Crypto Funds Record Largest Weekly Inflows Since Oct 2025 as Bitcoin Leads $2.17B Rally
Crypto asset investment products posted $2.17 billion in net inflows last week — the strongest weekly intake since October 2025 — led by Bitcoin. According to CoinShares, Bitcoin products attracted $1.55 billion while Ethereum drew $496 million. Major altcoins also saw demand: XRP $69.5 million, Solana $45.5 million, SUI $5.7 million, Lido $3.7 million and Hedera $2.6 million. Blockchain equities added $72.6 million. Regional flows were dominated by the United States with $2.05 billion; smaller inflows came from Germany, Switzerland, Canada and the Netherlands. Inflows were concentrated early in the week but reversed late-week, with $378 million of outflows linked to renewed geopolitical tensions (including a diplomatic dispute over Greenland and new tariff measures) and U.S. policy uncertainty. The combined data indicate renewed institutional appetite for crypto exposure across Bitcoin, major smart-contract platforms and select altcoins, though short-term macro and political risks produced late-week profit-taking and withdrawals. Traders should note the strong institutional bias toward BTC and ETH, front-loaded inflows that may raise short-term volatility, and continued selective interest in altcoins and blockchain equities.
Bullish
Net inflows of $2.17 billion — with $1.55 billion into Bitcoin products — signal meaningful institutional buying pressure for BTC. Large, concentrated inflows early in the week suggest renewed allocation into Bitcoin-based investment vehicles, which typically supports price appreciation or underpins price levels in the short term. Ethereum’s sizable $496 million intake and selective altcoin interest (XRP, SOL, SUI, LDO, HBAR) point to broader investor appetite beyond BTC, which can lift correlated large-cap crypto prices. Late-week outflows of $378 million tied to geopolitical and U.S. policy uncertainty introduce short-term downside risk and increased volatility; such flows often cause pullbacks or intraday swings but do not negate the overall bullish signal from strong net weekly inflows. For traders: expect near-term volatility around macro headlines, but the dominant institutional bias toward BTC and ETH supports a bullish medium-term outlook for their prices, while altcoins may see episodic rallies tied to targeted inflows and risk-on sentiment.
