  • Digital asset inflows hit $716 million for the second consecutive week, boosting market sentiment.
  • Bitcoin remains the leader, with $352 million inflows, reaching $27.1 billion YTD.
  • XRP saw $245 million in inflows, reflecting rising institutional interest due to regulatory clarity.

Digital asset investment products saw $716 million in inflows for the second consecutive week, signaling a positive shift in market sentiment. After a volatile period in the cryptocurrency space, institutional and retail investors are showing renewed interest. According to CoinShares’ latest report, this increase points to growing confidence in digital asset exposure, especially through exchange-traded products (ETPs).

The total assets managed (AUM) increased by 7.9% since the lows in November to reach $180 billion. This amount is however much lower than the all time high of $264 billion. Although there were slight outflows towards the end of the week due to the macroeconomic uncertainty and as a response to US inflation figures, the overall tendency indicates market sentiment recovery.

The report also focused on the worldwide diffusion of these inflows, implying a general rekindling of investor interest. The United States experienced the highest inflows at $483 million, followed by Germany with $96.9 million, and Canada with $80.7 million.

This geographic distribution highlights a re-embracing of the crypto markets that takes place across the regulated markets in the world, showing that the recovery is not tied solely to a single region.

Bitcoin still led the inflows, and last week they invested $352 million in the asset. This puts the annual (YTD) total of Bitcoin at $27.1 billion, below the record high of $41.6 billion in 2024. Bitcoin is a good investment option for institutional and retail investors, in spite of slower price movement and low volatility in comparison to the old market cycles.

The outflows totaled $18.7 million in short-Bitcoin investment products, the highest outflow since March 2025. This change may indicate that the negative mood on the price of Bitcoin has reached its peak. Investors appear to be shifting ground and thinking that the market may stabilize soon or even come back in the next few months.

XRP was also getting considerable attention, receiving $245 million in inflows last week. This adds to the XRP YTD, which now equals $3.1 billion compared to only $608 million in 2024. The increase indicates the rising institutional interest, which was fuelled by legal and regulatory clarity that has enhanced the positive atmosphere around the asset.

Chainlink experienced weekly inflows of $52.8 million; this is the biggest on record for the token. This is more than 54% of its total assets under management. This growth is driven by more institutional and developer interest in Chainlink oracle infrastructure that is essential in the growing tokenization of real-world assets. This expansion indicates that Chainlink can potentially become a future participant in the digital asset industry.
