Bitcoin Funds Pull In $933M as Crypto ETF AUM Hits Highest Level Since Feb. 1
Institutional capital is returning to crypto faster than retail participation, and recent flow data is lending support to bitcoin's steady advance. Digital-asset investment products drew $1.2 billion of net inflows last week, marking a fourth straight weekly increase, according to CoinShares figures released Monday.
Total assets under management across crypto funds climbed to $155 billion, the highest since February 1, though still far below the $263 billion high set in October 2025. Bitcoin products accounted for $933 million of last week's inflows, lifting year-to-date net flows to $4 billion. Ether products added $192 million, the third consecutive week above $190 million.
Beyond crypto-linked funds, blockchain equity ETFs have also seen strong demand. These vehicles invest in listed companies tied to crypto infrastructure—including miners, exchanges, and chipmakers supplying crypto-related applications. Over the past three weeks, they recorded $617 million in inflows, including a record weekly total. CoinShares analyst James Butterfill said the surge reflects rising appetite for indirect technology exposure to the asset class, as some allocators rotate into equity wrappers rather than holding spot bitcoin.
Bitcoin touched $79,399 overnight—its highest level since January 31—before retreating to $77,705. The $80,000 area is in focus as buyers from January and February near breakeven after the war-driven correction. The coming week will test whether institutional inflows can absorb potential selling or whether another rejection near $79,000 reinforces a trading range instead of setting up a breakout.
Broader risk appetite may hinge on megacap tech earnings later this week. Results from Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta on Wednesday and Thursday, followed by Apple on Thursday, represent roughly a quarter of the S&P 500's market capitalization. Strong reports could help extend the four-week streak of crypto inflows and provide bitcoin the momentum to clear $80,000. Weak earnings could pressure prices lower.
