Crypto Funds Reach Record $167B in May Inflows

  • Crypto fund inflows hit $7.05B in May

  • Total AUM rose to a record $167B

  • Investors move away from U.S. assets amid market volatility

In May, crypto investment funds experienced a remarkable surge, pulling in $7.05 billion in net inflows — the highest since December. This boost pushed the total assets under management (AUM) in crypto funds to an all-time high of $167 billion, signaling a renewed wave of confidence in digital assets.

This sharp increase reflects a broader shift in investor sentiment, as many seek to hedge against traditional market volatility and reduce exposure to U.S.-based financial assets.

Additionally, the rebound in risk appetite has led to greater interest in volatile but potentially high-return investments — a space where cryptocurrencies excel. Institutional players are re-entering the space, suggesting long-term faith in the market’s future growth.

This trend suggests a maturation of the crypto fund market, where capital flows are no longer just reactive but also strategic and forward-looking. The continued inflow could also drive
