Özet

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.

An Open-Source AI Tool That No One Saw Predicted Kelp DAO's $292 Million Vulnerability 12 Days Ago

An open-source AI security tool flagged critical risks in Kelp DAO’s cross-chain architecture 12 days before a $292 million exploit on April 18, 2026—the largest DeFi incident of the year. The vulnerability was not in the smart contracts but in the configuration of LayerZero’s cross-chain bridge: a 1-of-1 Decentralized Verifier Network (DVN) setup allowed an attacker to forge cross-chain messages with a single compromised node. The tool, which performs AI-assisted architectural risk assessments using public data, identified several unremediated risks, including opaque DVN configuration, single-point-of-failure across 16 chains, unverified cross-chain governance controls, and similarities to historical bridge attacks like Ronin and Harmony. It also noted the absence of an insurance pool, which amplified losses as Aave and other protocols absorbed nearly $300M in bad debt. The attack unfolded over 46 minutes: the attacker minted 116,500 rsETH on Ethereum via a fraudulent message, used it as collateral to borrow WETH on lending platforms, and laundered funds through Tornado Cash. While an emergency pause prevented two subsequent attacks worth ~$200M, the damage was severe. The tool’s report, committed to GitHub on April 6, scored Kelp DAO a medium-risk 72/100—later acknowledged as too lenient. It failed to query on-chain DVN configurations or initiate private disclosure, highlighting gaps in current DeFi security approaches that focus on code audits but miss config-level and governance risks. The incident underscores the need for independent, AI-powered risk assessment tools that evaluate protocol architecture, not just code.
