Crypto Market Logs $1.4B Inflows in Best Week Since January

Global cryptocurrency investment products recorded $1.4 billion in net inflows last week, extending a three-week streak of gains and signaling a recovery in investor confidence after a volatile start to the year.

The inflows, tracked by CoinShares, were driven by easing geopolitical tensions and a rebound in Bitcoin, which climbed above the $76,000 level during the period.

Strongest Weekly Inflows Since January

The latest figure marks the strongest weekly inflow since January, surpassing the previous week’s $1.1 billion and highlighting a shift in market sentiment.

According to CoinShares’ head of research, the surge reflects a renewed appetite for risk among investors, supported by improving macro conditions and stabilizing geopolitical dynamics, particularly around US-Iran relations.

Notably, recent inflation data from the United States had limited impact on investor positioning, suggesting that sentiment is currently being driven more by market momentum and external developments than by traditional economic indicators.

Assets Under Management Climb Sharply

Alongside the inflows, total assets under management (AUM) in crypto investment products rose to $154.8 billion, with weekly inflows representing approximately 0.9% of total assets, the highest ratio recorded this year.

Month-to-date inflows have reached $2.3 billion, reinforcing the strength of the current upward trend.

Bitcoin Dominates Institutional Demand

Products linked to Bitcoin accounted for the majority of inflows, attracting $1.12 billion over the week. This brings total year-to-date inflows into Bitcoin investment products to $3.08 billion, underscoring its continued dominance among institutional investors.

The data suggests that Bitcoin remains the primary gateway for institutional exposure to digital assets, even as interest in other cryptocurrencies grows.

Mixed Performance Across Altcoins

Ethereum-based products also posted strong performance, recording $328 million in inflows, their highest level since January. Year-to-date inflows into Ethereum products have now reached $197 million.

However, other digital assets showed more mixed results. Products tied to XRP experienced $56.2 million in outflows, while those linked to Solana saw modest withdrawals of $2.3 million.

Meanwhile, smaller inflows were recorded in diversified crypto products, as well as tokens such as Sui and Chainlink, indicating selective interest beyond the two largest cryptocurrencies.

United States Leads Global Demand

Geographically, the United States remained the dominant source of inflows, contributing $1.49 billion over the week.

German investment products added $28 million, while Switzerland stood out with $137.8 million in outflows, marking its largest weekly withdrawal since November and highlighting diverging regional trends.

Confidence Returns, but Caution Remains

The sustained inflows point to a gradual return of confidence in the digital asset market, though investor behavior suggests a measured approach.

Ongoing, albeit smaller, inflows into short Bitcoin products indicate that hedging strategies remain in place, reflecting caution amid lingering macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties.
