Cryptocurrency investment funds recorded $1.03 billion in net inflows last week, marking the 12th consecutive week of positive flows.
This streak has brought cumulative inflows to $18 billion, while total assets under management (AUM) hit a record $188 billion, fueled by both fresh capital and strong price appreciation, reports Cryptopolitan.
Trading volumes reached $16.3 billion for the week, matching the average for 2025, further underscoring the high level of institutional and retail engagement in crypto markets.
The United States led the surge, drawing $1.024 billion in weekly inflows, with Germany and Switzerland trailing at $38.5 million and $33.7 million, respectively. Month-to-date, the U.S. has pulled in nearly $900 million, while Germany and Switzerland contributed $29.5 million and $35.6 million, cementing their positions as top destinations for crypto fund activity. However, regional sentiment diverged sharply, with Canada, Brazil, Sweden, and Hong Kong all posting weekly and monthly redemptions, signaling caution or declining demand in those regions. Australia emerged as an outlier, contributing positively with $4.1 million in weekly inflows and a strong year-to-date total of $154.8 million.
Bitcoin and Ethereum dominate inflows as investor preferences narrow
Bitcoin investment vehicles absorbed $799 million in inflows last week, bringing year-to-date net flows to $15.719 billion and boosting total Bitcoin AUM to $164.2 billion. Although still dominant, Bitcoin inflows have slowed in recent weeks, down from $1.5 billion weekly peaks earlier in the quarter. This tapering reflects some investor caution as BTC trades near all-time highs, prompting a more balanced allocation strategy across the crypto sector. Meanwhile, Ethereum has quietly outperformed on a proportional basis, attracting $226 million last week—its 11th straight week of inflows—with a total of $3.086 billion in 2025. ETH funds averaged 1.6% AUM inflows weekly, double that of Bitcoin’s 0.8%.
XRP and Solana continued their steady performance, drawing $10.58 million and $21.62 million respectively. Solana’s year-to-date flows reached $113.3 million, while XRP surpassed $335 million, confirming their roles as major altcoin holdings among institutional investors. Other assets like Sui posted modest gains, while multi-asset funds experienced net outflows of $12.38 million, suggesting a shift toward single-asset exposure. Cardano, Chainlink, and Litecoin showed mixed results, and short Bitcoin products saw minimal inflows but continued outflows on a longer-term basis.
Weekly trends reveal broader institutional commitment despite mixed altcoin flows
The sustained inflow streak and record-breaking AUM levels illustrate increasing institutional confidence in digital assets as a long-term investment class. The current year-to-date inflow total of $18.962 billion is a milestone, pointing to structural shifts in portfolio construction strategies globally. Notably, Ethereum’s proportional strength in inflows reflects its growing stature, especially as ETF inflows and Layer-2 adoption increase. Bitcoin, while still the largest asset by AUM, is facing slightly more cautious investor behavior as market participants weigh macroeconomic factors and price resistance zones.
Conversely, multi-asset products underperformed, possibly due to investors favoring targeted exposure to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and a few large-cap altcoins. XRP and Solana showed continued traction, signaling growing acceptance among asset managers. The price performance of digital assets, combined with increased regulatory clarity and ETF approval momentum, is likely to drive the next wave of inflows. As a result, global AUM in crypto funds could continue to push higher in Q3, especially if U.S. interest rate policy or ETF expansion accelerates risk-on behavior in capital markets.
