Crypto Inflows Return with $644 Million Boost, Bitcoin Leads

The market is experiencing renewed optimism as crypto inflows reached $644 million last week.

It is a significant reversal after five consecutive weeks of outflows, suggesting a notable change in investor sentiment.

Crypto Inflows Reach $644 Million, Market Sentiment Recovers

The rebound follows a challenging period in which investor sentiment remained cautious, leading to substantial withdrawals from the market. With total assets under management (AUM) rising by 6.3% since March 10, the latest data suggests a decisive shift in market confidence.

According to the latest CoinShares report, Bitcoin emerged as the primary driver of the market recovery. The pioneer crypto attracted $724 million in inflows, effectively ending a five-week outflow streak totaling $5.4 billion.

The surge in inflows reflects growing investor confidence in Bitcoin, which had previously seen sustained withdrawals amid broader market uncertainty. While Bitcoin saw a strong recovery, the altcoin market experienced a mixed performance.

Ethereum faced the heaviest outflows, with $86 million exiting the asset. On the other hand, Solana recorded $6.4 million in inflows.

The divergence in altcoin sentiment highlights that investors remain selective about where they allocate capital. Specifically, they focus on projects with perceived strong fundamentals. While the data points to continued investor caution regarding Ethereum (ETH), it also indicates investors see strong potential for Solana (SOL).

Meanwhile, most of last week’s infWeek’ssiginated from the US, which saw $632 million enter digital asset investment products.

March Reverses February’s Negative Trend

The return to inflows follows a difficult February and early March, during which crypto outflows surged. A week prior, crypto outflows totaled $1.7 billion, with Bitcoin withstanding the worst withdrawals.

Before that, outflows hit $876 million, led by US investors offloading digital assets amid a bearish trend. Therefore, the latest influx of capital suggests that sentiment may be turning, possibly driven by renewed institutional interest and a more stable macroeconomic outlook.

Further reinforcing the market’s rebound, Bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds) also saw a strong influx of capital. After five consecutive weeks of outflows, Bitcoin ETFs recorded $744 million in inflows last week. This signals increased institutional participation.

The recovery aligns with Bitcoin’s broader market resurgence and suggests that investors are regaining confidence in crypto-based financial products.

“I bet BTC hits $110,000 before it retests $76,500. Why? The Fed is going from QT to QE for treasuries. And tariffs don’t matter cause transitory inflation,” wrote BitMex founder Arthur Hayes.

Meanwhile, BeInCrypto data shows BTC was trading for $87,720 as of this writing. This represents a surge of almost 4% in the last 24 hours, with the pioneer crypto steadily edging toward the $90,000 psychological level.

“Bitcoin rose above $87,000 on Monday, its highest since March 7, after dipping to $76,000 earlier this month. The rally comes as reports suggest upcoming Trump tariffs, set for April 2, will be more targeted and less disruptive than feared,” finance expert Walter Bloomberg observed.

The upcoming Trump tariffs, set for April 2 and dubbed “Liberation Day,” are expected to be less disruptive than anticipated. This could boost investor confidence in riskier assets like Bitcoin. The White House’s plan for reciprocal tariffs aims to equalize trade barriers, with Trump emphasizing no exceptions but offering unspecified “flexibility” for certain nations.
