Bitcoin funds draw $933 million in inflows as crypto ETF assets under management climb to February peak levels

Crypto investment funds extended their inflow streak to four consecutive weeks, attracting $1.2 billion last week, according to CoinShares data.

Total assets under management across digital asset products rose to $155 billion, the highest level since February 1, though still well below the October 2025 peak of $263 billion. The rebound reflects a gradual return of institutional capital even as broader market conditions remain uneven.

Bitcoin led inflows with $933 million, pushing year-to-date totals to $4 billion. Ether also maintained steady demand, recording $192 million in inflows for a third consecutive week above the $190 million threshold.

Outside of spot crypto products, blockchain equity ETFs have continued to gain traction. These funds, which provide exposure to companies tied to crypto infrastructure such as miners, exchanges, and semiconductor firms, attracted $617 million over the past three weeks, including a record weekly inflow. CoinShares analyst James Butterfill described the trend as growing demand for indirect exposure to the digital asset sector.

The data highlights a preference among some investors for equity-linked crypto exposure rather than direct spot holdings.

Bitcoin price action has reflected this institutional backdrop. BTC briefly reached $79,399, its highest level since January 31, before easing back to $77,705. The $80,000 level remains a key technical zone, where many earlier buyers are now near breakeven, potentially creating overhead supply.

Market participants are now watching whether sustained inflows can absorb selling pressure at these levels, or whether repeated rejections near $79,000 will lead to a broader consolidation phase.

Attention also turns to a pivotal week for U.S. equities, with Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Apple all set to report earnings. Together, these companies represent a significant share of the S&P 500, making their results a key driver of risk sentiment across both equity and crypto markets.

Stronger-than-expected earnings could extend inflows and support a breakout above $80,000 for bitcoin. Weak results, however, may dampen risk appetite and trigger renewed downside pressure across digital assets.
