Bitcoin leads $858M crypto fund inflows as CLARITY Act hopes grow: CoinShares

Digital asset investment products recorded $857.9 million in inflows last week, according to CoinShares’ latest weekly fund flows report. 

The figure marked the sixth straight week of positive flows and the largest weekly total since April 24.

Total assets under management rose to $160 billion. CoinShares linked the move to stronger market sentiment after Bitcoin climbed above $80,000 during the week. The firm said the move “likely reflects” improving sentiment around the CLARITY Act, keeping the wording cautious as the bill still awaits a key Senate step.

Bitcoin leads weekly demand

Bitcoin products drew the largest share of new capital, with $706.1 million in weekly inflows. That brought Bitcoin’s year-to-date fund flows to $4.9 billion, according to the report.

Short-Bitcoin products moved in the opposite direction, with $14.4 million in outflows. CoinShares said this was the largest weekly outflow from short-Bitcoin products this year, suggesting some traders closed bearish hedges as the Bitcoin rally gained support.

Additionally, Ethereum products recorded $77.1 million in inflows, reversing the prior week’s $81.6 million outflow. The shift showed renewed demand for ETH exposure after recent weakness in the asset’s fund flows

.

Solana and XRP also attracted capital. Solana products drew $47.6 million, while XRP products saw $39.6 million in inflows. Multi-asset products were the main weak spot, with $5.5 million in outflows.

CLARITY Act debate drives attention

Recent coverage noted that the CLARITY Act’s stablecoin-yield compromise has become a major focus for crypto investors. Major banking groups rejected the Tillis-Alsobrooks language, warning that yield-bearing stablecoins could pull funds away from bank deposits. Coinbase and Circle backed the compromise, while Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong posted, “Mark it up.” 

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse also defended the bill’s momentum at Consensus 2026, calling recent progress a “big positive shift.” That view remains uncertain because the bill still faces banking-sector resistance and must clear the Senate process. 

Meanwhile, the United States led regional inflows with $776.6 million, recovering sharply from $47.5 million the prior week. Germany followed with $50.6 million, while Switzerland and the Netherlands recorded $21.1 million and $5 million, respectively.

Recent coverage had already shown stronger fund demand before this latest report. In April, crypto investment products pulled $1.4 billion in inflows, led by Bitcoin and Ethereum, while assets under management reached $155 billion.  

Earlier in March, digital asset funds drew $1.06 billion as Bitcoin led demand during a period of geopolitical stress.
