The global crypto fund world saw another banner week as investors piled in. According to CoinShares data, net inflows into digital‑asset products jumped to $4.40 billion—beating the prior record of $4.27 billion set after the 2024 US elections.

It was the 14th straight week of positive flows, lifting year‑to‑date inflows to $27 billion and driving total assets under management to a fresh high of $220 billion. Trading also heated up: exchange‑traded product turnover hit nearly $40 billion in a single week, underscoring a surge in both interest and liquidity.

Record Inflows Hit New High

Last week’s $4.40 billion haul wasn’t just a marginal uptick. It smashed the old record by $120 million. Investors have now pumped capital into these funds every week since early April, showing a clear shift toward digital assets as part of broader portfolios.

Last week digital asset products saw all-time high weekly inflows of US$4.39bn, bringing YTD inflows to US$27bn, pushing AuM to a record US$220bn. Ethereum attracted a record US$2.12bn in inflows, while Bitcoin saw inflows of US$2.2bn. https://t.co/y32mEP8Oa2

Total AUM of $220 billion means these products now rival many traditional asset classes in sheer scale. And with $39 billion in weekly turnover, bid‑ask spreads are likely tighter—making it easier for big players to move in and out without major price swings.

Ethereum Leads The Charge

Based on reports, Ethereum was the standout draw. It pulled in a little over $2 billion—nearly double its previous weekly high of $1.2 billion. Over the past week, ether climbed 24.5%, briefly topping $3,800 for the first time in more than seven months.

That price pop clearly caught buyers’ eyes. Bitcoin stayed strong too, with $2 billion in inflows, even if that was down from $2.7 billion the week before. Notably, ETPs made up 55% of Bitcoin’s total exchange volume, signaling that institutions are hunting exposure via these regulated vehicles.

US Market Drives The Wave

Regional flows tell their own story: the US was by far largest with $4.30 billion of last week’s inflows. Switzerland contributed $47 million, Australia $17 million, and Hong Kong $14 million.

Meanwhile, Brazil and Germany experienced minor outflows of $28 million and $15 million as domestic investors booked profits or changed strategy.

The sheer magnitude of US demand is evidence of both regulatory certainty regarding spot crypto ETFs and increasing comfort on the part of asset managers to apply those products.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that's not just a metaphor, it's a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.

Christian's journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).

Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling - right up his alley!

So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he's one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).

Think Christian's all work and no play? Not a chance! When he's not at his computer, you'll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.

Speaking of chill, Christian's got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.

Here's the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day - and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.

Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects.

So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
