Crypto Fund Flows Weekly Report: $15.1B YTD Inflows Led by BTC, ETH
Crypto investment products continue to attract significant capital inflows, with $1.24 billion added in the latest week, marking the 10th consecutive week of positive flows, according to the latest data from CoinShares. This brings year-to-date (YTD) inflows to a record $15.1 billion, underscoring strong institutional and retail investor confidence in digital assets.
Bitcoin and Ethereum Dominate Weekly Inflows
Bitcoin (BTC) accounted for the bulk of last week’s inflows, recording $1.1 billion. This comes despite recent price volatility and geopolitical headwinds, including renewed Middle East tensions. The data suggests investors are "buying the dip," interpreting market weakness as a buying opportunity.
Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) posted its ninth straight week of inflows, totaling $124 million. The cumulative inflow during this streak now stands at $2.2 billion, making it the longest run of ETH inflows since mid-2021 — a clear sign of renewed institutional confidence in Ethereum amid ETF approval discussions and upcoming staking developments.
Outflows from short-Bitcoin products totaled $1.4 million, further highlighting the market’s bullish positioning on the long side.
Regional Flows: U.S. Dominates, Hong Kong Sees Largest Outflows
The United States continues to dominate regional inflows with $1.25 billion entering U.S.-based digital asset funds. Canada and Germany followed with more modest inflows of $20.9 million and $10.9 million, respectively.
However, Hong Kong saw outflows of $32.6 million, the highest among all regions, while Switzerland recorded $7.7 million in outflows. The divergence highlights varying investor sentiment across jurisdictions, possibly influenced by local regulatory outlooks or geopolitical risk factors, including reports of U.S. involvement in Iran-related tensions.
Altcoins Also See Modest Gains
While Bitcoin and Ethereum dominated the headlines, select altcoins also saw continued institutional interest:
Solana (SOL): $2.78 million in inflows
XRP: $2.69 million in inflows
These numbers indicate that select altcoins are still attracting allocation from fund managers despite broader market caution.
Despite macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical risks, institutional demand for digital asset investment products remains resilient. With Bitcoin and Ethereum leading inflows, and YTD totals surpassing $15 billion, the data points to sustained long-term confidence in crypto assets as part of diversified portfolios.
