Crypto funds saw $3.4 billion in inflows last week; Bitcoin the biggest beneficiary

Crypto funds had their biggest week of inflows since mid-December of 2024, bringing in $3.4 billion last week.

Last week’s haul is the third-largest weekly inflow ever, according to the most recent CoinShares report. Bitcoin led these investments with $3.18 billion, while Ethereum ended its eight-week run of outflows after gaining $183 million.

The report indicates that fears over the effects of tariffs on corporate profits and the depreciation of the US dollar are driving investors into digital currencies. Total managed assets in crypto investment products are now at $151.63 billion, of which Bitcoin products account for $132.18 billion.

Bitcoin leads asset flows with $3.18 billion

Bitcoin investment products were the primary beneficiaries of last week’s crypto fund inflows, which totaled $3.18 billion, according to the data. This is 93% of the total weekly inflows across all digital asset investment products. This investment has pushed Bitcoin’s total assets under management to $132.18 billion, a level not seen since late February 2025.

Ethereum occupied the second-largest recipient spot with $183 million in inflow. This is the termination of an eight-week period of uninterrupted outflows. This turning point for ETH products now has them standing at $9.22B in assets under management.

XRP continued to perform well with a total inflow of $31.63 million for the week. The token’s products have accumulated inflows totaling $245.52 million year-to-date, up to $1.05 billion under management.

Sui also showed strength with $20.7 million in inflow for the week. The token’s ETPs have brought in  $72.06 million in year-to-date inflows, now managing total assets of $400.12 million.

Multi-asset investment products had slight inflows of $2.42 million, but are still showing a negative $137.51 million year-to-date flow. Their assets under management now stand at $6.33 billion.

Solana was the only major altcoin to show outflows for the week, losing $5.73 million in inflow. Despite these setbacks, SOL remains with $71.12 million in year-to-date inflows, maintaining $1.4 billion in assets.

Short Bitcoin products saw minor inflows of $1.6 million, though they remain down $29.8 million year-to-date with $81.55 million in assets under management. Litecoin and Cardano products showed no activity for the week, while Pyth registered negligible movement.

iShares ETFs lead provider inflows with $1.5 billion

Looking at the flows by provider, iShares ETF/USA led the pack with $1.51 billion in inflows recently. The performance is a welcome boost to the provider’s $1.28 billion inflows for the month and $4.54 billion for the year. iShares now manages the most crypto investment assets with $58.22 billion.

ARK 21 Shares/USA saw the second-highest weekly inflows of $621.13 million. The sponsor has accumulated $497.11 million month-to-date and $640.04 million year-to-date, with assets under management of $5.03 billion.

Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund was in third place with $573.84 million this week. The fund received $386.23 million to date this month and $143.28 million this year. It has $19.12 billion in assets.

Grayscale Investments LLC/USA, following a history of net outflows, saw inflows of $201.96 million in the week. It is a reprieve from its month-to-date outflows of $83.86 million and year-to-date outflows of $1.38 billion this week.

Bitwise Funds Trust had $129.67 million of weekly inflows, with month-to-date inflows of $98.76 million. The provider has year-to-date outflows of $156.01 million and $3.92 billion of assets under management.

Other notable contributors comprise ProShares ETFs/USA with $52.47 million coming weekly, 21Shares AG with $48.19 million, and CoinShares XBT Provider AB with $3.34 million.

US investors remain primary drivers of crypto fund inflow

The regional breakdown of crypto investment flows reveals that US investors were the primary drivers behind last week’s substantial inflows. According to the CoinShares report, the United States accounted for $3.3 billion of the total $3.4 billion in weekly inflows.

Germany and Switzerland led non-US markets with investments of $51.5 million and $41.4 million, respectively. The CoinShares report indicates that increasing investment in crypto is based on two primary reasons: tariff fears over corporate profits and the decline of the US dollar.

These economic factors appear to be pushing investors away from traditional financial instruments and towards crypto.

Apart from the spot cryptocurrency products, blockchain equities received decent investment to the tune of $17.4 million during the week. According to the report, mining-related ETFs of Bitcoin have received most of such investments.

The overall money inflow is $3.4 billion for the week. It is the highest since mid-December 2024 and the third-highest on record. This level of investment has taken the total assets under management in all digital asset investment products to $151.63 billion.
