JPMorgan: Crypto Inflows Plunge to $11 Billion in Q1 2026

JPMorgan reported a significant slowdown in cryptocurrency market inflows during the first quarter of 2026, totaling just $11 billion. This figure represents a sharp decline, accounting for approximately one-third of the flows recorded during the same period last year. The slowdown follows a record-breaking 2025, where total inflows reached $130 billion, leading to previous expectations of continued growth. Analysts attributed the drop to extreme market volatility and geopolitical tensions, alongside shifting Federal Reserve expectations. These macroeconomic factors have cooled investor appetite for risk assets, impacting major instruments like BTC and ETH. The data confirms a substantial reduction in liquidity and buying pressure, validating recent price corrections across the digital asset space.
