rewrite this title Institutional investors contributed $882 million globally to surge in crypto investments last week

Institutional appetite for digital assets is gaining momentum, with crypto investment products recording $882 million in inflows last week. According to new data from CoinShares, this marks the fourth straight week of positive flows.

In 2025, digital asset investments have seen total inflows of $6.7 billion, which is rapidly approaching the $7.3 billion high set in February.

James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, said the rally is tied to broader economic pressures. According to him, the growing global money supply, concerns over stagflation in the US, and supportive state-level policies of “Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset” are all driving renewed investor interest in the asset class.

Last week, two US states, New Hampshire and Arizona, passed laws allowing public funds to hold Bitcoin and other select digital assets. These moves mark a notable shift and reflect governments’ rising acknowledgement of the top crypto as a hedge in the global financial system.

US Bitcoin ETFs reach record cumulative net inflows

According to the CoinShares report, US spot Bitcoin ETFs have surpassed $62.9 billion in cumulative net inflows since launching in January 2024. This eclipses the $61.6 billion record set in February.

The ETFs’ strong performance continued last week, as their issuers collectively received $867 million in fresh inflows.

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led the charge, recording 19 consecutive days of positive inflows. Over this stretch, the fund attracted over $5 billion in new funds while outperforming the largest gold-backed ETF in capital raised this year.

Meanwhile, the ETF’s strong performance contributed to US-based crypto investment products pulling in $840 million. Germany follows this with $44.5 million and Australia with $10.2 million.

In contrast, Canada and Hong Kong recorded outflows of $8 million and $4.3 million, respectively.

Sui outperforms Ethereum

On the altcoin front, Sui outshone its peers, pulling in $11.7 million in fresh inflows last week. Year-to-date, Sui has attracted $84 million in fresh capital, surpassing Solana’s $76 million.

This performance is quite notable considering Ethereum’s sharp 30% rally during the period and the completion of its highly anticipated Pectra upgrade.

However, ETH-based financial investment vehicles only drew net inflows of $1.5 million.

Meanwhile, XRP also saw positive movement, recording $1.4 million in inflows during the week. Its total inflows for the year now stand at $258 million.
