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.
