Meanwhile, total assets under management in digital asset ETPs have also risen 9.4% to nearly $140 billion, according to CoinShares head of research James Butterfill.<\/p>\n<p>With the latest inflows, Bitcoin ETPs have pushed year-to-date gains to $933 million, while Ethereum funds are still in the red with around $23 million in outflows year to date, despite $315 million in inflows last week.<\/p>\n<p>Butterfill noted that the latest data highlights Bitcoin\u2019s \u201cresilience during geopolitical stress\u201d and reinforces its role \u201cas a relative safe haven.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>XRP suffered the most outflows among major assets, totaling $76 million, while Solana recorded $9.1 million in inflows.<\/p>\n<p>Short Bitcoin products also recorded inflows of $8.1 million, suggesting investor positioning remains \u201csomewhat polarized.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Most of the inflows came from the United States, where spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded their first five-day <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/spot-bitcoin-etfs-amass-180m-inflows-will-btc-price-see-a-boost\/\" target=\"_blank\">inflow streak of 2026 last week<\/a>, attracting $767.3 million.<\/p>\n<p>As such, it appears that institutional investors are primarily favoring Bitcoin over higher beta altcoins during periods of uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>Separate data tracking U.S. spot crypto ETFs also pointed to similar trends. Spot Bitcoin funds recorded $767 million in net inflows, while spot Ethereum ETFs drew $161 million.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, Bitcoin price has climbed above the $73,000 threshold after recovering from <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/bitcoin-price-stalls-in-low-volatility-why-65000-support-is-at-risk\/\" target=\"_blank\">local lows near $60,000<\/a> earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>This renewed support from institutional investors, along with a <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/why-is-the-crypto-market-up-today-march-16\/\" target=\"_blank\">resurgence in risk sentiment<\/a> following the initial shock of the Middle East conflict as investors rotate back into crypto markets while oil prices surge, appears to be supporting the latest rally.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts suggest that the trend is being <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/bitcoin-price-above-73k-as-iran-war-oil-shock-and-fed-bets-fuel-risk-on-mood\/\" target=\"_blank\">reinforced by the digital gold narrative<\/a>, as traditional equity and commodity markets continue to face volatility tied to tensions in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, the market is closely monitoring the $74,000 to $74,500 range, which currently serves as a critical resistance zone. A decisive close above this level could position Bitcoin for a rally higher.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, on the downside, maintaining the $70,000 to $71,500 support region remains essential for preserving the current bullish structure and preventing a retracement toward earlier monthly lows.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/crypto-funds-draw-1-06b-in-inflows-for-third-week-as-bitcoin-leads-demand\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crypto investment products recorded $1.06 billion in inflows last week, even as geopolitical stress tied to tensions in the Middle East continued to weigh on broader financial markets.
