Digital Asset Inflows Hit $716M as Market Sentiment Shifts

CoinShares Report Shows Surge in Digital Asset Inflows
  • Digital asset investment products recorded $716 million in weekly inflows, marking a third consecutive week of positive flows
  • Bitcoin, XRP, Ethereum, and Chainlink led inflows, while short-Bitcoin products continued to see outflows
  • The US dominated regional demand, accounting for $796 million in inflows.

Digital asset inflows continued to trend higher last week as investor confidence showed early signs of stabilization, according to the latest CoinShares report. Weekly inflows came in at $716 million, lifting the total assets under management (AUM) to $180 billion, though still well below the sector’s $264 billion all-time high. The data suggests a cautious but improving sentiment across major markets, even as price performance remains suppressed.

Digital Assets See Third Week of Modest Inflows

Per the CoinShares report, Bitcoin remained a key beneficiary of the improving sentiment, attracting between $352 million in weekly inflows. At the same time, short-Bitcoin investment products recorded continued outflows totaling $1.8 million, a trend CoinShares said “signals a recovery in sentiment” as bearish positioning unwinds.

Despite the renewed interest, CoinShares noted that Bitcoin remains a relative laggard this year. Year-to-date inflows stand at $27.7 billion, compared to $41 billion recorded over the same period in 2024, highlighting a more measured pace of accumulation.

Ethereum saw another strong week, posting $338 million in inflows and pushing YTD totals to $13.3 billion. CoinShares highlighted that this represents a 148% increase compared to 2024, signaling growing confidence in Ethereum-linked investment products.

Altcoins also showed notable divergence. XRP attracted $245 million in inflows, while Chainlink recorded $52.8 million, a record weekly inflow equivalent to 54% of its total assets under management. CoinShares described Chainlink’s performance as one of the strongest relative demand signals across the market.

Meanwhile, Solana’s year-to-date inflows reached $3.5 billion, representing a tenfold increase compared to 2024, even as weekly flows remained modest. Aave posted smaller weekly inflows of $5.9 million, while Hyperliquid saw outflows of $14.1 million.

According to CoinShares, the recent inflows mark the third straight week of modest gains, reflecting what the firm described as “a cautious yet increasingly optimistic investor base.” The report added that while the US Federal Reserve’s recent interest rate cut initially raised expectations for risk assets, subsequent trading sessions showed mixed sentiment and uneven flows across products.

Crypto Inflows Remain Broad-Based Across Regions

The CoinShares report shows that US-listed products attracted $483 million in weekly inflows, followed by Germany with $96.9 million and Canada with $80.7 million.

CoinShares noted that these three regions continue to dominate capital allocation this year, accounting for 98.6% of year-to-date inflows. Data from the firm’s exchange-country table shows the US with $43.9 billion in YTD inflows and $126.1 billion in assets under management, far outpacing other jurisdictions.

In summary, the latest CoinShares report suggests digital asset inflows are stabilizing after a volatile period, driven primarily by US-based demand and renewed interest in major assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP. While price action has yet to fully reflect this shift, the sustained inflows and continued outflows from short-Bitcoin products point to a gradual improvement in investor sentiment rather than speculative exuberance.
