Digital asset investment products saw a massive $3.3 billion in inflows last week, propelling year-to-date (YTD) inflows to a record-breaking $10.8 billion.
Total assets under management (AuM) briefly peaked at an all-time high of $187.5 billion, marking a major milestone for the crypto investment landscape.
Bitcoin continued to dominate, attracting $2.9 billion of the total inflow—roughly a quarter of all 2024 inflows. The surge, according to Coinshares, reflects growing investor appetite amid rising economic uncertainty and weakening confidence in traditional markets, partly triggered by the recent Moody’s downgrade of U.S. credit and the subsequent rise in treasury yields.
Interestingly, short-Bitcoin products also saw a notable increase in activity, pulling in $12.7 million—their highest weekly inflow since December 2024—indicating that some investors are hedging against potential price pullbacks.
Ethereum saw its strongest week in nearly four months, with $326 million in inflows. This marks the fifth straight week of gains for ETH products as market sentiment continues to recover.
In contrast, XRP broke its 80-week streak of inflows, suffering a record $37.2 million in outflows, suggesting a shift in investor confidence or a response to market positioning.
By region, the United States dominated the inflow landscape with $3.2 billion, followed by Germany ($41.5 million), Hong Kong ($33.3 million), and Australia ($10.9 million). Switzerland stood out with $16.6 million in outflows, likely due to profit-taking amid recent price strength.
As economic uncertainty grows, institutional and retail investors alike appear to be turning increasingly to digital assets—not only for growth potential but as strategic diversification tools in turbulent times.
