Digital Asset Products Attract $3.4B Inflows as Bitcoin Leads Rally and Ethereum Rebounds

Digital Asset Products saw a remarkable resurgence last week, with investment vehicles pulling in a substantial $3.4 billion in inflows, marking the third-largest weekly total ever recorded, according to CoinShares.

Bitcoin dominated the movement, attracting $3.18 billion alone, while Ethereum ended its eight-week outflow streak by securing $183 million in fresh investments.

At the same time, Solana emerged as an exception among altcoins, recording $5.7 million in outflows while others like XRP and Sui posted notable gains.

The renewed wave of capital inflows aligned with a downturn in the gold market, where prices fell sharply after hitting recent peaks.

Adding to the bullish momentum, whale activity intensified, highlighted by large OTC transactions, including a reported $110 million acquisition of Bitcoin and Ethereum, which further boosted market confidence.

Bitcoin Leads the Charge as Safe-Haven Demand Sparks $3.18B Inflows

Bitcoin emerged as the clear powerhouse behind last week’s surge in digital asset investments, attracting an impressive $3.18 billion in inflows and contributing the lion’s share of the total $3.4 billion influx.

This sharp uptick not only wiped out the outflows that had accumulated since early April, but also propelled Bitcoin’s year-to-date (YTD) inflows to a robust $3.7 billion.

The rally was largely fueled by growing macroeconomic pressures, including fears over tariff impacts on corporate earnings and a rapidly weakening U.S. dollar, which sent investors scrambling toward safer alternatives.

Widely regarded as “digital gold,” Bitcoin naturally became a prime choice for those seeking a hedge against traditional market instability.

Adding to the momentum, Bitcoin’s price staged a strong recovery, breaching the $90,000 mark last week, its highest level since March, and inching closer to the $95,000 level.

This marked the highest weekly inflow into U.S. Bitcoin ETFs in the past five months, and the second-highest on record.

Another major catalyst was the surge in U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF activity, which accounted for over $3 billion of the week’s total inflows.

Blockchain-focused equities also benefitted, with Bitcoin mining ETFs pulling in an additional $17.4 million in fresh investments.

Ethereum Breaks Out of Slump as XRP and Sui Attract Strong Inflows, While Solana Falters

While Bitcoin captured much of the spotlight, Ethereum quietly staged an impressive comeback last week.

After facing eight straight weeks of outflows, Ethereum-based investment products welcomed $183 million in new capital, signaling a fresh wave of investor confidence.

Much of this positive shift was fueled by U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs, which contributed $157.1 million, marking their first weekly net inflow since February.

The bullish momentum extended beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. XRP products saw significant interest, recording $31.6 million in inflows, likely driven by hopes for regulatory clarity and increasing institutional backing.

Meanwhile, Sui (SUI) funds posted $20.7 million in inflows, highlighting growing enthusiasm for emerging blockchain projects.

However, not all altcoins shared the positive sentiment. Solana stood out for the wrong reasons, with $5.7 million in outflows, making it the only major altcoin to experience net losses last week.

Regionally, U.S. investors led the way with $3.3 billion in total inflows, but enthusiasm extended globally. Germany and Switzerland contributed $51.5 million and $41.4 million, respectively, while Australia, Sweden, and Hong Kong also posted smaller yet positive inflow figures.

On the issuer front, BlackRock’s iShares ETFs topped the charts, pulling in a massive $1.5 billion. ARK and Fidelity followed closely behind, attracting $621 million and $574 million, respectively.

Meanwhile, some established players like Grayscale, ProShares, and CoinShares continued to report month-to-date outflows, suggesting a shift by investors toward newer or better-performing offerings.

Overall, last week’s market activity reflected a strong rebound in sentiment, with investors showing renewed appetite for digital products.
If momentum holds, the coming weeks could deliver even greater inflows and stronger market valuations across major crypto investment vehicles.
