$16.9B Floods Into Crypto: 11-Week Bull Run Defies Market Skeptics
Crypto's money spigot is wide open—investors just poured $16.9 billion into digital assets during an unbroken 11-week streak. Forget 'crypto winter'—this is a full-blown liquidity monsoon.
Institutional FOMO or smart money positioning? Either way, the numbers don't lie. While traditional finance pundits cluck about 'bubbles,' blockchain networks are quietly onboarding capital at 2021-level velocity.
Here's the kicker: this sustained inflow happened without a single major coin hitting new all-time highs. Turns out you don't need price mania to move mountains of capital—just institutional-grade FOMO and a dash of inflationary panic. (But sure, keep shorting Bitcoin, Wall Street.)
Bitcoin and the US lead the charge
Bitcoin remained the top performer last week, accounting for 83% of total crypto inflows. Investment products tied to the world’s largest crypto attracted $2.2 billion, pushing Bitcoin’s year-to-date inflows to $14.9 billion.
On the other hand, short-Bitcoin investment products saw minimal net outflows of $2.9 million, with a year-to-date total of $12 million in outflows. This shift reflects a positive sentiment toward Bitcoin in 2025.
BTC’s continued dominance was particularly bolstered by the increasing popularity of US-based spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) during the first half of the year,
For context, BlackRock’s IBIT attracted more than $1.5 billion in new capital last week and more than $17 billion on the year-to-date metrics. This confirmed a trend that has seen the fund dominate the ETF landscape since its January 2024 launch.
Considering the ETFs’ performance, the US has dominated the regional flows, with crypto products from the country attracting over $16.8 billion in capital this year.
Outside the US, crypto products in Germany follow with inflows of $939 million this year, while products from Canada and Australia attracted inflows of $164 million and $148 million, respectively.
Ethereum leads altcoins
Ethereum-based funds also saw notable inflows, adding $429 million to their year-to-date total of $2.9 billion.
CoinShares noted that the ongoing interest in ethereum has been fueled by its recent Pectra upgrade and a steady increase in institutional adoption.
Meanwhile, other digital assets, such as Solana, recorded more modest inflows of $5.3 million, bringing its total to $91 million for the year.
In contrast, XRP and Sui have outperformed solana this year with inflows of $219 million and $104 million, respectively, showing strong interest in these altcoins.
