Investor confidence in digital assets surged last week, as crypto investment funds attracted a massive $3.7 billion in net inflows, marking one of the strongest weeks of 2025 so far. The spike in activity came as Bitcoin climbed to a new all-time high of $118,000, according to a report from CoinShares.

The latest surge pushed the total assets under management (AUM) for cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs) to a record $211 billion, underscoring a wave of institutional and retail enthusiasm in a rapidly evolving market.
Bitcoin Leads the Charge
Bitcoin-based investment products were the biggest beneficiaries, bringing in $2.7 billion—roughly 73% of total weekly inflows. This represents a strong rebound from the previous week’s inflows of $790 million, which had marked a slowdown amid concerns over Bitcoin nearing resistance levels.
But the pause was short-lived. According to SoSoValue, Bitcoin ETFs recorded more than $1 billion in daily inflows the very next day, as the leading cryptocurrency shattered its previous price records. The total AUM for Bitcoin ETPs now sits at $179.5 billion—about 54% of the assets held in gold-backed ETPs, a notable milestone in the ongoing narrative of Bitcoin as "digital gold."
Ethereum Maintains Momentum
Ethereum also held investor attention, with Ether ETPs marking their twelfth consecutive week of inflows. The $990 million in fresh capital marked Ethereum’s fourth-largest weekly inflow ever.
"In relative terms, Ethereum’s inflows over the past 12 weeks represent nearly 20% of its total assets under management, outpacing Bitcoin’s 9.8% during the same period," noted James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares.
Meanwhile, XRP saw the largest outflows of any crypto product last week, losing $104 million. Solana, in contrast, attracted strong interest with $92.6 million in inflows.
Broad Support from U.S. Issuers
The inflows were broadly spread across U.S.-based fund providers. BlackRock’s iShares suite continued to dominate, raking in $2.4 billion. Fidelity followed with $400 million, and ARK Invest drew $339 million in new investments. Most of the inflow momentum centered around the U.S., though Europe showed mixed results. CoinShares itself saw minor outflows totaling $16 million.
