- Crypto funds recorded $1.9 billion in inflows during the latest trading week.
- Bitcoin investment products led the market with $1.3 billion in weekly inflows.
- Ethereum products gained $583 million, marking their strongest weekly inflow since February.
Crypto funds recorded strong weekly inflows of $1.9 billion, extending their nine-week streak amid a volatile trading environment. Bitcoin rebounded from midweek lows, while Ethereum held gains despite brief sell-offs. Continued investor interest pushed total assets under management in crypto funds to $179 billion.
Crypto Funds Rise Despite Global Tensions
Bitcoin investment products were the biggest drivers of the rush, which took in an incremental US$1.3 billion worth of capital as the price rebounded after a crash of over 20 percent on Thursday. The digital asset slipped when Israel attacked Iranian nuclear facilities, but it recovered rapidly within the week. Bitcoin ended the week at a price of $106,000, and it reflected a strong effort even with the rise of increased global tensions.
There was activity in Short-bitcoin products as well, which attracted inflows of $3.7 million, but the total assets outstanding are again in the range of $96 million. Some investors hedged exposure, but capital continued to build up in long positions. The recovery in Bitcoin’s price supported investor confidence and increased allocations in crypto funds.
The big beneficiaries have been BlackRock’s iShares ETF products, which received inflows of about $1.5 billion in a single week. They have now surged way beyond other competitors, with their year-to-date inflows now being over $14.2 billion. Other U.S.-issued crypto funds added $95 million, while European ETPs saw minor outflows of $17 million.
Ethereum Extends Momentum with Record Daily Inflows
Ethereum products continued to gain at the rate of 583 million in the last week as prices indicated how Ether has dominated the market. Ether flew to over $2,800, plunging to an average of 2,473, then steadily steadied at 2,628. Despite volatility, Ethereum-based crypto funds saw their highest daily inflows since December 2024.
Crypto funds focused on Ether have now posted eight consecutive weeks of inflows, totaling $1.9 billion over that period. There is also an increasing inflow trend, and it seems that investors are optimistic concerning Ethereum’s performance. This gush has placed ETH as the second-best gainer following Bitcoins in the last week’s inflow charts.
There was fresh interest in other altcoins, and the market mood has taken a positive turn. XRP coins took a three-week outflow pattern, reflecting $11.8 million in inflows. SUI products followed, adding $3.5 million during the same period as broader interest in crypto funds increased.
YTD Crypto Fund Flows Break Records Amid Market Volatility
Year-to-date inflows into crypto funds reached $13.2 billion, marking a new all-time high for the asset class. The assets under management increased to 179 billion dollars, compared with the previous week’s 175.9 billion dollars. In spite of the developments, all the issuers have failed to participate in the growth.
Grayscale is still at the helm of annual outflows with more than one point six billion outstanding since January first. Conversely, ProShares is the sole issuer whose year-to-date inflows are consistent, and those amount to $437 million. Last week, most inflows were focused on U.S. funds, and institutional investors demonstrated a preference shift.
Overall, crypto funds have demonstrated strong resilience and continued investor appetite despite geopolitical concerns and price volatility. As both Bitcoin and Ethereum are experiencing positive signs of recovery, there is a chance that the fund flows can accumulate. As conditions stabilize, capital is increasingly rotating back into digital assets through crypto funds.
