This marks the 12th straight week of positive inflows, pushing the year-to-date total to $18 billion.
The surge was accompanied by increased trading activity, with weekly volumes rising to $16.3 billion. As a result, the broader market optimism helped lift total assets under management (AuM) across crypto funds to an all-time high of $188 billion.
James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, said the dip in momentum may signal increased caution as Bitcoin approaches its ATH. Short Bitcoin products recorded $400,000 in inflows, suggesting that bearish sentiment lingers among some investors anticipating a correction.
Ethereum continued its quiet ascent, marking its 11th consecutive week of inflows. Last week, the network attracted $226 million, bringing its yearly total to over $3 billion.
He cited Ethereum’s utility in tokenizing real-world assets—ranging from stocks to stablecoins—as a key growth driver for the crypto.
Regionally, the US-dominated weekly inflows with $1 billion, while Germany and Switzerland followed with $38.5 million and $33.7 million, respectively.
In contrast, Canada and Brazil saw outflows of $29.3 million and $9.7 million, reflecting weaker sentiment in those markets.
