JPMorgan: Q1 crypto fund flows dropped to $11 billion, only one-third of last year's amount
JPMorgan analysis indicates that the capital flow of digital assets in the first quarter of 2026 is approximately $11 billion, only about one-third of the same period last year, showing a significant slowdown in market momentum.
At the current annualized pace, the total capital flow for the year may be around $44 billion, far below the historical peak of about $130 billion in 2025. In terms of capital structure, the main sources of inflow this quarter are corporate balance sheet allocations (especially companies like Strategy continuously buying btc-42">Bitcoin) and crypto venture capital, while participation from traditional investors (including institutions and retail investors) has significantly declined. Additionally, CME Bitcoin futures positions have weakened, reflecting a negative shift in institutional demand; spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs experienced capital outflows in January, and although there was some inflow in March, the overall trend remains weak. The analysis suggests that the current market exhibits a structure characterized by "a few large funds dominating," rather than a broad capital return.
