Crypto Investment Products Continued to Attract Capital

input: The data revealed that inflows totaled $882 million globally last week, bringing year-to-date figures to $6.7 billion—just shy of the previous peak of $7.3 billion

Crypto investment products continued to attract capital for the fourth consecutive week, according to the latest weekly report from CoinShares, a European-based asset manager focused on digital assets.

The report, released on Monday, revealed that inflows totaled $882 million globally last week. This brings year-to-date figures to $6.7 billion, placing it just shy of the previous peak of $7.3 billion recorded in early February 2025.

Bitcoin Led Inflows; Sui Overtakes Solana

Among individual coins, Bitcoin remains the dominant choice for investors, with an influx of $867 million last week alone. This follows a triple-digit million dollar inflow reported for the previous week.

Moreover, US-listed Bitcoin ETFs crossed a new milestone with cumulative net inflows of $62.9 billion since their debut in January 2024. This surpasses the previous high of $61.6 billion from earlier this year, rolling over the role of institutional vehicles in driving Bitcoin demand.

In contrast, Ethereum’s performance was relatively subdued despite recent price appreciation. ETH products recorded only $1.5 million in inflows for the week, a marginal figure compared to Bitcoin.

However, the report highlights a strong performance by alternative layer-1 protocol Sui, which saw an influx of $11.7 million. This pushes Sui’s year-to-date total to $84 million, eclipsing Solana’s $76 million. Notably, Solana saw $3.4 million in outflows over the same period, suggesting a rotation of capital into newer blockchain networks.

The ongoing rise in capital allocations comes amid a backdrop of rising macroeconomic uncertainty. CoinShares’ Head of Research, James Butterfill, attributes the surge in digital asset inflows to several converging factors.

These include a global increase in M2 money supply, concerns over stagflation in the United States, and recent policy moves by US states recognizing Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset. The combination of these developments appears to be reinforcing institutional interest in crypto exposure.

CoinShares Report: Institutional Capital Flows into Crypto Continue with Record Peaks

According to the latest CoinShares report, institutional capital continued to flow into crypto products for the fourth consecutive week, even as macroeconomic uncertainty persists. Inflows totaled $882 million globally last week, bringing year-to-date figures to $6.7 billion, nearly reaching the previous peak of $7.3 billion seen in early February.

Bitcoin (BTC) remains the preferred choice among investors, with an influx of $867 million last week alone. This follows a triple-digit million dollar inflow reported for the previous week.

Its strong performance also drove a new milestone for US-listed Bitcoin ETFs, which crossed a new high with cumulative net inflows of $62.9 billion since their debut in January 2024. This surpasses the previous peak of $61.6 billion from earlier this year, rolling over the role of institutional vehicles in driving Bitcoin demand.

In contrast, Ethereum (ETH) saw limited inflows of $1.5 million despite recent price gains. This contrasts sharply with Bitcoin’s inflows, suggesting that investors are currently more interested in BTC over the second-largest cryptocurrency.

However, the report highlights a strong performance by alternative layer-1 protocol Sui, which saw an influx of $11.7 million. This pushes Sui’s year-to-date total to $84 million, eclipsing Solana’s $76 million. Notably, Solana saw $3.4 million in outflows over the same period, suggesting a rotation of capital into newer blockchain networks.

The persistent inflow into crypto comes as no surprise given the backdrop of macroeconomic uncertainty. Butterfill ascribes the surge in digital asset inflows to several converging factors.

These include a global increase in M2 money supply, concerns over stagflation in the United States, and recent policy moves by US states to recognize Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset. The combination of these developments appears to be reinforcing institutional interest in crypto exposure.

The report also notes that the U.S. led all markets with inflows of $840 million, while Germany saw inflows of $44.5 million and Australia saw inflows of $10.2 million. By contrast, Canada and Hong Kong posted outflows of $8 million and $4.3 million, respectively.

The geographical divergence may reflect varying levels of investor sentiment, regulatory clarity, and institutional product availability across jurisdictions.

The report concludes by noting that institutional investors are increasingly considering digital assets as a hedge against fiat depreciation and economic volatility, a view that is being reinforced by developments such as state-level legislation in the U.S. acknowledging Bitcoin as a reserve asset and the broader uptick in fiat liquidity.

While Bitcoin continues to dominate flows, the performance of newer assets such as Sui highlights growing interest in blockchain infrastructure alternatives. If this trend persists, fund managers may increasingly diversify beyond the traditional top two digital assets in
