Bitcoin picks up pace: four consecutive weeks of inflows as $1.2 billion pours into crypto
Digital assets post a fourth straight week of inflows totalling $1.2 billion. Bitcoin climbs back above $76,000 and AuM rises to $155 billion as institutional demand quietly reasserts itself.
Four weeks in a row. That single figure, more than any other, captures the mood of the crypto market this spring. According to CoinShares' weekly Digital Asset Fund Flows report, the week ending 24 April 2026 saw $1.2 billion flow into the sector, pushing total assets under management (AuM) to $155 billion — the highest level since the beginning of February.
This is not an isolated technical bounce. Bitcoin's return above the psychologically significant $76,000 mark has breathed fresh life into a market that spent several weeks drifting without conviction, and the numbers suggest the recovery has something more structural behind it: institutional demand, cautious but real, is waking back up.
Bitcoin leads the weekly flow rankings with $933 million, bringing its year-to-date total to over $4 billion. Ethereum holds second place with $192 million — its third consecutive week above the $190 million mark, a sign of sustained interest that goes beyond simply chasing the market leader. Solana comes in with a solid $31.8 million, while XRP returns to positive territory at $25 million after a few uneven weeks.
Geographically, the United States remains the dominant engine, accounting for more than $1.1 billion of the weekly total. But this week also delivers a few surprises. Germany nearly doubles its contribution compared to the previous seven days, bringing in $61.7 million. Switzerland — which recorded outflows of $138 million just last week — reverses course entirely, posting $35.2 million in inflows. Canada also participates with $15.5 million, suggesting the investor base is gradually broadening beyond its traditional concentration.
Looming in the background is the Federal Open Market Committee meeting scheduled for 28–29 April. Market participants are watching it closely, and it goes some way toward explaining why, despite the broadly positive tone, moves remain measured and sentiment stops short of outright euphoria.
Worth noting, too, is the $16.5 million flowing into short-Bitcoin products — in line with the recent monthly average. It signals that a portion of the market is still hedging its exposure, unwilling to abandon caution entirely.
The bigger picture, however, remains some way from its former highs. AuM peaked at $263 billion in October 2025; relative to that level, the market still has considerable ground to recover. But for now, the direction at least appears to be set.
