The Crypto Fear & Greed Index climbed above 29 on Monday for the first time since January 29, pulling out of “extreme fear” and settling into plain “fear<\/a>.” It is a small move on a scale, but in crypto markets, it signals a shift in mood that money tends to follow.<\/p>\n

Funds Flow Back In<\/h2>\n

Crypto investment products drew $1.4 billion in fresh inflows<\/a> last week, according to data from CoinShares \u2014 the second-largest weekly figure recorded since January. The gain built on the prior week’s $1.1 billion, stretching the inflow run to three straight weeks and $2.7 billion combined.<\/p>\n

Total assets under management across crypto exchange-traded products rose close to $155 billion, the highest mark since early February. Just weeks earlier, in March, that figure had fallen as low as $128 billion.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

CoinShares head of research James Butterfill pointed to a recovering appetite for risk, tied largely to ongoing US-Iran ceasefire<\/a> talks. Bitcoin’s price added to the mood, briefly pushing toward $78,000 on Friday before pulling back.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin And Ether Lead, Altcoins Get Left Behind<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bitcoin products captured the bulk of the action. Data shows inflows into Bitcoin ETPs reached $1.12 billion for the week, pushing year-to-date totals to $3 billion, with assets under management sitting at $123 billion. US spot Bitcoin ETFs<\/a> alone accounted for roughly $1 billion of that weekly total.<\/p>\n

Ether had its strongest week since January, pulling in $328 million. That was enough to flip Ether ETPs into positive territory for the year, with year-to-date inflows now sitting at $197 million.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Not everything moved in the same direction. XRP<\/a> products bled $56 million in outflows, the largest among altcoins. Solana<\/a> recorded smaller but still negative flows of $2.3 million.<\/p>\n

Short-Bitcoin products took in just $1.4 million, suggesting only a thin slice of investors are still betting against the market.<\/p>\n

\nInflation Data Gets Brushed Aside<\/p>\n

Geographically, the US drove most of the action \u2014 $1.5 billion in inflows. Germany came in second at $28 million. Switzerland ran the other way, posting $138 million in outflows.<\/p>\n

March CPI came in at 3.3% year over year, with core inflation at 2.6%. Based on reports from CoinShares, markets largely looked past the headline number, treating core inflation as contained and supply-driven rather than broad-based.<\/p>\n
