Digital Asset Inflows Slow to $11 Billion in Q1 2026, Says JPMorgan

JPMorgan has reported a slowdown in digital asset inflows, estimating them at approximately $11 billion for the first quarter of 2026. According to NS3.AI, this figure suggests an annualized pace of about $44 billion, which is roughly one-third of the inflows recorded in 2025. Analysts, including Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, noted that the majority of the inflows so far this year have been driven by Strategy's bitcoin acquisitions and concentrated crypto venture funding. In contrast, retail and institutional investor flows have been minimal or negative year-to-date.
