe haven compared with other asset classes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since the beginning of the Iran crisis, total assets under management (AuM) in crypto ETPs have risen by 9.4% to $140 billion, Butterfill noted on Monday. Notably, Nate Geraci, co-founder of the ETF Institute, recently affirmed<\/a> that ETF investors have \u201clargely displayed diamond hands\u201d since the October correction began.<\/p>\n

The expert emphasized that 50% drawdowns \u201care a walk in the park for long-time BTC investors,\u201d but observed that newer ETF investors also appear unfazed by the recent market volatility.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg Intelligence Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas also shared a similar perspective on the performance of spot Bitcoin ETFs, calling the investment products\u2019 resilience \u201cabsurd\u201d amid the market conditions.<\/p>\n

The latest QCP Market Colour highlighted<\/a> that crypto is rallying and institutional liquidity is also returning, while equities and gold remain under pressure. According to the Monday analysis, recent price actions suggest a resurgence of Bitcoin\u2019s narrative as a \u201cdigital safe haven\u201d or \u201cgeopolitical hedge,\u201d with \u201cmarkets stress-testing that thesis in real time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf this pattern persists, it would be a late-quarter plot twist, given crypto\u2019s underdog status and its familiar habit of correlating with traditional assets mostly on the way down,\u201d the report stated.<\/p>\n
