Crypto Investment Products See Continued Growth with $864 Million Inflows
Last week, crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) experienced approximately $864 million in inflows, signaling growing investor confidence amidst fluctuating market conditions. The United States led the regional inflows, accounting for roughly $796 million, with Germany and Canada contributing an additional $68.6 million and $26.8 million respectively. These three nations represent nearly 99% of the total year-to-date inflows into digital asset investment vehicles, highlighting regional disparities and investor focus on North American markets.
While some Swiss-listed crypto ETPs faced outflows totaling around $41.4 million for the week, their net flows for the year remained strongly positive at approximately $622.4 million, illustrating sustained investor interest despite short-term fluctuations. This week’s broader trend marks the third consecutive week of inflows, with previous weeks seeing inflows of $716 million and nearly $1 billion respectively, underscoring renewed optimism in the sector.
Bitcoin and Ether Lead in Weekly Capital Flows
Bitcoin investment products attracted about $522 million in the latest week, with short-Bitcoin products experiencing approximately $1.8 million in net outflows. This indicates a cautiously optimistic sentiment shift among traders and institutional investors. Meanwhile, Ethereum-based products saw inflows of roughly $338 million, boosting the total year-to-date inflow to approximately $13.3 billion – a staggering 148% increase from the same period last year.
Other major cryptocurrencies also drew investor attention. Solana recorded weekly inflows of around $65 million, bringing its year-to-date totals to approximately $3.46 billion, reflecting a tenfold increase over last year. XRP similarly attracted capital, with weekly inflows near $46.9 million, pushing its cumulative YTD inflows to about $3.18 billion.
Smaller-cap assets presented mixed results. Aave-linked products saw weekly inflows of $5.9 million, while Chainlink added around $4.1 million. Conversely, Hyperliquid products experienced net outflows of approximately $14.1 million, revealing a cautious approach by some investors regarding lesser-known assets.
Overall, Bitcoin remains the dominant asset in digital asset portfolios, with assets under management reaching about $141.8 billion, compared to $26 billion for Ether. Despite the recent inflows, total Bitcoin ETF holdings are below the $200 billion mark, highlighting the ongoing growth trajectory but also the need for continued confidence restoration among investors.
