Bitcoin Eats the Competition as Crypto Funds Hit All-Time Inflows

Digital asset funds just racked up their biggest weekly haul ever—and Bitcoin’s hogging the buffet. The OG crypto sucked up 80% of the $2.3 billion inflow bonanza, leaving altcoins to fight over table scraps.

Wall Street’s latest love affair with crypto looks suspiciously like a one-currency stand. While TradFi giants keep pretending they ’believe in blockchain, not Bitcoin,’ their money keeps voting with ruthless clarity.

Funny how institutional FOMO always smells like freshly printed Tether when the Fed starts eyeing rate cuts. Maybe this time they’ll actually read the whitepaper before the rug pull.

Bitcoin Dominates as Digital Asset Funds See Record Inflows

Record Inflows for Digital Asset Funds

Digital asset investment products have experienced a significant surge in inflows, amassing $882 million over the past week. According to CoinShares, this marks the fourth consecutive week of gains, with year-to-date (YTD) inflows now totaling $6.7 billion, inching closer to the $7.3 billion peak observed in early February 2025.

Bitcoin Leads the Charge

Bitcoin (BTC) has been at the forefront of this influx, attracting $867 million in global inflows last week. This impressive figure coincides with US-listed ETFs reaching a cumulative net inflow milestone of $62.9 billion since their inception in January 2024, surpassing the previous high of $61.6 billion set earlier this year.

Regional Inflow Trends

Regionally, the United States, Germany, and Australia were the primary beneficiaries, seeing inflows of $840 million, $44.5 million, and $10.2 million, respectively. Conversely, Canada and Hong Kong faced modest outflows of $8 million and $4.3 million.

Altcoins and Market Dynamics

Despite Ethereum’s (ETH) notable price increase, its inflows were relatively modest at $1.5 million. Meanwhile, sui outperformed major altcoins, attracting $11.7 million in inflows, surpassing Solana, which experienced $3.4 million in outflows. On a YTD basis, Sui has accumulated $84 million in inflows, overtaking Solana’s $76 million.

CoinShares attributes the increase in both prices and inflows to several factors, including the global rise in M2 money supply, stagflationary risks in the US, and the approval of bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset by several US states.
