The latest report from CoinShares reveals a surge in institutional interest, with crypto asset investment products witnessing a record-breaking $2.2 billion in weekly inflows—the highest this year. This impressive performance pushed year-to-date (YTD) inflows to $2.8 billion and brought total assets under management (AuM) to an all-time high of $171 billion. Global ETP trading volumes reached $21 billion, accounting for 34% of the total Bitcoin trading volume on trusted exchanges.
Regional Breakdown and Top Assets
The United States led the charge, contributing $2 billion to last week’s inflows. Switzerland and Canada also reported robust figures, with $89 million and $13 million, respectively. Bitcoin saw a staggering $1.9 billion in inflows, bringing its YTD total to $2.7 billion. Despite positive price movements, short Bitcoin positions recorded minor outflows of $0.5 million, diverging from the typical trend of inflows following price hikes.
Ethereum recovered from earlier outflows with $246 million in new investments. While its YTD performance remains underwhelming compared to Bitcoin, Ethereum’s weekly inflows dwarfed those of Solana, which secured $2.5 million. Meanwhile, XRP continued its impressive streak, attracting $31 million last week and reaching a cumulative inflow of $484 million since November 2024.
Altcoins and Market Movements
Altcoins also saw notable activity. Stellar reported $2.1 million in weekly inflows, while other altcoins experienced varying levels of investor interest. The record-breaking inflows coincided with heightened market enthusiasm surrounding Donald Trump’s inauguration and speculation about potential crypto-friendly policies.
