Crypto investment funds recorded $1.1 billion in weekly inflows, their strongest performance since January, as institutional investors responded to easing macro conditions and a renewed appetite for risk.
CoinShares Inflow Data
CoinShares reported on Monday that digital asset funds attracted $1.1 billion during the week ending Apr. 11. U.S. investors accounted for $1.06 billion, or 95% of total flows.
James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, attributed the rebound to tentative ceasefire developments in Iran and softer-than-expected U.S. CPI data.
Bitcoin (BTC) funds led with $871 million in inflows. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs alone captured $833.2 million. Trading volumes rose 13% week-over-week to $21 billion but remained below the 2026 year-to-date average of $31 billion.
Ethereum (ETH) reversed three consecutive weeks of outflows with $196.5 million.
Short-Bitcoin products drew $20.2 million, their highest weekly total since November 2024, a sign that institutions hedged even as they added exposure.

Morgan Stanley Crypto Push
The week also brought the launch of Morgan Stanley's spot Bitcoin ETF, which pulled in nearly $62 million after its Wednesday debut, per Farside Investors.
Amy Oldenburg, head of digital asset strategy at Morgan Stanley, said the firm plans to explore additional crypto products, including a tokenized money market fund and tax-harvesting services for clients.
The bank has already filed for Ethereum and Solana (SOL) ETFs.
Bitcoin ETF Flow Trajectory
The surge followed five straight weeks of outflows totaling $4 billion that had weighed on sentiment through March.
Bitcoin's year-to-date inflows now stand just under $2 billion, representing 83% of the $2.3 billion in total crypto ETP flows recorded in 2026. Ethereum remains in negative territory for the year with cumulative outflows of $130 million. XRP (XRP) funds, which led all assets the prior week with nearly $120 million, fell sharply to $19.3 million.
