Crypto Inflows Hit $3.7B Record as Bitcoin ETPs Soar
Crypto inflows surged to a record $3.7 billion last week, the second-largest weekly total on record. Year-to-date inflows reached $22.7 billion, pushing total assets under management (AuM) to $211 billion.
Bitcoin ETPs led the rally with $2.7 billion in net inflows, lifting Bitcoin’s AuM to $179.5 billion—54% of gold ETP holdings. Ethereum saw $990 million of crypto inflows in its 12th straight week of gains. Solana captured $92.6 million, Sui $3.5 million, while Cardano and multi-asset products added $0.5 million and $1.1 million respectively. XRP and Chainlink experienced outflows of $104 million and $0.5 million.
U.S. investors accounted for the full $3.7 billion, with minor inflows from Switzerland, Canada and Australia. Germany led outflows at $85.7 million. Market observers highlight sustained institutional interest. Spot Bitcoin ETFs amassed over $2 billion. Perpetual funding rates climbed to nearly 30%, and open interest topped $43 billion. Despite subdued implied volatility, experts remain structurally bullish. They recommend buying on pullbacks rather than chasing the rally.
Bullish
The record $3.7B crypto inflows, driven by strong Bitcoin ETP demand, signal robust institutional participation. In the short term, the surge should support Bitcoin’s price momentum and stabilize ETP markets. Ethereum and leading altcoins also benefit from diversified inflows. Over the long term, sustained inflows and rising AuM indicate a solid foundation for price appreciation. Subdued implied volatility points to steady growth, while high open interest and funding rates reinforce a constructive outlook. Overall, the data suggest a bullish bias for the crypto market.
