TL;DR
Digital asset investment products recorded their second consecutive week of significant inflows, totaling $1.9 billion. The recent interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve initially triggered cautious reactions, but sentiment quickly turned positive, particularly in the latter half of the week when $746 million entered on Thursday and Friday.
Bitcoin led the inflows with $977 million, while Ethereum followed closely at $772 million, pushing Ethereum’s year-to-date inflows to a record $12.6 billion. The growing confidence in digital assets also coincides with increasing adoption of blockchain-based institutional services, indicating that investors are seeking broader exposure to crypto markets in multiple jurisdictions and exploring new innovative investment strategies.
Among investment providers, iShares ETFs dominated inflows, attracting $1.389 billion and reinforcing its leadership position with over $107 billion in total assets under management. Grayscale saw $60 million in outflows, while Fidelity, ProShares, and ARK 21Shares contributed $35 million, $39 million, and $32 million respectively.
Regional flows were overwhelmingly led by the United States with $1.792 billion, followed by Germany ($51.6 million), Switzerland ($47.3 million), and Canada ($21 million). Hong Kong and Sweden registered minor outflows of $3.1 million and $13.6 million respectively. The data suggests that global investors are increasingly looking beyond traditional markets, with Europe and North America remaining primary hubs for digital asset activity and investment innovation.
Other cryptocurrencies also gained attention, with Solana attracting $127.3 million and XRP $69.4 million, highlighting broader institutional diversification beyond top-tier tokens. Multi-asset funds, by contrast, saw outflows of $38 million, reflecting a preference for concentrated bets in individual cryptocurrencies.
Analysts note that the growing interest in Ethereum and smaller digital assets could drive further expansion of crypto-focused investment products globally. Continued technological upgrades and improved regulatory clarity may further enhance market confidence, supporting sustained growth across multiple sectors of the digital asset ecosystem.
Overall, the strong inflows and rising AuM indicate sustained institutional confidence in the digital asset market, suggesting that the current macroeconomic environment may continue to favor strategic crypto investments.
