Digital asset inflows surged to $3.3 billion last week, pushing year-to-date totals to $10.8 billion. Despite rising economic concerns, this strong capital movement highlighted renewed confidence across institutional markets. Assets under management in crypto products peaked at $187.5 billion, indicating growing structural support.
Digital Asset Inflows Surge Driven by Bitcoin
Bitcoin attracted $2.9 billion in digital asset inflows last week, accounting for nearly 90% of total capital. Global market sentiment changed after key political developments, leading the cryptocurrency to surge again briefly above $111,000 before falling back. Inflows rose while some short Bitcoin products recorded $12.7 million, their highest since December.
However, before U.S. President Donald Trump delayed the proposed EU tariff, which calmed earlier market tensions, demand for Bitcoin was strong. That announcement helped reverse earlier declines linked to fears of tariffs and changes in treasury yields. Institutional appetite and long-term accumulation meant Bitcoin’s performance remained steady.
The United States led digital asset inflows with $3.2 billion, followed by smaller contributions from Germany, Hong Kong, and Australia. Also, Switzerland reported outflows of $16.6m, attributed to profit taking. They highlighted yet further Bitcoin’s continuing status as the main use for crypto capital.
Ethereum Extends Momentum, Posts $326M in Weekly Inflows
Ethereum posted $326 million in digital asset inflows, recording its strongest week in nearly four months. Increased market optimism and ecosystem developments continued to support the network’s growth streak to five straight weeks. We’re seeing this consistent capital allocation as a way to reflect increased confidence in Ethereum’s evolving technology landscape.
Another interesting demonstration of Ethereum’s strengths is its resilience in the middle of broader economic uncertainty. This proves that while its price may be susceptible to short-term speculation, it is hardly tuned into any underlying trends in the rest of the economy. Despite mixed macroeconomic signals, market participants kept doling out funds on Ethereum. Its share of digital asset inflows continued rising, signaling more balanced interest across major cryptocurrencies.
Transaction volumes on Ethereum remained stable, while user engagement on decentralized finance (DeFi)- based platforms continued to stay afloat. Analysts said increasing utility and network adoption were two key drivers. Combined with steady inflows, Ethereum remains a critical part of the growing digital asset inflows narrative.
Market Rotation Hits XRP Inflows Hard
Last wee, XRP saw $37.2 million in outflows, signaling the end of an 80-week inflow streak and suggesting a shift in sentiment. The outflows came amid rising allocations to Bitcoin and Ethereum, which dominated the digital asset inflows landscape. The drop in XRP support resulted from market rotation and price corrections.
In recent months, XRP enjoyed steady inflows, but momentum petered out after investors balanced portfolios in favor of higher-growth assets. This was a strong departure from previous capital direction change trends. As a result, XRP’s market position weakened, particularly in contrast to other digital assets gaining ground.
Other altcoins showed mixed activity, but none matched Bitcoin or Ethereum’s dominance in digital asset inflows. As macroeconomic pressures mount, these metrics seem to imply that concentration among top-tier assets is increasing. Therefore, digital asset inflows may continue to favor cryptocurrencies with stronger fundamentals and wider adoption.
