TechFlow News, April 13: According to CoinShares’ Research Report (Issue #281), digital asset investment products recorded $1.1 billion in net inflows last week—the highest weekly level since January this year—driven primarily by U.S. CPI data coming in below expectations and ceasefire signals emerging from the Iran situation, leading to a marked improvement in market risk appetite.
By asset, Bitcoin led the inflows with $871 million for the week, bringing its year-to-date cumulative inflows close to $2 billion. Ethereum sentiment improved significantly, attracting $196.5 million in inflows, though it remains in net outflow territory year-to-date. XRP saw $19.3 million in inflows, while Solana experienced a modest outflow of $2.5 million. Notably, Bitcoin short products attracted $20.2 million in inflows during the same period—the largest weekly inflow since November 2024—indicating persistent hedging demand.
Regionally, the U.S. dominated inflows, accounting for 95% of the total—or $1.06 billion. Germany, Canada, and Switzerland recorded inflows of $34.6 million, $7.8 million, and $6.9 million, respectively. Trading volume rose 13% week-on-week; however, the weekly trading volume of $2.1 billion remains below the year-to-date average of $3.1 billion. Total assets under management have rebounded to levels seen in early February.
