Last week, digital asset investment products attracted $3.3 billion in inflows, marking the sixth consecutive week of gains. Here is a detailed analysis:
Total assets reaching a record high: According to CoinShares’ latest weekly data, this brought total inflows over the past six weeks to $10.5 billion and year – to – date (YTD) flows to a record $10.8 billion. Investor demand has pushed total assets under management in crypto exchange – traded products (ETPs) to briefly hit a record $187.5 billion.
Bitcoin – backed products leading the way: Bitcoin – backed products dominated market flows, pulling in $2.9 billion last week alone. This figure represents a quarter of all inflows for 2025 so far and raises Bitcoin’s year – to – date total to $10.1 billion. Collectively, Bitcoin ETPs now manage close to $160 billion in assets. The latest market rally also sparked renewed interest in shorting Bitcoin. Investment products betting against the price of BTC recorded $12.7 million in inflows, their highest since December 2024.
Ethereum products maintaining strong momentum: Ethereum products also maintained strong momentum, registering $326 million in weekly inflows. This marks ETH’s fifth week of gains, boosted by market optimism surrounding the Pectra upgrade, which went live earlier this month. This month, Ethereum – related investment funds have drawn net inflows of around $568 million.
XRP experiencing historic outflows: While Bitcoin and Ethereum ETPs soared, XRP investment products experienced historic losses. XRP saw $37.2 million in outflows last week, the largest on record, snapping an 80 – week streak of inflows. This came even as institutional participation grew, mainly due to XRP futures contracts launching on CME Group’s platform.
Modest activity in other altcoins: Most altcoins saw modest activity. Solana products attracted $4.3 million in inflows, while Sui products recorded $2.3 million despite a DeFi exploit on its network.
The growing concerns over the US economy, driven by Moody’s downgrade and the resulting spike in Treasury yields, have prompted investors to seek diversification through digital assets.
