A net $224 million flowed into cryptocurrency investment products last week, and XRP led inflows after drawing $119.6 million.

On April 7 local time, blockchain media outlet BeInCrypto cited CoinShares data as saying flows briefly stalled in the latter part of the week due to macro factors, but clear differences emerged by asset and region.

By region, Europe unusually led inflows. Switzerland ranked first with $157.5 million, followed by Germany with $27.7 million and Canada with $11.2 million. The United States, typically the hub of fund flows, took in just $27.5 million, showing relatively weak performance. This is seen as a shift compared with the recent pattern in which U.S.-based products led both inflows and outflows.

By asset, XRP's strength stood out. XRP's weekly inflow was the largest since mid-December 2025, and cumulative inflows since the start of the year total $159 million. That is about 7 percent of assets under management. The outlet said inflows have continued even during a market correction since a spot XRP ETF launched in the United States at the end of 2025.

Bitcoin drew $107.3 million, showing a modest recovery after weakness in early April. On a month-to-date basis, however, it still shows net outflows of $145 million. At the same time, short-bitcoin products saw $16 million in inflows, the highest since mid-November 2025. This suggests investors are expanding positions both for upside expectations and downside hedges.

Solana also recorded inflows of $34.9 million, continuing a gradual upward trend. Inflows into Solana this year were estimated at about 10 percent of total assets under management.

Ethereum, by contrast, saw $52.8 million in outflows, the most pronounced weakness among major assets. One factor cited is stalled discussions in the U.S. Senate on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. The bill passed the House in mid-2025, but progress has stopped in the Senate due to differences between the banking sector and the crypto industry over stablecoin revenue structures. The outlet said Ethereum is highly sensitive to regulatory outcomes because it is at the center of the asset classification debate.

Still, momentum in inflows at the start of the week did not last through the end. In the latter part of the week, risk appetite weakened after U.S. retail sales came in stronger than expected and hawkish expectations around Federal Reserve policy grew. As a result, some funds flowed out in the final trading stretch, reversing part of the week's gains.
