Digital asset investment products attracted $3.55 billion in weekly inflows, according to CoinShares. It was the strongest weekly result of 2026, following two weeks of mostly flat activity. Total assets under management climbed to about $173 billion.
Bitcoin accounted for the largest share at $2.52 billion. Ethereum followed with $702 million, while Solana and XRP recorded $193 million and $92.3 million, respectively. Most of the new money came through US-based products.
US Bitcoin ETFs Lead Weekly Inflows
The United States accounted for $3.434 billion of the week’s total. Germany was next with $73.9 million, followed by Canada at $21.8 million and Switzerland at $20.9 million.
US spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled in roughly $2.39 billion. Ether ETFs added another $690 million, with both groups recording inflows on each of the five trading sessions.
Monday was relatively quiet by comparison. Bitcoin ETFs brought in $31 million that day, while Ether ETFs saw $17 million. The slower start did little to change the bigger picture, as the weekly Bitcoin ETF total still reached its highest level of 2026.
It was also the strongest weekly result for Bitcoin ETFs since October 2025. US-listed funds therefore accounted for a large part of the latest increase in digital asset investment flows.
Bitcoin Rebounds as Crypto Flows Strengthen
The rise in crypto investment came as Bitcoin recovered from its September drop. The cryptocurrency had fallen below $75,000 earlier in the month before climbing back above $87,000 on Sept. 23. At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $84,110, up 1.3% over the past 24 hours.
Bitcoin later pulled back toward the mid-$80,000 range. CoinShares said the Federal Reserve’s September decision may have helped bring buyers back. The firm described the move as “buying the fact” after several weeks of cautious trading.
The Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points on Sept. 16, bringing its target range to 3.75%–4.00%. Other markets also showed mixed signals during the period.
The 10-year Treasury yield moved higher, while Brent crude climbed back toward $106 after briefly dropping below $100. These moves added to uncertainty in financial markets, even as Bitcoin recovered.
Ethereum, Solana and XRP Also Gain
Bitcoin attracted most of the money during the week, but investors also put more money into other major cryptocurrencies.
Ethereum investment products received $702 million. Solana followed with $193 million, while XRP products brought in another $92.3 million.
The numbers show that the increase in crypto investment was spread across several major assets. Bitcoin still accounted for the biggest share of the money, however.
CoinShares said total assets under management across the industry stood at about $173 billion. Weekly inflows have increased, although the total remains below earlier market highs.
Regulation and Corporate Buying Add to Activity
US crypto regulation was also part of the market backdrop. The CLARITY Act failed to pass a Senate cloture vote on Sept. 15, with the vote ending 49-50.
Two days later, the SEC granted a temporary exemption covering limited trading of tokenized US stocks on permissioned blockchain platforms. The exemption applies to a limited area of trading.
Companies also continued buying Bitcoin. Strategy added 950 BTC and later purchased another 1,665 BTC, bringing its reported holdings to 847,666 BTC.
The company also bought back about $326 million worth of its STRC preferred shares. It partly used proceeds from common-stock sales to fund those purchases.
Economic Data Could Affect Future Crypto Flows
Markets are now watching several upcoming economic reports that could affect expectations for interest rates. These include core PCE inflation, final GDP figures and the next nonfarm payrolls report.
Earlier CPI data had already added some uncertainty around monetary policy. CoinShares Head of Research James Butterfill said overall inflation was broadly in line with expectations, while core inflation was somewhat higher than expected.
That could affect expectations for future Federal Reserve rate cuts. Higher interest rates for longer can also make it harder for riskier assets, including cryptocurrencies, to attract money.
Bitcoin ETF activity also changed during the week. Inflows were stronger earlier in the period before slowing toward the end.
For now, CoinShares’ $3.55 billion figure shows a sharp increase in weekly crypto investment flows. Bitcoin led the move, while Ethereum, Solana and XRP also attracted substantial inflows.
It remains unclear whether the higher flow will continue in the coming weeks. The latest figures show a strong weekly rebound, but one week’s data does not establish a longer-term trend.
