Digital asset inflows just hit a staggering $7.5 billion—the kind of number that makes Wall Street raise an eyebrow (between sips of their $20 artisanal coffee).

Bitcoin’s leading the charge, with institutional money pouring in like it’s 2021 all over again. But this time, the infrastructure’s tighter, the ETFs are live, and the whales aren’t just gambling—they’re hunting.

Key drivers? Macro uncertainty, inflation hedges, and let’s be honest—FOMO never really left the chat.

Will BTC punch through its ATH? The charts say maybe. The fundamentals say probably. And the suits? They’re still trying to explain blockchain at golf outings.

One thing’s clear: when liquidity moves this fast, someone’s about to get very rich—or very liquidated.

Digital Asset

  • Digital asset inflows reached $785 million last week, pushing 2025 YTD total to $7.5 billion.
  • Bitcoin attracted $557 million, but a hawkish Federal Reserve slowed weekly inflows compared to last week.
  • Ethereum saw a surge with $205 million in inflows, driven by the Pectra upgrade and leadership changes.

Digital asset investment products saw continued increased last week, making it the fifth week in a row with inflows of $785 million. This raised the total for the year to date to $7.5 billion, breaking the record of $7.2 billion set earlier this year in early February. Almost $7 billion of recent inflows have restored the investors’ trust that was lost during the February-March market downturn.

Global Digital Assets Sentiment

However, people’s attitudes toward the market were varied in different parts of the world. A total of $681 million, $86.3 million and $24.2 million was devoted to the United States, Germany and Hong Kong via FDI. It now shows that the biggest Hong Kong inflow in six years came only last month. Nevertheless, Sweden, Canada and Brazil had outflows amounting to $16.3 million, $13.5 million and $3.9 million.

Bitcoin’s share increased last week with $557 million being invested into the asset. Yet, this weekly figure is lower than the previous one, probably because the Federal Reserve has kept its signal for further hikes in interest rates despite positive data. Nevertheless, these types of offerings attracted extra funds totalling $5.8 million, since investors sought to benefit from the recent hike in price.

Ethereum’s Surge Amid Market Shifts

Ethereum had a remarkable week with $205 million coming in, making its total YTD inflows $575 million. This interest from investors arose after the Pectra upgrade and the appointment of Tomasz Stańczak as co-executive director. Because of these changes, there is renewed interest in Ethereum, increasing the level of investment.

Unlike the other large digital assets, solana saw outflow of $0.89 million in the week. This shows a decrease for Solana-based products while many others are performing well in the market.

In general, ongoing investments in digital asset products demonstrate that cryptocurrencies are becoming more appealing to investors, despite fluctuations in the market. Bitcoin is still the top player, but new attention is being directed to Ethereum. Although Solana has come across obstacles, there is still Optimism in the market about future upgrades and increasing institutional involvement.

Since digital asset inflows are at an all-time high, Bitcoin and ethereum are likely to see further gains in the upcoming months.
