The European-based digital asset investment firm disclosed that institutional investors poured $4.39 billion into crypto-related investment vehicles last week, setting a new all-time record for weekly inflows. This figure surpasses the prior peak of $4.27 billion, recorded in December 2024, shortly after the U. election.
The surge in interest reflects increasing institutional engagement across various regions, supported by the strong performance of exchange-traded products (ETPs), particularly in the US market.
While Bitcoin remained dominant in terms of overall flows, Ethereum outpaced all digital assets by registering a record $2.12 billion in weekly inflows. This volume nearly doubles its previous high of $1.2 billion.
CoinShares highlighted that total trading turnover in crypto ETPs globally hit an all-time high of $39.2 billion last week, indicating heightened market activity and liquidity across institutional venues.
Regionally, the US remained the largest contributor, accounting for $4.36 billion of the total weekly inflows. Other markets including Switzerland ($47.3 million), Hong Kong ($14.1 million), and Australia ($17.3 million) also reported positive contributions.
Meanwhile, Brazil and Germany saw minor outflows of $28.1 million and $15.5 million, respectively, suggesting a more cautious investor sentiment in those regions.
Beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, several altcoins also recorded notable inflows. Solana brought in $39 million, XRP saw $36 million, and Sui attracted $9.3 million.
With Ethereum inflows now outpacing even Bitcoin on a relative basis, investors might likely keep on eye on how this shift influences broader crypto market dynamics.
