Bitcoin and Ethereum Lead the Way in Continued Bullish Trend
Crypto investment funds managed by major financial institutions like BlackRock, Fidelity, Grayscale, and Bitwise attracted a massive $1.9 billion in net inflows globally last week. This marks the ninth consecutive week of positive momentum, pushing total year-to-date inflows to a record-breaking $13.2 billion.
Despite ongoing global geopolitical tensions, digital assets continued to gain popularity among investors, standing alongside traditional safe havens like gold. The strong demand underscores growing confidence in the long-term value of cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin spearheaded last week’s surge, recording $1.3 billion in inflows after two weeks of slight outflows. The majority of these gains came from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, highlighting renewed institutional and retail interest. Meanwhile, Ethereum-based products also saw significant action, adding $585 million in new capital. This brings Ethereum’s total inflows to $2 billion since February, marking one of its strongest runs in recent memory.
XRP and Sui-Based Funds Attract New Interest
Smaller altcoins also joined the rally. XRP-based funds brought in $11.8 million, while Sui-based products attracted $3.5 million in fresh inflows. These numbers reflect a growing appetite for diversification within the digital asset space, as investors explore beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The United States led global inflows, contributing the full $1.9 billion for the week. Switzerland, Germany, and Canada followed as the next biggest contributors to the surge. However, not all regions were bullish — some markets, including Hong Kong and Brazil, experienced net outflows, showing a mixed global sentiment but overall resilient investor confidence.
As crypto markets continue to mature and regulatory clarity improves, institutional interest remains a driving force. If the trend continues, 2025 could shape up to be a landmark year for digital asset adoption and growth.
