Crypto funds have attracted $286 million in weekly inflows according to CoinShares data. This extends the current streak to seven weeks with $11 billion total accumulation.
Ethereum-led crypto funds saw $296.4 million in weekly inflows. It has experienced seven consecutive weeks of bullish investor sentiment. ETH-linked funds’ recent run has now extended its current inflow streak to $1.5 billion in total inflows over the same period.
The week’s haul places Ethereum at 10.5% of assets under management in digital investment products. This concentration is a reflection of Ethereum’s rebound from earlier phases of diminished institutional confidence as well as regulatory uncertainty.
CoinShares data marks this as Ethereum’s strongest inflow on record since the US election in November. The seven-week trend indicates sustained institutional conviction over short-term speculation as the driving force behind the deployment boost.
Bitcoin faces second week of outflows amid policy uncertainty
Bitcoin experienced its second consecutive week of outflows with $56.5 million, overshadowed by Ethereum’s performance in the same period. Monthly outflows for the month totaled $57 million.
Policy uncertainty regarding Federal Reserve actions kept institutional investors on the sidelines and propelled Bitcoin’s adverse flow trend. Short-bitcoin products also experienced their second week in a row of outflows that reflected reduced bearish positioning by institutional investors.
Although there have been net outflows in recent periods, Bitcoin still has significant assets under management at $151.2 billion of investment products. Year-to-date flows are positive at $10.1 billion.
Bitcoin’s recent behavior differs from the seven-week cumulative influx trend that governs the entire cryptocurrency universe. The deviation means that investors are rotating and choosing among cryptos, but not necessarily leaving digital assets.
Regional distribution shows US leadership in crypto funds
The United States led global inflows with $175 million and accounted for the majority of weekly digital asset investment activity. Germany followed with $47.8 million in inflows, while Switzerland contributed $15.7 million to the positive trend. Canada and Australia rounded out the major contributors with $9.8 million and $6.5 million, respectively.
Minor outflows were reported in Brazil at $9.2 million and Hong Kong at $14.6 million, with the latter ending a period of record inflows in the region. Altcoin activity remained subdued compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum movements.
Sui had tiny inflows of $1.1 million, and XRP endured its ongoing downtrend with outflows of $6.6 million. This is the third consecutive week that investors have been taking money out of the crypto.
Multi-asset products experienced $6.58 million of outflows for the week and $142.12 million year-to-date outflows. Solana experienced minimal outflows of $2.09 million, and Cardano experienced minimal outflows of $0.4 million.
High activity concentration in Bitcoin and Ethereum contrasts with low altcoin movement. This suggests institutional investors want to maintain concentration on established digital assets and avoid diversifying into general crypto exposure under prevailing market conditions.
