Digital asset investment products saw a major resurgence last week, recording $2 billion in inflows, according to CoinShares’ latest report. The surge was led by Bitcoin and Ethereum, highlighting a significant market shift in investor sentiment.
This marks the third consecutive week of positive inflows, bringing the year-to-date total to $5.6 billion. CoinShares’ Head of Research, James Butterfill, noted that the reversal from early 2025’s outflows signals growing confidence in the crypto sector. “The recent inflows, totaling $5.5 billion over just three weeks, show a clear pivot in market behavior,” he stated.
Assets under management (AUM) also rose sharply, climbing from $151 billion to $156 billion—the highest level since mid-February. The increase is attributed to both rising crypto asset prices and renewed institutional interest.
Bitcoin Dominates Inflows
Bitcoin was the standout performer, drawing $1.8 billion in inflows last week alone. The leading digital asset reached a multi-week high of $94,000, reinforcing its role as a preferred hedge amid global market uncertainty. In total, Bitcoin investment products have attracted $5.5 billion in 2025, reflecting institutional appetite driven by economic instability, particularly concerns around U.S. trade policy under President Donald Trump.
Despite bullish momentum, short-Bitcoin products also saw inflows of $6.4 million, indicating that some investors remain cautious and are positioning against a potential correction.
Ethereum Sees Continued Strength
Ethereum maintained its upward trend, pulling in $149 million last week. Over the last two weeks, ETH-focused products have recorded $336 million in inflows, pushing its year-to-date total to over $551 million—more than double that of the next-leading altcoin, XRP.
Other altcoins like Solana, XRP, and Tezos saw modest gains, with $6 million, $10.5 million, and $8.2 million in inflows respectively. Meanwhile, blockchain-related equities also experienced renewed investor interest, recording $15.9 million in inflows.
The consistent momentum behind Bitcoin and Ethereum indicates a shift in investor strategy, with traditional and institutional players increasingly viewing crypto as a viable asset class amid broader market volatility.
