Over the past seven days, total inflows reached $4.39 billion, driven by surging volumes and asset prices. The total crypto market cap temporarily surpassed the $4 trillion mark as the Bitcoin (BTC) price rose to an all-time high above $122,000.
BTC Records $2.19 Billion Inflows
A new CoinShares Digital Asset Fund Flows report shows growing demand for crypto products in both institutional and retail markets. While total inflows topped $4 billion, Bitcoin and Ethereum dominated the markets with consecutive gains. Year-to-date inflows now stand at $27 billion, taking assets under management (AUM) to $220 billion.
This week’s inflow becomes the highest, knocking off December 2024 numbers after the U.S. Presidential elections. Q4 2024 marked a rapid surge in institutional investment in digital assets, with weekly inflows reaching $4.27 billion in anticipation of favorable regulations.
“This marks the 14th consecutive week of inflows, bringing year-to-date (YTD) totals to US$27bn, while total assets under management (AuM) hit a new all-time high of US$220bn. Weekly trading turnover in ETPs also reached record levels globally, hitting US$39.2bn, driven by elevated volumes in both Bitcoin and Ethereum.”
Bitcoin saw $2.19 billion in gains, bringing its monthly total to $5.64 billion. The top crypto hit an all-time high the previous week, a rallying point for most traditional investors that pitched soaring levels. Overall, the bulk of Bitcoin flows came with several firms launching strategic Bitcoin reserves modeled after Michael Saylor’s Strategy. On July 21, Trump Media and Technology Company announced that its total Bitcoin holdings had exceeded the $2 billion mark.
 
Furthermore, other firms, such as Metaplanet, Strategy, and Semler Scientific, have also increased their crypto holdings. Aside from companies, Kazakhstan and other countries are considering BTC investments.
Ethereum Matches BTC Pace
Ethereum maintained its consecutive run of inflows, notching $2.1 billion gains in the past seven days. The top altcoin almost doubled its previous record of $1.2 billion as more firms move to ETH reserves. Previously, the asset struggled due to poor inflows to spot ETF products and general movements toward Bitcoin.
However, recent weeks have sparked new optimism among traders, with analysts pointing to an altcoin rally. Firms like SharpLink, Bit Digital, and Skycorp have increased ETH reserves.
