Summary of Weekly Inflows
Digital asset investment products experienced a significant $2.17 billion in inflows last week, marking the largest weekly total since October 2025. The surge in investments was particularly strong early in the week, with the U.S. leading the inflows, contributing $2.05 billion to the total. Despite the strong start, market sentiment shifted on Friday, resulting in $378 million of outflows. Geopolitical tensions over Greenland and the potential for additional tariffs caused concern among investors. Additionally, speculation around Kevin Hassett, a key figure in U.S. monetary policy, added uncertainty to market conditions, leading to the negative sentiment.
Asset Performance and Inflows
Bitcoin Dominates Inflows
Bitcoin continued to lead the inflows, attracting $1.55 billion, reinforcing its role as the dominant digital asset for institutional investors. The strong inflows into Bitcoin underscore its continued appeal even amid broader market volatility.
Ethereum and Solana Remain Resilient
Ethereum also saw significant investments, drawing $496 million in inflows, despite ongoing regulatory discussions in the U.S. Senate about the CLARITY Act, which could restrict yield-bearing stablecoins. Solana recorded inflows of $45.5 million, reflecting resilience despite the uncertain regulatory environment.
Altcoin Performance
Other altcoins also posted positive flows, highlighting the growing interest in digital assets beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. XRP led the altcoins with $69.5 million in inflows, followed by Sui at $5.7 million, Lido at $3.7 million, and Hedera at $2.6 million. These altcoins attracted investor attention due to their established liquidity and clear network narratives. Blockchain-related equities performed well, with $72.6 million in inflows, underscoring sustained investor interest in companies tied to blockchain infrastructure and services.
Regional Investment Trends
Regionally, the U.S. accounted for the bulk of the inflows, but other countries also showed strong demand. Germany saw $63.9 million in inflows, Switzerland $41.6 million, Canada $12.3 million, and the Netherlands $6 million.
Market Outlook
Despite the late-week reversal, institutional demand for digital assets remained strong, indicating that investors continue to see long-term potential in the sector.
