Crypto Funds See Record $5.95B Inflows Led by XRP, BTC

• CoinShares reports record $5.95B inflows as institutional funds boost Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP.
• XRP and Bitcoin lead global crypto inflows, lifting total fund assets under management to $254 billion.
• ETF inflows surge after Fed rate cut, signaling renewed institutional confidence in digital assets.

Institutional demand for digital assets has reached a new peak. According to the latest CoinShares Digital Asset Fund Flows Report, global digital asset investment products attracted $5.95 billion in inflows, the largest weekly total ever recorded. The surge brought total assets under management (AuM) across crypto funds to $254 billion, signaling a major return of institutional capital to the market.

U.S. Leads Global Institutional Inflows

The United States led activity with $5 billion in new allocations, an all-time high. CoinShares linked the spike to shifting macro conditions: weaker U.S. jobs data, the Federal Reserve’s recent rate cut, and renewed fiscal-stability concerns, all of which pushed institutional portfolios toward alternative assets.

Europe followed the trend with Switzerland and Germany recording their largest-ever inflows at $563 million and $312 million, respectively. Combined, these three markets accounted for the majority of global inflows, signaling widespread institutional participation across major financial hubs.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP Dominate Allocations

Bitcoin remained the primary beneficiary, registering $3.55 billion in inflows, the largest weekly figure ever recorded for the asset. CoinShares noted that investors showed no demand for short products, showing a dominant bullish sentiment. Bitcoin’s total assets under management (AuM) climbed to $195 billion, reinforcing its dominance in the digital asset market.

Ethereum also posted strong growth, with $1.48 billion in inflows during the same period. The figure brought its year-to-date total to $13.7 billion, nearly three times higher than last year’s tally. Analysts attributed Ethereum’s inflows to its continued role in decentralized finance and smart contract infrastructure.

Solana also set a new record, attracting $706.5 million in weekly inflows and increasing its year-to-date total to $2.58 billion. The asset’s performance showed growing investor confidence in high-speed blockchain networks. 

Meanwhile, XRP saw $219.4 million in institutional accumulation, its strongest week of inflows this year, driven by optimism surrounding ongoing ETF reviews and cross-border payment integrations.

ETF Activity Strengthens Institutional Momentum

Spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) mirrored this momentum during the week of September 29 to October 3. According to WuBlockchain’s institutional ETF tracker, Bitcoin ETFs recorded $3.24 billion in weekly inflows, the second-highest level in history, while Ethereum ETFs saw $1.3 billion added across all nine U.S.-listed products.

Real-time TradingView ETF charts show the impact on pricing as Bitcoin held firm above $123,000, and Ethereum traded near $4,500 as inflows tightened spot supply.

Macro Takeaway: Confidence Returns to Digital Assets

The record inflows mark a structural shift back to crypto as an institutional asset class.

After two years of risk aversion, funds appear to be rebalancing toward Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP; networks that combine liquidity, scalability, and regulatory clarity.

If ETF activity continues at current pace, analysts expect global AuM to approach $300 billion by Q4 2025, setting up a new benchmark for the digital asset cycle.
