Global digital asset investment products recorded $224 million in net inflows for the week ended April 3, with XRP products leading at $119.6 million. Bitcoin products took in $107.3 million, while Ethereum products posted $52.8 million in net outflows. CoinShares also highlighted $157.5 million of inflows into Switzerland-based funds, the largest by region.

Crypto exchange-traded products recorded $224 million of net inflows last week after the prior week's $414 million outflow. XRP led with about $120 million, while Bitcoin ETPs added $107 million and Ether products saw $53 million in outflows. Total crypto ETP assets under management rose to about $131.8 billion, with year-to-date inflows at roughly $1.2 billion.

On April 7, 2026, Bloomberg Intelligence strategist Mike McGlone said stablecoins could drive a major 'flippening,' with Tether's AUM potentially surpassing Ethereum in 2026 and later Bitcoin. He also warned Bitcoin may revisit much lower levels, citing a possible move toward $10,000 by 2026 and arguing that broad risk-market weakness and higher volatility could pressure crypto prices.

Crypto’s Q1 2026 downturn coincided with a 1.6% decline in USDT while the total market cap slid 20.8%, suggesting capital left the market rather than waiting on the sidelines. In April, Ethereum-led stablecoin activity picked up, including a near 2.6% monthly increase in USDT issuance volume on ETH and a $10.3 billion monthly stablecoin supply change on Ethereum. The shift has fueled debate over whether these inflows can help establish support and improve Q2 momentum.

BitMine plans to uplist to the NYSE on 09 April, disclosing that as of 06 April it held 4,803,334 ETH worth about $10.2 billion at a $2,123 price. Ethereum’s exchange supply ratio has fallen to 0.125 while total ETH staked hit a record 38.8 million, tightening liquid supply. ETH’s chart showed mixed momentum: price hovered near $2.1K, open interest rose toward $12.5B, and funding suggested longs were in control.

Ethereum defended the $2,000 level and pushed to a local peak of $2,147, with ETH last quoted near $2,136 after rising 4.81% in 24 hours and 3% over the week. Derivatives activity has led the move, as Binance's spot-to-futures volume ratio fell to 0.13 while futures inflows climbed to $66.9 billion. Spot liquidity weakened alongside reported outflows, keeping the risk of a $2,000–$2,100 consolidation in play.

Ethereum is attempting to stay above $2,150 as on-chain trackers highlighted a large move in the past hour. A newly created wallet withdrew about $82 million worth of ETH from institutional prime brokerage FalconX, drawing attention to who may be behind the transfer. Analysts cited by the report said the wallet's behavior resembles Bitmine's past acquisition patterns, though attribution is not confirmed.

Development data tracked over the past 30 days highlights widening gaps among leading DeFi protocols, with Chainlink (LINK) ranked first and DeepBook (DEEP) second. Key milestones include Swift and major banks completing Chainlink CCIP tokenized-transfer trials on April 5, 2026, Aave V4 launching on Ethereum mainnet on March 30, 2026, and Euler reporting more than $100 million in new deposits across Base, Swell, and Sonic.

Over a four-day trading week, bitcoin spot ETFs ended with net inflows of $22.34 million despite choppy day-to-day moves. Ether ETFs logged $42.15 million in net outflows, while Solana and XRP ETFs also posted weekly redemptions of $5.2 million and $3.56 million.

Ethereum has moved back above $2,100, but Binance market depth appears thinner than earlier in the cycle. CryptoQuant data shows Binance's exchange liquidity ratio near 5.01 and 30-day cumulative turnover around 16.65 million ETH, while reserves sit close to 3.32 million ETH. With participation muted, the same price level may react more sharply if large orders return to the market.
