Cryptocurrency investment products recorded $1.06 billion in weekly inflows for the third consecutive week, largely driven by U.S.-based funds. Bitcoin dominated with $793 million in inflows, while Ethereum saw $315 million, partly due to new U.S. staking ETF listings. Solana also contributed, though XRP experienced redemptions. Approximately 96% of the total inflows came from the U.S., with Canada, Switzerland, and Hong Kong also posting positive figures. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a five-day inflow streak with $767.3 million, though year-to-date net flows remain negative. Analysts suggest investors are increasingly viewing Bitcoin as a safe haven during market stress.

Crypto exchange-traded products recorded $1.06 billion in weekly inflows for the third consecutive week, as Bitcoin continued to dominate the flows, with significant contributions from Ethereum and Solana, while XRP saw meaningful redemptions, amid geopolitical concerns.

According to the CoinShares report on March 16, crypto investment products maintained strong momentum last week, where $793 million flowed into Bitcoin alone. While Ethereum brought in inflows of $315 million, it is partly driven by new US staking ETF listings. With that, the crypto investment products recorded $1.06 billion in inflows last week.

As per the report, approximately 96% of all inflows into the region came from U.S.-based funds, which provided the great majority of the capital. Canada came in second with $19.4 million, while funds in Switzerland attracted $10.4 million.

Then, Hong Kong recorded $23.1 million in inflows, its largest weekly total since August 2025, while Germany’s crypto investment products had outflows of $17.1 million. Now, the three-week total stands at $2.2 billion after last week’s inflows.

James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, said that last week’s inflows highlight how investors have increasingly viewed bitcoin as a relatively safe haven during periods of market stress.

U.S. Bitcoin ETFs See Five-Day Inflow Streak

As mentioned earlier, the majority of Bitcoin fund inflows came from U.S.-based spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). They received $767.3 million in fresh capital last week, which was their first five-day inflow streak of 2026. Yes, with about $493 million in net withdrawals so far this year, the ETFs are still in negative territory.

After $1.8 billion in withdrawals in January and February were somewhat offset by $1.34 billion in inflows in March, this week will determine whether U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs can finally post a positive performance for 2026.

Anthropic's IPO Launch: Commercial Miracle or Valuation Bubble?

Anthropic has confidentially filed for an IPO, led by Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, potentially going public by October. Following its latest $650 billion funding round, its pre-IPO valuation stands at $965 billion, with projections reaching up to $2 trillion at listing, which would make it the highest-valued private company ever. The article, written by Fu Sheng, addresses skepticism that this represents an AI bubble akin to the 2000 dot-com crash. It argues the current situation differs fundamentally. Unlike the internet bubble era, which relied on speculative narratives with little revenue, Anthropic's valuation is backed by unprecedented, measurable financial performance. Key data points include: * **Revenue Growth:** ARR skyrocketed from $10 billion in early 2025 to $470 billion by May 2026, targeting $100 billion by year-end—a growth curve unmatched in business history. * **Profitability:** It achieved operating profitability in Q2 2026 with an estimated $5.6 billion profit. * **Efficiency:** With ~3,000 employees and ~$470 billion ARR, its revenue per employee exceeds $10 million. Products like Claude Code, launched less than a year ago, already generate $25 billion in annualized revenue. * **Enterprise Adoption:** It boasts a strong enterprise client base, with 8 of the Fortune 10 and over 1,000 large firms spending over $1 million annually on Claude. The valuation is framed using a traditional SaaS model (e.g., a 10x Price-to-Sales multiple on $100 billion revenue). The author contends the core question for analysts has shifted from "How big could this be?" to "How much is it earning and will earn next quarter?" The discussion extends beyond Anthropic to a broader paradigm shift: the transition from a "carbon-based" to a "silicon-based" economy. Companies are increasingly prioritizing investment in compute and AI capabilities over human resources, as these directly scale productivity and competitive advantage. Anthropic's IPO is thus positioned not just as a corporate milestone, but as a price anchor for this new economic era.
