Global events shifted the tone. Markets reacted fast. Geopolitical pressure played a clear role. Diplomatic tensions linked to Greenland raised concern. Fresh tariff threats added stress. Policy signals also shaped sentiment.
Reports suggested Kevin Hassett may remain in his current role. Investors viewed this as a signal of policy continuity. That view reduced expectations of near-term shifts. Outflows reached US$378m by the end of the week. The pullback did not erase gains. It showed caution rather than exit.
Bitcoin Leads a Broad Crypto Recovery
Bitcoin dominated flows and set the pace. Products tied to the asset drew US$1.55bn. Investors treated Bitcoin as the primary hedge. They favored liquidity and scale. The move showed confidence in its market role. It also reflected demand from large allocators.
Ethereum followed with strength. It secured US$496m in inflows. This came despite policy debate in the United States. Proposed changes under the CLARITY Act raised concern around stablecoin yield.
Investors stayed engaged. They focused on network use and long-term growth. Solana also attracted interest. It added US$45.5m during the week. The inflows reflected activity across applications and users.
Altcoins showed wide-based demand. XRP led this group with US$69.5m. Sui followed with US$5.7m. LIDO gained US$3.7m. Hedera added US$2.6m. These flows showed selective risk-taking. Investors spread exposure across themes and networks.
Regional Demand Shows Global Confidence
The amounts also were large geographically. The United States dominated the chart by a large margin. It contributed a total of US$2.05 billion. Europe took the second position with constant contributions. Germany contributed a total of US$63.9 million. Switzerland contributed a total of US$41.6 million
The Netherlands added €6.0m. There was international support in terms of the spread. There was no dependence on a single market in terms of demand. This was a sign of support by institutions. There was a rise in the number of assets managed in the earlier parts of the week. There was a change in the latter parts as risk escalated.
The blockchain equity market was also performing well in terms of performance. The market had net inflows of US$72.6m. The investors considered the companies as picks and shovels. The firms provide investment opportunities without exposing the investors to the risk of the tokens.
This was a week that ended with confusing signals having been sent out. The large numbers were followed by caution that came a little late in the week. However, it was also clear that the market had some level of resilience. The capital did not withdraw. The digital asset market began the week positively.
