In Summary

Catenaa, Sunday, April 06, 2025-Global crypto investment products attracted $226 million in net inflows last week, marking the second straight week of gains, according to asset manager CoinShares. Bitcoin led with $195 million in inflows, while altcoins based funds saw positive movement for the first time in five weeks.

Despite nine consecutive days of inflows, Friday saw minor outflows of $74 million, attributed to stronger-than-expected US inflation data that raised concerns over the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy stance.

“Following the largest outflows on record, exchange-traded products (ETPs) have rebounded,” CoinShares Head of Research James Butterfill said. “However, macroeconomic uncertainty remains a key factor influencing investor sentiment.”

Bitcoin fell about 6% over the past week, while the GMCI 30 index of leading cryptocurrencies dropped 10.6%. Analysts said heightened market sensitivity to US trade policy and broader macroeconomic trends contributed to the decline.

“President Trump’s proposed 25% tariff hike on Mexican and Canadian goods has reignited trade war fears, pushing investors toward risk-averse assets,” said Ryan Lee, chief analyst at Bitget Research.

Regionally, the United States led inflows with $204 million, followed by Switzerland and Germany with $14.7 million and $9.2 million, respectively.

Meanwhile, Hong Kong and Brazil registered minor outflows.

Altcoins gained traction, with Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Sui-based funds seeing inflows of $14.5 million, $7.8 million, $4.8 million, and $4 million, respectively.

The latest figures come as total assets under management for bitcoin investment products hit their lowest level since November’s US presidential election, standing at $114 billion, according to CoinShares.
