Bitcoin Adds 2M, Ether Loses M As CoinShares Flags Sentiment Shift

Digital asset funds drew $117.8 million in net inflows last week, the fifth straight positive week, though four days of outflows nearly tipped the balance.

CoinShares Weekly Flows

The figures come from CoinShares' Volume 284 Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report, published by head of research James Butterfill.

Funds bled $619 million from Monday through Thursday before a single Friday session pulled in $737 million, flipping the week into positive territory. Butterfill described the Friday print as one of the largest single-day inflows of 2026.

Total assets under management held near $155 billion, broadly unchanged from the prior week.

Regional flows pointed to a sharper US pullback, with American funds gathering only $47.5 million after a $1.1 billion haul the prior week. Germany led Europe with $43.8 million, and Canada added $16 million.

Bitcoin (BTC) products absorbed $192.1 million, lifting year-to-date inflows to $4.2 billion. The figure trailed the prior three-week average near $1 billion. Short-Bitcoin products attracted $6 million.

Ether (ETH) products lost $81.6 million, ending a three-week stretch above $190 million in weekly inflows. Asset participation also narrowed, with only four products posting inflows versus nine the week before.

The Friday rebound followed a stretch in which the four prior weeks had averaged close to $1 billion in Bitcoin inflows alone, marking a clear cooling before the late-week reversal.
