Digital asset inflows hit $3.3 billion last week, setting a new record of $10.8 billion YTD, driven by Bitcoin’s strong performance, according to CoinShares.

Surge in Digital Asset Inflows

In a significant development for the digital asset market, inflows reached a remarkable $3.3 billion last week, pushing the year-to-date (YTD) total to an unprecedented $10.8 billion, as reported by CoinShares. The surge in inflows has also propelled the total assets under management (AuM) to a peak of $187.5 billion, a new all-time high.

Bitcoin Dominates Inflows

Bitcoin (BTC) emerged as the frontrunner, attracting $2.9 billion in inflows. This substantial amount represents a quarter of the total inflows recorded for 2024. Interestingly, short-Bitcoin products also saw significant interest, with $12.7 million in inflows, marking the highest weekly inflow since December 2024.

Ethereum and XRP Trends

Ethereum (ETH) continued its positive trend, garnering $326 million in inflows, the most in 15 weeks. This marks the fifth consecutive week of gains for Ethereum, reflecting improving market sentiment. Conversely, XRP experienced a setback as its 80-week inflow streak ended with a record outflow of $37.2 million.

Global Investment Patterns

The United States led the global inflow figures, contributing $3.2 billion. Other regions, including Germany, Australia, and Hong Kong, also showed substantial investments with $41.5 million, $10.9 million, and $33.3 million respectively. Meanwhile, Swiss investors opted to capitalize on recent price gains, resulting in $16.6 million in outflows.

Analysts suggest that the inflows are partly driven by investor concerns over the US economy, following Moody’s downgrade and a subsequent rise in treasury yields. This has led to a diversification strategy favoring digital assets, which are perceived as a hedge against traditional economic uncertainties.
