This surge has pushed the total assets under management (AuM) for crypto investment products beyond the $200 billion mark for the first time, reaching $211 billion.
Bitcoin continues to dominate the market, securing $2.7 billion in weekly inflows, which has elevated its total AuM to $179.5 billion. Notably, this amount now equals 54% of the AuM held in gold exchange-traded products, signaling a potential shift in investor preference toward digital assets as alternative stores of value.
These inflows represent 19.5% of Ethereum’s AuM over the last three months, compared to 9.8% for Bitcoin, indicating stronger relative growth. Ethereum’s continued momentum may be fueled by anticipation around staking upgrades and developments in Ethereum-based tokenization and decentralized finance.
Meanwhile, Germany experienced outflows of $85.7 million, a rare deviation from broader global trends. In contrast, Switzerland and Canada registered net inflows of $65.8 million and $17.1 million, respectively, reflecting growing appetite for digital assets across key European and North American markets.
This divergence in flows suggests that investor sentiment remains highly selective within the altcoin segment and continues to be influenced by project fundamentals and regulatory narratives.
CoinShares’ latest report reinforces the narrative that digital asset investment is entering a new phase of institutional growth, promoted by record-breaking inflows and increasing market participation.
Interestingly, the effect is showing in the market with Bitcoin earlier today establishing a new all-time high above $123,000 while ETH, XRP and SOL surge over 10% in the past week respectively.
