Crypto-linked investment products pulled in $619 million last week, even as trading screens reflected volatility tied to tensions around Iran.
CoinShares reported in its latest Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report, covering the week to March 6, 2026, that Bitcoin vehicles accounted for most of the new money.

The inflow breaks a recent stretch of weekly withdrawals from these products and comes at a time when investors are also watching shifting geopolitical risks and energy prices.

Crypto currency is very volatile, I think we are in a bearish market
 
I totally get the 'no no' sentiment from @Ugobeauty and @Adegoroye—the volatility is definitely not for the faint-hearted! However, it’s interesting to note that while we are cautious, $619 million flowed into Bitcoin vehicles just last week.
Also, regarding the 'Trump laws' @igwe emmanuel mentioned, there's actually a bit of a twist. While his administration is pushing for strict DeFi reporting (Form 1099-DA), they are also urging the passage of the CLARITY Act and the GENIUS Act to make stablecoins like USDT legal for everyday payments. It’s a double-edged sword: more regulation, but also more 'legitimacy.' Is it possible the 'risk' is shifting from 'will it disappear?' to 'how much will it be taxed?

Exactly, crypto is risky, but money is still flowing in. Now it’s more about regulation and taxes than disappearance.
