The crypto exchange-traded fund market remained resilient throughout the last week, and total assets under management have reached an all-time high of $108.64 billion as of February 17, 2026. The recent seven-day report points to the new capital inflows and the overall investor interest in both Bitcoin and Ethereum-traded funds. The net flow of the week was positive, totaling to $202.89M, indicating that institutional and retail were involved in the crypto market despite the overall crypto market variance.
The assets under management indicates the aggregate market value of funds in its portfolios. The gradual increase to over 108 billion dollars is an indication of the increasing maturity of crypto investment products and its effect on mainstream financial systems.
Bitcoin ETFs Maintain Dominant Position
Bitcoin exchange-traded funds still present the largest proportion of total assets. Bitcoin ETFs, which represent the largest AUM in regulated crypto investment products, control $95.46 billion of the total $108.64 billion AUM. Bitcoin-oriented ETFs registered net inflows of $145.8 million over the past seven days, which led to the majority of the positive performance of the market over the week.
The steady inflows indicate that investors consider Bitcoin as the main point of entry into the digital asset in terms of standard brokerage accounts. Although short-term volatility continues in the spot market, the ETF flows show consistent demand for the most popular crypto structured exposure.
The contribution of Ethereum ETFs to weekly growth was also significant. Funds dedicated to Ethereum have $13.18 billion of assets under management and received $57.0 million of net inflows within the same timeframe. Although Ethereum ETFs are not as large as Bitcoin products, they have gained momentum as more investors are making diversified crypto investments.
Weekly Flow Trends Reflect Cautious Optimism
The seven day flow data indicate alternating inflows and outflows, indicating that investors are still picky on what they allocate. But the net positive flow of more than $202 million in the week indicates that the selling pressure is less than the buying pressure throughout the week.
This trend indicates the reserved optimism in the market. Instead of a sharp accumulation, investors seem to be accumulating gradually. This restrained use of capital is typical of transitional periods in the market especially when the macroeconomic environment and the general mood towards risk are mixed.
The long-term investment into both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs represents a belief in the fundamentals of both assets from a long-term perspective.
Top Funds Showcase Market Concentration
The ETF market is still highly concentrated with large financial funds. The crypto market is led by the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which has assets under management of $52.5 billion and a market capitalization of $52.3 billion. The fund also recorded a trading volume of $2.4 billion which indicates a high level of liquidity and investor interest.
Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) has an AUM of $17.6 billion and a market capitalization of $13.3 billion having a trading volume of $359.6 million. Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC) has assets amounting to $10.7 billion and volume amounting to $300.5 million.
The iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) on the Ethereum side has an asset of $6.5 billion and has a trading value of $626.0 million. ProShares Bitcoin ETF (BITO) completes the top five funds, having AUM of 2.5 billion and volume of 653.4 million. These numbers demonstrate that liquidity and scale are still concentrated among selected issuers.
Institutional Crypto Adoption Continues to Expand
The accomplishment of the $108 billion mark in total assets is a milestone for the industry. It shows that crypto ETFs are no longer considered niche products but are now taking an important role in diversified investment portfolios.
