US cryptocurrency investment products have attracted over $7.5 billion in investments in 2025, showing continuous net inflows for the fifth consecutive week last week, indicating sustained demand for digital assets from investors.
According to a report released by digital asset management firm CoinShares on May 19, US-based cryptocurrency investment products attracted $785 million in funds last week, pushing the total investment scale for the year to date (YTD) over the $7.5 billion mark.
This latest data marks the fifth consecutive week of net inflows into the market, reversing the nearly $7 billion large-scale outflow seen in February and March.
The United States dominated this round of capital inflows, totaling $681 million, followed by Germany with inflows of $86.3 million, and Hong Kong recorded inflows of $24.4 million.
Following the White House's announcement on May 12 to suspend additional tariffs for 90 days, investor demand for risk assets like cryptocurrencies showed a significant rebound. This policy adjustment resulted in a 24% reduction in import tariffs between the US and China.
According to the analysis by André Dragosch, Head of European Research at Bitwise, Coinbase recorded a net outflow of 9,739 bitcoins (BTC) worth over $1 billion on the day following the announcement of this policy—marking the largest single-day net outflow of 2025 so far, clearly indicating that institutional investment demand is 'accelerating'.
Ethereum (ETH) performed the best among cryptocurrency investment products, attracting $205 million in inflows last week. This brings its total inflow year-to-date to over $575 million.
The report highlights that the strong inflow of $200 million is primarily attributed to the successful implementation of the Pectra upgrade and the appointment of new co-CEO Tomasz Stańczak, both of which boosted investor confidence.
After an initial delay, Ethereum's Pectra upgrade officially launched on the mainnet on May 7, introducing several technical improvements, including higher staking limits and account abstraction features enabled by EIP-7702.
In stark contrast to other mainstream crypto assets, Solana (SOL) investment products became the only major asset to experience net outflows, totaling $890,000 in withdrawals over the past week.
Meanwhile, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin released a proposal aimed at protecting Ethereum's trustless, censorship-resistant access capabilities, with the goal of making Ethereum's layer one scaling solutions 'more user-friendly' for users running local nodes.
"The plan will significantly reduce the data burden by allowing nodes to sync only relevant information, thus opening the door for broader community participation," said Nexo Dispatch editor Stella Zlatareva in an interview with Cointelegraph.
