Global crypto investment products recorded $117.8 million in net inflows last week, extending a positive run to five consecutive weeks, according to CoinShares data published May 5. The five-week cumulative total surpassed $4 billion. Products covered include those managed by BlackRock, Fidelity, Grayscale, Bitwise, ProShares and 21Shares. Total assets under management held steady at $155 billion.
The weekly figure masked sharp turbulence within the same period. Products bled $619 million across the first four trading sessions, from Monday through Thursday. A single Friday session then brought in $737 million, flipping the week to positive. CoinShares Head of Research James Butterfill described Friday's figure as one of the largest single-day inflows recorded in 2026, attributing it to a sudden improvement in risk appetite.
Bitcoin (BTC)-based products led all assets for the week, adding $192.1 million and lifting year-to-date flows to $4.2 billion. US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) contributed $162.8 million of that total, with BlackRock's IBIT alone accounting for $136.6 million.
Participation Narrowed Before Friday Recovery
Only four assets recorded net inflows during the week, down from nine the prior week. Butterfill said that contraction was the clearest signal that investor conviction softened before Friday's session restored the weekly total to positive territory.
Ethereum (ETH) products posted $81.6 million in outflows, ending a three-week run of positive flows. Solana (SOL) recorded $11.1 million in outflows. XRP attracted just $3 million in net investment over the course of the week.
Regionally, the US recorded $47.5 million in net inflows, down sharply from $1.1 billion the prior week. Germany attracted $43.8 million, and Canada added $16 million, suggesting European demand held up better during the mid-week risk-off period. Among fund providers, BlackRock's iShares led the week with $131 million, while Grayscale saw $72 million in outflows.
