Crypto Rebound: Bitcoin & Ethereum Suck in $2B as TradFi Investors Panic-Buy Digital Gold

Wall Street’s latest love affair with crypto isn’t subtle—$2 billion flooded into Bitcoin and Ethereum last week alone. Guess those ’barbarous relic’ jokes didn’t age well.

The Big Dogs Eat First

BTC grabbed 70% of inflows while ETH vacuumed up the rest. Meanwhile, altcoins got crumbs—because when volatility strikes, even crypto tourists know where to park their Lambo money.

Institutional FOMO Hits Ludicrous Mode

New ETF approvals and BlackRock’s blockchain whispers have hedge funds buying the dip like it’s 2021. Never mind that most still can’t explain how a wallet works.

The market’s sending a clear signal: digital assets aren’t just surviving mainstream adoption—they’re thriving on institutional incompetence.

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
