In April 2026, digital asset exchange-traded products (ETPs) saw their first monthly gain of the year, with assets under management (AUM) rising 11.5% to $136.4 billion from March's $122.4 billion, according to Fineqia International Inc. This recovery followed a sharp sell-off in the first quarter and outpaced the broader digital asset market, which grew 8.3% to $2.63 trillion. Bitcoin-backed ETPs led the growth, increasing 12.1% in AUM, closely tracking Bitcoin's 12.2% price rise to $76,305. Despite this positive momentum, total crypto ETP AUM remains down 16.9% year-to-date, highlighting ongoing market volatility. The key factor to watch is whether this rebound will lead to sustained inflows or remain price-driven after early 2026 losses.
