Bitcoin Funds Draw More Than $700 Million in a Week as Institutional Demand Stays Strong

Digital asset manager CoinShares tracks flows into cryptocurrency investment products offered by firms including BlackRock and 21Shares, providing an indication of institutional allocation appetite. A recent compromise on stablecoin yields in the U.S. CLARITY Act improved the regulatory outlook and prompted investors to increase their Bitcoin exposure.

CoinShares said on May 11, 2026, that digital asset funds recorded net inflows of $857.9 million in the week ended May 8, marking a sixth consecutive week of inflows. Bitcoin products accounted for $706.1 million, bringing year-to-date inflows to $4.9 billion. Bitcoin was trading at about $81,000 at the time, while Marex said a daily close above $82,000 could open the way for the next leg higher.
