Digital Asset Fund Flows Soar to $3.7 B—2nd‑Largest Ever

Last week saw digital asset funds attract a staggering $3.7 billion of inflows—the second-highest weekly total on record—according to CoinShares . This marks the 13th consecutive week of positive flows, pushing total assets under management (AUM) across crypto investment products to an all-time high of $211 billion .

🔍 Highlights by Asset

  • Bitcoin led the charge, drawing $2.7 billion, lifting its AUM to $179.5 billion—now equal to 54 percent of gold-backed ETP AUM .
  • Ethereum followed with nearly $990 million, marking its fourth-largest inflow week and extending to 12 straight weeks of positive net flows .
  • Solana saw $92.6 million in inflows, while XRP registered outflows totaling $104 million .

🌍 Regional Distribution and Trading Volumes

  • The U.S.–listed products accounted for virtually all of the net inflows, totaling the full $3.7 billion, while Germany and Sweden faced outflows; Switzerland and Canada had minor inflows .
  • Exchange-traded product (ETP) trading volumes doubled, reaching approximately $29 billion, about twice their typical weekly level .

📊 What It Means

  • These inflows underscore significant institutional belief in cryptocurrency as a mainstream asset class, validated by sustained and growing fund allocations.
  • Bitcoin’s AUM nearing parity with gold ETPs signals that many investors now view it as “digital gold,” capable of fulfilling similar portfolio roles .
  • Ethereum’s complementary strength shows that investors are also confident in the potential of smart contract ecosystems—possibly at a faster pace than Bitcoin in relative terms .

⚠️ Key Watchpoints

  • With 13 straight weeks of inflows, momentum is strong, but record levels often precede consolidation.
  • Next week’s institutional flow data and on-chain metrics will be pivotal in confirming whether this trend is sustainable or nearing a peak.
