Crypto investment activity slowed significantly in the first quarter of 2026, with total inflows estimated at around 11 billion dollars, far below last year’s pace. When annualized, this trend suggests roughly $44 billion, compared to $130 billion in 2025. Most new capital came from corporate Bitcoin purchases and venture funding, while retail and institutional participation remained weak. Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs recorded net outflows, and miners continued selling holdings, reflecting cautious market sentiment.
