Morgan Stanley’s freshly launched Bitcoin exchange-traded fund pulled in nearly $62 million within its first week of trading \u2014 a debut that landed in the middle of the strongest week for crypto investment products in three months.<\/p>\n

Macro Shifts Fuel The Comeback<\/h2>\n

That broader rebound was driven by more than one firm’s market entry. Crypto funds globally attracted $1.1 billion in net inflows<\/a> for the week ending April 11, according to asset manager CoinShares.<\/p>\n

The turnaround came after five straight weeks of outflows that drained roughly $4 billion from the market and left investor sentiment battered heading into April.<\/p>\n

CoinShares head of research James Butterfill pointed to two specific triggers: early ceasefire signals out of Iran and a softer-than-expected US inflation reading. Both helped ease nerves that had kept institutional money on the sidelines.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

US investors led the charge. Based on CoinShares data, American buyers accounted for $1.06 billion \u2014 about 95% of total global flows for the week. US spot Bitcoin ETFs absorbed the largest share, pulling in $833 million, per data from Farside Investors.<\/a><\/p>\n

Bitcoin And Ethereum Both Draw Fresh Money<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin funds worldwide attracted $871 million. Ethereum, which had recorded outflows for three consecutive weeks before this, saw $196.5 million flow back in. Weekly trading volumes climbed 13% to $21 billion, though that number still sits well below the year-to-date average of $31 billion, reports indicate.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The positioning among big investors told an interesting story. At the same time institutions were buying into Bitcoin and Ethereum<\/a>, short-Bitcoin products \u2014 funds that profit when Bitcoin’s price falls \u2014 recorded $20 million in inflows.<\/p>\n

That was the highest single-week total for those products since November 2024. Money was moving in, but some of it was being used as a safety net.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

XRP funds, which had briefly outpaced Bitcoin the previous week with nearly $120 million in inflows, cooled significantly. Reports show XRP investment products brought in a little over $19 million during the same period.<\/p>\n


\nMorgan Stanley Moves Deeper Into Crypto<\/p>\n

Beyond the weekly numbers, Morgan Stanley’s expanding footprint in the space drew attention. The bank has already filed for Ethereum and Solana ETFs<\/a> following its Bitcoin fund launch.<\/p>\n

According to reports, Morgan Stanley<\/a> executive Amy Oldenburg said the firm also plans to roll out crypto services including a tokenized money market fund and tax-harvesting options for clients.<\/p>\n

Year-to-date, Bitcoin ETF inflows have reached just under $2 billion \u2014 about 82% of all crypto ETP inflows recorded in 2026. Ethereum remains in the red for the year, sitting at $130 million in cumulative outflows despite last week’s recovery.<\/p>\n

Total assets under management across crypto investment products climbed back to levels not seen since early February.<\/p>\n
