Digital asset investment products attracted $286 million in inflows last week, extending a robust seven-week streak that has now brought total inflows to $10.9 billion, according to the latest data from CoinShares.
Leading the charge was Ethereum, which posted $321 million in inflows—its strongest six-week performance since December 2024. The surge signals renewed investor confidence in Ethereum’s long-term potential.
However, the broader sentiment remained cautious as Bitcoin, which had accumulated $9.6 billion in inflows over the previous six weeks, saw a reversal with $8 million in outflows. This shift followed a New York court ruling that declared U.S. tariffs illegal, sparking market-wide uncertainty and price volatility.
Regionally, the United States continued to dominate with $199 million in inflows. However, investor interest expanded globally, with Germany attracting $42.9 million, Australia drawing $21.5 million, and Hong Kong experiencing a standout week with $54.8 million—its strongest since launching crypto-based exchange-traded products. In contrast, Switzerland recorded outflows of $32.8 million, maintaining a year-to-date net negative flow.
Supporting the broader narrative of increased market activity, derivatives data from Coinglass revealed that open interest climbed 2% to $3.98 billion, while derivatives trading volume rose 18% to $3.45 billion.
Despite the fresh capital inflows, total assets under management (AuM) fell from a record $187 billion to $177 billion. CoinShares attributed the drop to price corrections triggered by recent market instability.
Meanwhile, performance among other crypto assets was mixed. XRP saw its second straight week of outflows, totaling $28.2 million, while blockchain equity exchange-traded products remained largely flat, with investor focus concentrated on primary digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
However, Ethereum’s upward trajectory may be slowing. Bybit recently reported that while ETH outperformed Bitcoin over the past two weeks, its weekly gains have begun to taper. Despite delivering a 69% return over the past month, sentiment in the options market is cooling. The narrowing gap between call and put options—now just $30 million.
