US$1.4B inflows as ceasefire optimism and BTC breakout drive risk appetite

Digital asset investment products saw inflows of US$1.2B, a fourth consecutive positive week. This likely reflects improving institutional demand against a backdrop of Bitcoin trading at its highest levels since early February. The market now turns to the FOMC decision on 28-29 April, which is likely contributing to caution at the margin. Total AuM rose to US$155B, the highest level since 1st February, though still well below the October 2025 peak of US$263B.

Regionally, the US dominated with US$1.1B of inflows. Germany saw US$61.7M, more than double the prior week, while Switzerland reversed last week's US$138M of outflows with US$35.2M of inflows. Canada recorded US$15M inflows, suggesting a broader-based regional bid than recent weeks.

Bitcoin saw US$933M of inflows, bringing year-to-date flows to US$4.0B. Short-bitcoin products attracted US$16.5M of inflows, broadly in line with the prior month's average and suggesting persistent but not elevated hedging demand.

Ethereum saw US$192M of inflows, the third consecutive week above US$190M. Blockchain equity ETFs have seen US$617M inflows over the last 3 weeks, hitting record weekly inflows and marking an explosion in popularity in gaining exposure to the general technology and asset class.
