Bitcoin, Ethereum Lead Surge as Investors Seek Alternatives Amid Dollar Weakness
Digital asset investment products recorded $3.4 billion in inflows last week, marking the third-largest weekly inflow on record, according to the latest Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report (Volume 231).
This is the highest inflow since mid-December 2024 and reflects a growing shift among investors toward cryptocurrencies as alternative safe havens, amid concerns over tariff impacts on corporate earnings and the dramatic weakening of the U.S. dollar.
Bitcoin and Ethereum Dominate Inflows
Bitcoin (BTC) investment products were the primary beneficiaries, attracting $3.18 billion in inflows last week. As a result, the total assets under management (AuM) for Bitcoin investment products surged to $132 billion, a level not seen since late February 2025.
Ethereum (ETH) investment products also showed a notable reversal, registering $183 million in inflows after enduring eight consecutive weeks of outflows.
In contrast, Solana (SOL) was the only major altcoin to experience outflows, losing $5.7 million over the same period.
Other notable inflow highlights:
XRP investment products: +$31.6 million
Sui investment products: +$20.7 million
Blockchain-related equities, particularly bitcoin mining ETFs, also recorded $17.4 million in inflows.
