Crypto funds hit $2.5 billion weekly inflow record amid growing spot Bitcoin ETF interest
Crypto funds at asset managers such as BlackRock, Bitwise, Fidelity, Grayscale, ProShares and 21Shares registered record inflows totaling $2. 45 billion globally last week, according to CoinShares’ latest report.
Dominated by the new U. S. spot Bitcoin BTC +0. 94% exchange-traded funds, year-to-date inflows to digital asset investment products now stand at $5. 2 billion.
Combined with recent price increases, assets under management at the crypto investment firms now stand at $67 billion — the highest level since December 2021 amid the peak of the last bull market — CoinShares Head of Research James Butterfill wrote.

The United States continued its regional dominance, accounting for 99% of the weekly inflows, totaling $2. 4 billion. Switzerland and Germany-based funds registered modest inflows of $16. 7 million and $13. 3 million, respectively, while Sweden witnessed the largest regional outflows of $26. 3 million.
The significant acceleration of net inflows, alongside a reduction in outflows from incumbents such as Grayscale’s converted GBTC fund, indicates increasing interest in the new U. S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, according to Butterfill.
Unsurprisingly, bitcoin investment products also dominated, again accounting for 99% of last week’s inflows. However, some investors increased their short positions, with $5. 8 million worth of inflows added to short-bitcoin products.
Ether led in terms of altcoin-based funds, witnessing $21. 1 million in inflows. Avalanche funds saw inflows of $1 million, and Chainlink and Polygon products both added $900,000 — continuing their consistent weekly inflow streak.
However, Solana investment products did not fare so well, registering $1. 6 million in outflows with the networks recent downtime dampening sentiment, Butterfill argued.
Blockchain equity ETF investors also took profits last week, leading to outflows totaling $167 million, Butterfill added.
