Bitcoin and Ethereum Dominate Weekly Crypto Inflows
Bitcoin attracted the bulk of investment, registering $1.1 billion in weekly inflows. This marks its second consecutive week of strength, even as prices corrected early in the week.
CoinShares reported that short Bitcoin products recorded only $1.4 million in outflows, suggesting confidence in long positions. Ethereum followed with $124 million, continuing a nine-week inflow streak that now totals $2.2 billion. This marks the asset’s strongest accumulation cycle since mid-2021.

Regionally, the United States led with $1.25 billion in net inflows. Canada and Germany also contributed modestly, adding $20.9 million and $10.9 million, respectively. However, Hong Kong and Switzerland recorded outflows of $32.6 million and $7.7 million, reflecting local investor caution or profit-taking.
Alva, a market analytics firm, noted that institutions are turning to Bitcoin as a digital gold hedge. They also pointed to Ethereum’s critical role in decentralized finance, calling it a foundation asset for risk-tolerant portfolios.
Solana and XRP Also Attract Institutional Interest
Beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, other assets saw moderate demand. Solana gained $2.78 million in weekly inflows, while XRP saw $2.69 million. These movements suggest that while core assets dominate, alternative tokens continue to attract niche capital allocations.
CoinShares observed that although inflow momentum slowed during the latter part of the week, the overall trend remains bullish. The timing coincided with the U.S. Juneteenth holiday and emerging geopolitical developments.
Despite ongoing global risks, digital assets continue to draw institutional capital. With $15.1 billion in total inflows so far in 2024, the year is on track to set new records. While sentiment remains cautious, the consistency of inflows points to a deepening role for crypto in modern portfolios.
The current trend suggests that in uncertain times, digital assets are no longer on the fringe; they’re becoming a fixture in capital strategy.
