rewrite this title Bitcoin and Ethereum lead $2 billion in crypto investment inflows amid market shift

Digital asset investment products recorded $2 billion in inflows last week, bringing year-to-date totals to $5.6 billion, according to CoinShares’ latest market report.

According to CoinShares, last week’s inflow marks the third straight week of gains, signaling a clear shift in investor behavior after months of outflows.

James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, noted that the recent surge suggests growing confidence in the market. In just three weeks, inflows have reached $5.5 billion, effectively reversing the trend seen earlier this year.

CoinShares also highlighted a jump in assets under management (AUM), which climbed from $151 billion to $156 billion. This is the highest level recorded since mid-February, driven by rising asset prices and increased demand for crypto-related products.

Bitcoin leads the inflow

Bitcoin accounted for the most inflows last week, attracting $1.8 billion.

During this period, the asset climbed to a multi-week high of $94,000 and reinforced its status as the top choice among institutional investors.

So far in 2025, Bitcoin has attracted more than $5.5 billion in new capital, driven by growing interest in digital assets amid global economic uncertainty caused by President Donald Trump’s tariff policies.

Investors appear to be turning to BTC as a hedge against traditional markets, especially in light of the global trade wars and concerns over the weakening fiat currencies.

Meanwhile, despite its momentum, BTC’s recent resilience appears to have attracted bearish investors who are betting against its current rally.

Last week, short-Bitcoin products also recorded $6.4 million in inflows, the highest since December 2024.

Ethereum resurgence continues

Ethereum maintained its positive run, pulling in $149 million last week. Over the past two weeks, ETH-focused investment products have attracted $336 million in total inflows.

This brings Ethereum’s year-to-date total to over $551 million, double that of the next most popular altcoin, XRP, which has pulled in $256 million this year.

Meanwhile, other altcoins such as Solana, XRP, and Tezos posted modest gains, attracting $6 million, $10.5 million, and $8.2 million, respectively.

Blockchain-related equities also saw renewed interest, pulling in $15.9 million
