Digital Asset Investment Products Record Fifth Consecutive Week of Positive Inflows, Signaling Sustained Investor Interest

According to CoinShares, inflows into crypto-related investment vehicles totaled $785 million in the past week. This brings year-to-date inflows to $7.5 billion, officially surpassing the previous record of $7.2 billion.

Digital asset investment products have recorded their fifth consecutive week of positive inflows, signaling sustained investor interest in crypto assets despite lingering macroeconomic uncertainty.

According to CoinShares, inflows into crypto-related investment vehicles totaled $785 million in the past week. This brings year-to-date inflows to $7.5 billion, officially surpassing the previous record of $7.2 billion set in February 2024.

Ethereum (ETH) Gains Momentum While Solana (SOL) Sees Minor Setback

Among major cryptocurrencies, Ethereum was a key driver, pulling in €205 million, as investors responded to the successful deployment of the Pectra upgrade and leadership changes at the Ethereum Foundation.

“This saw Tomasz Stańczak appointed as co-executive director of the Ethereum Foundation, and brings to an end the search for a successor to Guillaume Pétrie, who stepped down earlier this year,” explained James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares.

These developments appear to have renewed investor optimism around Ethereum’s technical roadmap and long-term viability, contributing to the sustained inflows into Ethereum-based investment products.

Bitcoin (BTC), while remaining the dominant asset class, saw a slight decrease in weekly inflows, pulling in €557 million compared to the previous week’s activity. This minor setback could be attributed to hawkish commentary from the US Federal Reserve regarding interest rate policy, which may have influenced investor sentiment.

“Furthermore, short-Bitcoin investment products saw their fourth consecutive week of inflows, to the tune of €5.8 million. This suggests that some investors are remaining cautious, hedging their exposure amid continued price fluctuations in the Bitcoin market,” added Butterfill.

While most major digital assets posted net inflows for the week, Solana was the only listed exchange-traded product (ETP) to record net outflows, with €890,000 exiting the market. This could reflect profit-taking following its earlier price surge or changing investor sentiment in response to recent developments within the Solana ecosystem.

Asia Shows Renewed Interest As Regional Trends Diverge

The current year-to-date figure represents a full recovery from the nearly €7 billion in outflows experienced during the February–March correction, highlighting a rebound in investor confidence in the digital asset sector.

However, fund flows varied widely by region, suggesting differing investor timelines, access to spot ETF products, or regulatory climates may be impacting capital allocation.

The United States led with €681 million in inflows, followed by Germany with €86.3 million and Hong Kong with €24.2 million, marking its largest inflow since November 2024.

On the other hand, Sweden saw €16.3 million in redemptions, while Canada and Brazil recorded €13.5 million and €3.9 million in outflows, respectively.

Overall, the sustained return of institutional capital into digital asset funds indicates a growing acceptance of crypto as a mainstream asset class.

With Ethereum leading the rebound and regional interest shifting, the coming weeks will likely provide further insight into how macroeconomic policies and blockchain-specific developments influence capital allocation across the crypto market.
