Crypto investment funds recorded $2.17 billion in inflows last week, which marks the largest weekly total since mid-October 2025.
• Bitcoin led strongly with $1.55 billion, while Ethereum took $496 million. Altcoins showed breadth with XRP at $69.5 million and Solana at $45.5 million.
• The U.S. drove $2.05 billion, but Friday saw $378 million in outflows, tariff threats, and Greenland tensions triggered the late-week reversal.
Crypto investment products saw a solid rebound last week, pulling in $2.17 billion in net inflows, the largest weekly total since Oct. 10, 2025.
This surge stands out against the backdrop of recent volatility, signaling renewed institutional conviction even as external pressures mounted toward the week’s end.
After nearly three months of steady outflows through the final quarter of 2025, crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have finally seen some relief with the return of inflows in the new year.
Data from CoinShares’ new report highlights broad-based buying across various assets and regions, though a sharp Friday reversal underscores how quickly sentiment can shift on macro headlines.
Bitcoin (BTC) remained the clear leader, capturing $1.55 billion of the inflows and reinforcing its position as the primary gateway for institutional capital in the space.
This heavy weighting isn’t surprising given BTC’s role as a macro hedge and its dominance in spot ETF products.
Ethereum (ETH) followed with solid $496 million in inflows, holding firm despite ongoing United States regulatory discussions around the CLARITY Act proposals.
Those proposals, from the Senate Banking Committee, could limit yield-bearing stablecoins, an area where Ethereum’s ecosystem has significant exposure.
Yet, the inflows suggest investors are looking past near-term uncertainty or betting on long-term resilience.
Solana (SOL) added another $45.5 million, continuing to attract attention for its performance edge in high-throughput applications.
Beyond the top three, altcoins displayed impressive breadth.
XRP led the pack among smaller names with $69.5 million, followed by Sui $5.7 million and Hedera at $2.6 million.
This diversity points to selective but meaningful rotation into Layer-1 and DeFi-related plays rather than pure BTC concentration.
Blockchain equities rounded out the picture nicely, drawing $72.6 million, a sign that investor interest extends beyond spot crypto to the public companies building the infrastructure.

They accounted for the overwhelming majority of inflows at $2.05 billion, driven by deep liquidity in spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs and a generally supportive post-election environment for digital assets.
