🚀 Bitcoin & Ethereum Smash Records: Digital Asset Funds See Unprecedented Inflows

Wall Street's love affair with crypto just hit hyperdrive.

### The Big Two Dominate Again

Bitcoin and Ethereum aren't just leading the pack—they're dragging the entire digital asset market into institutional portfolios. Fund inflows shattered previous records this week as TradFi finally stopped pretending DeFi was a passing fad.

### Follow the Smart Money

While retail traders chase memecoins, the whales are doubling down on infrastructure. The numbers don't lie: when pension funds start allocating to crypto, the 'speculative asset' narrative dies fast.

### The Institutional Flip

What changed? Regulators blinked. Custody solutions matured. And let's be honest—after watching 20% annualized returns for a decade, even the most stubborn fund managers developed FOMO.

Funny how quickly 'dangerous bubble' becomes 'strategic allocation' when there's bonus money on the line.

Digital asset investment products experienced a significant surge in inflows, with $3.7 billion recorded last week, according to CoinShares. This influx marks the second-largest weekly inflow on record, contributing to a total of $21.8 billion over 13 consecutive weeks of positive flows. The total assets under management (AuM) have now reached a record $211 billion, surpassing previous benchmarks.

Record-Breaking Inflows

The week ending July 10th saw a notable $3.7 billion in inflows, with the day itself marking the third-highest daily inflow ever. This remarkable performance highlights the growing investor confidence in digital assets, as the sector continues to gain momentum. Year-to-date inflows have now reached $22.7 billion, indicating a robust upward trend.

Bitcoin and Ethereum Dominate

Bitcoin (BTC) and ethereum (ETH) were at the forefront of these inflows. Bitcoin saw a substantial $2.7 billion in weekly inflows, bringing its total AuM to $179.5 billion. This figure now represents 54% of the total AuM held in gold exchange-traded products (ETPs). Ethereum, meanwhile, posted its fourth-largest weekly inflow at $990 million, marking its 12th consecutive week of positive flows. This equates to 19.5% of its AuM over the past 12 weeks, compared to Bitcoin's 9.8%.

Mixed Regional Flows

Regionally, the United States led the inflows with $3.7 billion, showcasing strong domestic interest. However, Germany faced outflows totaling $85.7 million, while Switzerland and Canada saw modest gains with inflows of $65.8 million and $17.1 million, respectively.

Other Notable Movements

While Bitcoin and Ethereum recorded significant inflows, other digital assets experienced mixed results. XRP faced the largest weekly outflows at $104 million, whereas Solana (SOL) reported strong inflows of $92.6 million, underscoring the varied investor sentiment across different digital currencies.
