Amid escalated geopolitical tension, the global cryptocurrency products—including ETFs and crypto leveraged trading instruments—recorded $1.9 billion in weekly inflows for last week. This marks the ninth consecutive week of net inflows, pushing the year-to-date total to a record $13.2 billion, with total crypto assets under management now exceeding $179 billion.
As per the latest report by CoinShares, Bitcoin led with over $1.3 billion in inflows, followed by Ethereum, which saw $583.3 million for the week. XRP stood at the third place with a record of $11.8 million in inflows.
This reflects a strategic shift among traditional finance giants, who now see cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum as growing financial assets that could diversify their portfolio.
Among major capital drivers, BlackRock’s ETFs in the U.S. are leading, as they are responsible for nearly 70% of total weekly inflows. Other issuers—including Grayscale, Fidelity, ARK 21 Shares, Bitwise, and others—are following with minimal contributions.
Launched in partnership with Coinbase, iShares IBIT (Bitcoin) ETF has amassed $70 billion in assets under management faster than any previous exchange-traded fund.
“Despite geopolitical concerns weighing on risk assets last week, digital assets remained resilient, attracting inflows alongside gold,” said James Butterfill, the Head of Research at CoinShares.
These inflows underscore a growing institutional appetite for digital assets even as traditional risk assets face uncertainty. With these mammoth inflows, the current market rally appears to be driven by structured ETF activity rather than retail hype.
