CoinShares Head of Research James Butterfill pointed to the sustained momentum as evidence of Bitcoin's growing role as a relative safe-haven asset, noting that total digital asset ETP assets under management have climbed 9.4% to nearly $140 billion since the onset of the Iran crisis.Short-Bitcoin products also attracted $8.1 million in inflows, which Butterfill described as a sign that market opinion remains "somewhat polarized" despite the broader bullish trend.Ethereum Approaches Flow NeutralEthereum ETPs recorded $315.3 million in inflows last week, sharply narrowing their year-to-date deficit to approximately $23 million in net outflows. Butterfill attributed the improved momentum in part to new staking ETF listings in the US, which he said have brought Ethereum ETP flows close to a net neutral position.US Spot Bitcoin ETFs Post First Five-Day Streak of 2026US spot Bitcoin ETFs were the primary driver of last week's Bitcoin inflows, attracting $767.3 million and posting their first five-day consecutive inflow streak of the year.

Solana bucked the trend with $9.1 million in modest inflows.
