Digital Asset Investment Products See Continued Inflows as Investor Sentiment Improves
Digital asset investment products recorded another week of inflows as improving sentiment around major cryptocurrencies continues to draw capital back into the market, according to the latest data from CoinShares.
Weekly inflows into digital asset exchange-traded products (ETPs) reached $716 million, lifting total assets under management (AuM) to approximately $180 billion. While this figure remains well below the all-time high of $264 billion, the steady pace of inflows suggests that investor confidence is gradually rebuilding following a volatile period for crypto markets.
Confidence Rebuilds Despite Macro Uncertainty
CoinShares noted that digital asset funds have now posted three consecutive weeks of inflows, describing investor sentiment as “cautious yet increasingly optimistic.” This trend has emerged despite mixed price action following the U.S. Federal Reserve’s recent interest rate cut, which triggered uneven trading activity and divergent sentiment across different assets.
Over the broader reporting period, total inflows reached $864 million, highlighting continued demand for digital asset exposure even as macroeconomic uncertainty persists. According to CoinShares, the data suggests that investors are selectively increasing exposure rather than making broad, high-risk allocations.
United States Leads Regional Inflows
Inflows were geographically widespread but heavily concentrated in a few key markets. The United States led by a wide margin, accounting for $483 million in weekly inflows. Germany followed with $96.9 million, while Canada recorded $80.7 million.
Looking at a longer timeframe, the U.S. continues to dominate investor sentiment, posting $796 million in inflows last week alone. Germany and Canada also remained net positive, with inflows of $68.6 million and $26.8 million, respectively. CoinShares noted that these three countries have driven the majority of digital asset investment demand so far in 2025.
Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP Drive Demand
Bitcoin remained the largest beneficiary in absolute terms, attracting $352 million in weekly inflows. At the same time, short-Bitcoin investment products saw $1.8 million in outflows, signaling a further easing of bearish sentiment.
Despite renewed interest, CoinShares highlighted that Bitcoin has underperformed on a relative basis this year. Year-to-date inflows stand at $27.7 billion, compared with $41 billion during the same period in 2024.
Ethereum continued to close the gap, recording $338 million in weekly inflows and pushing year-to-date inflows to $13.3 billion. This represents a 148% increase compared to 2024, reflecting growing institutional engagement with Ethereum-based investment products.
XRP also stood out, attracting $245 million in inflows, while Chainlink posted a record $52.8 million in weekly inflows—equivalent to 54% of its total assets under management.
Selective Strength Across Altcoins
Beyond the largest cryptocurrencies, altcoin performance remained mixed. Solana’s year-to-date inflows reached $3.5 billion, representing a tenfold increase compared to 2024, even as recent weekly inflows moderated.
Aave and Chainlink recorded more modest weekly inflows of $5.9 million and $4.1 million, respectively. In contrast, Hyperliquid experienced $14.1 million in weekly outflows, underscoring that investor appetite remains selective rather than broad-based.
Market Shows Signs of Stabilization
Overall, CoinShares said the data points to a market that is gradually stabilizing. Capital continues to gravitate toward large-cap and established digital assets, suggesting that while risk appetite remains measured, confidence in the digital asset market is slowly returning.
