Bitcoin and Ethereum Dominate Crypto Fund Inflows as Investors Double Down on Blue-Chip Assets

Crypto funds see strongest weekly inflows since 2024 bull run—with BTC and ETH sucking up 90% of fresh capital. Traders flock to ’digital gold’ and ’ultrasound money’ narratives while altcoins get crumbs.

Wall Street’s latest crypto play? Pretending they never called Bitcoin ’rat poison’ as institutional allocations hit record highs. Meanwhile, Ethereum’s Shanghai upgrade fuels deflationary bets—because burning $50M daily in ETH somehow counts as ’sound monetary policy’ in crypto-land.

Bonus jab: The same hedge funds shorting Tesla are now long Bitcoin. Consistency remains as elusive as a working Layer 2 solution.

Digital Asset Fund Flows Report: Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) Lead Inflows

Investor sentiment in the digital asset market continues to show strength as investment products recorded a third consecutive week of inflows, according to CoinShares. Last week alone saw a substantial inflow of $2 billion, bringing the total for the past three weeks to an impressive $5.5 billion. This marks a significant turnaround from the nine weeks of outflows that preceded this period.

Bitcoin Dominates Inflows

Bitcoin (BTC) emerged as the primary driver of these inflows, attracting $1.8 billion last week. Despite the positive sentiment, some bearish investors also contributed $6.4 million, marking the highest level of bearish investments since mid-December 2025. This indicates a mixed but predominantly optimistic outlook for Bitcoin within the investment community.

Ethereum and Other Altcoins

Ethereum (ETH) also demonstrated robust performance, recording a second consecutive week of solid inflows totaling $149 million. Over the past two weeks, Ethereum has accumulated $336 million in inflows. Meanwhile, Solana (SOL) saw more modest interest with $6 million in inflows.

Other cryptocurrencies such as XRP and Tezos (XTZ) also made notable contributions, with inflows of $10.5 million and $8.2 million, respectively. These figures underline a diverse interest in various digital assets beyond the leading cryptocurrencies.

Regional and Sectoral Insights

Regionally, the United States led the inflows with $1.9 billion, followed by Germany, Switzerland, and Canada, which contributed $47 million, $34 million, and $20 million, respectively. This widespread geographical interest suggests a broad-based supportive sentiment for digital asset investment products globally.

In addition to digital assets, blockchain equities also experienced positive inflows, totaling $15.9 million. This indicates a growing confidence in the broader blockchain sector, reflecting its potential for innovation and growth.

Overall, the total assets under management (AuM) in digital asset investment products have risen to $156 billion, the highest level since mid-February this year. This upward trend highlights the increasing institutional and retail investor confidence in the digital asset class.
