Digital asset investment products attracted a record $5.95 billion in weekly inflows, according to CoinShares’ latest Digital Asset Fund Flows report released Monday.
The surge represents a dramatic reversal from the previous week’s $1 billion in outflows and pushed total crypto fund assets under management to an all-time high of $254 billion. The influx was driven primarily by US investors responding to the Federal Reserve’s recent 50-basis-point rate cut and weak employment data.
‘We believe this was due to a delayed response to the FOMC interest rate cut, compounded by very weak employment data, as indicated by Wednesday’s ADP Payroll release, and concerns over U.S. government stability following the shutdown,’ James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, wrote in the report.
The United States accounted for $5 billion of total inflows, the largest single-country weekly inflow on record while Switzerland posted its strongest week ever with $563 million.
The United States dominated the CoinShare net inflow chart last week, contributing $5 billion of the total as the largest single-country weekly inflow ever recorded. The milestone underscores America’s growing appetite for digital asset exposure amid market volatility and shifting monetary policy.
Switzerland also achieved its largest-ever inflow week, registering $563 million, while Germany followed with its second-largest on record at $311.5 million. These inflows highlight strong institutional participation from European financial hubs known for progressive crypto regulation.
Every country covered in the report recorded positive inflows, except Sweden, which experienced outflows of $8.6 million. CoinShares did not provide a reason for Sweden’s divergence from the broader trend.
Europe’s steady adoption of digital asset frameworks and the increasing presence of spot crypto ETFs are clearly attracting institutional investors, said Lena Krauss, Senior Market Strategist at CryptoCompare, in an interview with Reuters.
The record-setting CoinShare net inflow helped drive total assets under management (AUM) for digital investment products to an all-time high of $254 billion, reflecting rising investor confidence and the continued mainstream integration of cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin remained the biggest contributor to the historic CoinShare net inflow, accounting for $3.55 billion in new investment last week which is the highest on record for the asset. The surge in capital coincided with Bitcoin’s sharp rally to a new all-time high of $125,506, reinforcing the asset’s dominant position in the digital market.
According to CoinShares, Bitcoin’s year-to-date inflows now stand at $27.5 billion, representing the largest cumulative capital inflow for any digital asset in history. Despite this massive surge, data revealed little appetite for short investment products, suggesting that investors remain firmly bullish on Bitcoin’s near-term performance.
The resilience of Bitcoin inflows, even at record prices, indicates strong long-term conviction among institutional players, Mark Chandler, Chief Investment Officer at Arcane Funds, told Bloomberg.
The Coinshare net inflow data also shows the impact of macroeconomic factors particularly the Federal Reserve’s dovish shift in driving renewed capital inflows toward risk assets like cryptocurrencies.
While Bitcoin dominated, alternative cryptocurrencies also benefited from the record CoinShare net inflow. Solana (SOL) saw its best week to date, attracting $706.5 million in inflows and pushing its year-to-date total to $2.5 billion.
Ethereum (ETH) followed closely with $1.48 billion in inflows not a record, but still enough to lift its year-to-date total to $13.7 billion, triple the level seen in 2024. Analysts attribute the rise in ETH inflows to growing optimism over the expansion of layer-2 networks and increasing staking demand following Ethereum’s latest protocol upgrades.
Meanwhile, XRP (XRP) posted $219 million in inflows, extending its recovery momentum amid ongoing legal clarity in the United States. Other altcoins posted smaller, yet positive contributions to the overall CoinShare net inflow, emphasizing broad-based investor enthusiasm across the digital asset spectrum.
The diversified inflows across major assets signal a market that’s maturing as it’s no longer just Bitcoin and Ethereum driving sentiment, said Hiro Tanaka, Managing Partner at Tokyo Crypto Research, in a note shared with CoinDesk.
The record-breaking CoinShare net inflow marks a pivotal moment for global crypto markets. As institutional participation expands and traditional financial institutions deepen exposure to digital assets, fund flow trends have become a crucial indicator of broader market sentiment.
With total AUM now above $254 billion, analysts expect continued inflows, especially if macroeconomic conditions remain favorable. However, experts caution that volatility could return if central banks shift tone or inflation data surprises markets.
For crypto investors, the CoinShare net inflow report underscores the increasing institutionalization of digital assets which is a trend likely to shape liquidity, regulation, and price discovery for years to come.
