Fact Check
The available evidence from search results consistently points to a CoinShares report, "Digital asset fund flows | March 16th 2026 - CoinShares," showing about $1.06 billion in weekly inflows into digital asset products, with Bitcoin leading and Ethereum posting notably strong inflows. Independent reporting in "US-based crypto funds lead $1 billion in weekly inflows as positive streak extends to three weeks: CoinShares" and "Crypto Funds See $1B Inflows Despite Global Tensions" aligns with that overall picture. "Ethereum leads crypto fund inflows with $315M in $1.06B week" also supports the Ethereum-specific portion. However, in this run I could not validate the exact article or primary page content via web_fetch, and the available snippets do not clearly confirm the precise claim that XRP funds recorded their strongest inflow levels in months. So the broad statement about strong crypto ETF/fund inflows led by Bitcoin is likely true, but the XRP detail remains only partially supported.
Summary
Digital asset investment products recorded about $1.4 billion in net inflows last week, marking the strongest weekly total since January. Bitcoin-focused products attracted $1.116 billion, while Ethereum products added $328 million. Regional flows were led by the United States with $1.5 billion in inflows, while Switzerland registered $138 million in net outflows.
