Crypto's Compass Points Up: $226M Inflows Signal Market Turnaround

Last week, the cryptocurrency market's digital asset investment products had a change of fortune when they recorded net inflows worth $226 million after four consecutive weeks of $1.7 billion outflows. Bitcoin brought in $195 million worth of inflows, and altcoins as a whole recorded $33 million, their first positive week in five. The big gainers were Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Sui, bringing in $14.5 million, $7.8 million, $4.8 million, and $4 million respectively.

The United States was the biggest contributor to such inflows with $204 million, followed by Switzerland and Germany with $14.7 million and $9.2 million, respectively. Hong Kong and Brazil, however, registered insignificant outflows. Nevertheless, despite the encouraging inflow, total assets under management for global crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) fell to $133.9 billion as of March 28, a record low since 2025, from $142 billion in the first half of the month.

These recent inflows are a possibly guarded return of investor sentiment into cryptocurrencies, against the backdrop of continued market uncertainty and economic volatilities. This is a pointer to a possible inflection point for the cryptocurrency market as it struggles with trying times
