Digital asset investment products recorded $1.06 billion in inflows last week, marking the third consecutive week of gains as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) reinforced its role as a relative safe haven during the Iran crisis.

The Safe Haven Narrative Confirmed

Total assets under management in digital asset ETPs rose 9.4% to $140 billion since the onset of the Iran crisis. 

CoinShares head of research James Butterfill said the inflows occurred amid significant geopolitical disruption, highlighting resilience and reinforcing Bitcoin’s safe haven status compared with other asset classes.

U.S. investors accounted for 96% of flows. Canada and Switzerland followed, recording inflows of $19.4 million and $10.4 million respectively. 

Hong Kong saw inflows of $23.1 million, the largest since August 2025. Germany recorded outflows of $17.1 million, the first weekly outflow this year.

Bitcoin Dominates With $793M

Bitcoin accounted for 75% of total inflows, amounting to $793 million. The three-week run of inflows reached $2.2 billion, closing in on the prior five-week period of outflows totaling $3.0 billion.

Short-Bitcoin products also recorded inflows of $8.1 million last week, highlighting that market opinion remains somewhat polarized despite the overall bullish momentum.

Ethereum Surges On Staking ETFs

Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) saw meaningful inflows of $315 million, bringing year-to-date flows close to a net neutral position. 

The surge was partly driven by the launch of new staking ETF listings in the U.S., including BlackRock’s iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF.

XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) suffered its second week of outflows totaling $76 million, continuing the negative flow trend despite price resilience.

BTC Tests Critical $74K-$76K Resistance

Since bottoming near $58,000 in early February, BTC has staged a solid recovery, climbing roughly 27% in six weeks. 

The structure shows higher lows, higher highs, and price riding above all Bollinger Bands.

The middle Bollinger Band at $73,595 acts as immediate support, while the lower band at $69,814 marks the floor of the recent uptrend. 

Price is now bumping into the $74,000-$76,000 zone, which was support in late January before the breakdown and has now flipped into resistance.

RSI sits at 70.91, right at the overbought line but not yet in extreme territory. The RSI moving average at 60 confirms underlying momentum is healthy. 

Unlike some altcoins that spiked to 77-80 RSI on rallies, BTC still has room before it’s truly stretched.
