Digital Asset Fund Flows | April 13th, 2026

Risk appetite rebounds, driving $1.1bn inflows into digital assets

• Digital asset investment products saw US$1.1bn of inflows, the strongest since January, driven by improved lower than expected CPI and easing geopolitics.

• Flows were heavily US-centric, accounting for 95% of inflows, while trading volumes remain subdued relative to the year average.

• Bitcoin led with US$871m inflows, Ethereum saw a notable recovery, while short-bitcoin products recorded their largest inflows since November 2024, signalling persistent hedging activity.

Digital asset investment products saw inflows of US$1.1bn, the largest weekly total since early January. This likely reflects a rebound in risk appetite following tentative ceasefire developments in Iran, alongside support from softer-than-expected US spending and CPI data. Trading volumes rose 13% week-on-week, but at US$21bn remain well below the year-to-date average of US$31bn. Total assets under management (AuM) have, however, recovered to levels not seen since early February.

Regionally, the positive sentiment was almost entirely concentrated in the US, which saw inflows of US$1.06bn, accounting for 95% of total weekly inflows. Germany recorded inflows of US$34.6m, while Canada and Switzerland saw more modest inflows of US$7.8m and US$6.9m, respectively.

Bitcoin saw inflows totalling US$871m, bringing year-to-date (YTD) inflows to just under US$2bn. Although this hasn’t deterred bearish investors as US$20.2m of inflows were seen in short-bitcoin investment products, the largest weekly inflows seen since November 2024.

Ethereum also saw a strong rebound in sentiment with US$196.5m inflows but remains one of the only assets in a net outflow position YTD. XRP saw inflows of US$19.3m while little else saw inflows. Solana saw minor outflows of US$2.5m.
