Crypto investment products recorded $1.9 billion in inflows last week according to CoinShares. This performance marks the ninth consecutive week of inflows and brings the annual record to $13.2 billion.
Despite geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, digital assets are holding strong and attracting institutional capital alongside gold.
Bitcoin rebounds with $1.3 billion, Ethereum maintains its momentum.
After two weeks of minor outflows, Bitcoin experienced a spectacular rebound with $1.3 billion in inflows. This recovery confirms institutional appetite for the king of crypto despite recent volatility. Coinshares data is clear, everything is green for digital gold and its vassals, nothing stops this liquidity vacuum.
Short-bitcoin products also recorded modest inflows of $3.7 million, although assets under management remain low at $96 million. A delta that justifies, beyond other products, the rebound from $102,000 to nearly $109,000.
Ethereum maintains its positive momentum with $583 million in inflows last week. This is the highest inflow since February, including the largest daily influx during this period.
This latest series brings the cumulative inflows for the year to $2.2 billion, representing 14% of assets under management in ETH.
Moreover, this nine-week consecutive run brings the total inflows to $12.9 billion. Investors seem to be disregarding geopolitical concerns to focus on long-term crypto fundamentals.
Since the pause, these inflows have allowed the price to explode and rise from $70,000 to today $107,000 and a record of $111,980.
The United States dominates, altcoins regain interest.
Regionally, investor sentiment was largely positive. The United States leads logically with $1.9 billion in inflows, followed by Switzerland, Germany, and Canada with $20.7 million, $39.2 million, and $12.1 million in inflows respectively.
In contrast, however, the pioneers Hong Kong and Brazil experienced outflows of $56.8 million and $8.5 million respectively.
After three weeks of outflows, XRP saw $11.8 million in inflows, while Sui recorded an additional $3.5 million.
These movements suggest a renewed selective interest in certain altcoins after a period of consolidation.
Indeed, this resilience of digital assets in the face of geopolitical tensions demonstrates their growing maturity.
Institutional investors continue to view cryptocurrencies as a viable asset class for portfolio diversification, even amidst global uncertainty. With a total of $179.1 billion in AUM in institutional products, this part of the ecosystem can no longer be ignored.
Indeed, it represents about 5% of the total market capitalization. The trend has accelerated rapidly since the approval of US ETFs. It is unlikely to slow down, especially with the arrival of new ETFs for XRP, SOL, etc.
