After two weeks of minor outflows, Bitcoin investment products recovered to see significant gains, topping the chart last week with $1.3 billion of inflows. Short-Bitcoin products also recorded modest inflows of $3.7 million, though their AUM remained low at $96 million.
Ether (ETH) ETPs ranked second in inflows, maintaining their positive trend with a further $583 million in inflows last week. According to CoinShares’ Butterfill, the inflows marked ETH product’s largest gains since February, including their strongest single-day inflows.
Following a three-week run of outflows, XRP (XRP) investment products saw $11.8 million in inflows last week, while Sui (SUI) products saw a further $3.5 million in inflows.

In a video posted to X on Sunday by a Finance Ministry official, Saylor told the pair that “Pakistan has many brilliant people and a lot of people do business with you” and used his Bitcoin-buying company as an example of how the country can show “intellectual leadership.”
Saylor’s Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, has the largest Bitcoin holdings among public companies, with 582,000 BTC worth over $61 billion according to Bitbo.
Strategy has sold billions of dollars worth of debt and shares to fund its Bitcoin buys, and its share price has soared over 3,000% since its first purchase in mid-2020.
Saylor signals imminent Bitcoin acquisition amid growing conflict between Israel and Iran
Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor posted the Bitcoin (BTC) chart that signals the company is about to make another purchase amid mounting geopolitical conflict between Israel and Iran that threatens to spark a regional war.
“Bigger Dots are ₿etter,” the executive wrote to his 4.4 million followers in a Sunday X post, hinting at the impending purchase on Monday.
According to data from SaylorTracker, Strategy has 582,000 BTC, making it the largest known corporate holder of Bitcoin.
Saylor signaling another acquisition represents investor confidence in BTC. The price of the digital asset has held steady around the $105,000 level during the conflict between Israel and Iran.
However, this could change if the war escalates and energy prices are impacted, which will likely also negatively impact risk-on-asset markets.
