Bitcoin Tops $1.1 Billion Crypto Inflows as Ethereum Posts Strong Rebound

Bitcoin Leads Inflows As Market Sentiment Improves

Digital asset investment products recorded US$1.1 billion in inflows during the past week. This marks the highest weekly total since early January. The rise came as investor sentiment improved across global markets.

Lower than expected US CPI data supported risk appetite. At the same time, easing geopolitical tensions added confidence among investors. These factors helped push fresh capital into crypto funds.

Bitcoin remained the main driver of these inflows. It attracted US$871 million during the week. This brought its year-to-date total close to US$2 billion.

However, short Bitcoin products also saw activity. They recorded US$20.2 million in inflows. This was the largest weekly figure since November 2024, and it pointed to continued hedging by some investors.

A market note stated, ‘$871M BTC inflows alongside rising short-bitcoin products is a notable split.’ It added that these positions may reflect hedging rather than bearish views.

Ethereum Rebounds While Regional Flows Stay US-Focused

Ethereum showed a recovery in investor demand during the same period. It recorded inflows of US$196.5 million. This marked a shift after weeks of weaker sentiment.

Despite the recent inflows, Ethereum remains in a net outflow position for the year. This shows that earlier withdrawals still outweigh recent gains. Still, the latest data suggests improving confidence.

Other digital assets saw limited movement. XRP recorded inflows of US$19.3 million. Meanwhile, Solana posted small outflows of US$2.5 million during the week.

Regionally, the United States dominated the inflow data. It accounted for US$1.06 billion, or about 95% of total flows. This shows that US investors drove most of the activity.

Germany followed with US$34.6 million in inflows. Canada and Switzerland reported smaller figures of US$7.8 million and US$6.9 million. These numbers show a more modest response outside the US.

Trading Volumes Rise But Remain Below Yearly Average

Trading activity increased during the week, although it stayed below typical levels. Volumes rose by 13% compared to the previous week. However, total trading reached only US$21 billion.

This remains below the year-to-date weekly average of US$31 billion. The gap suggests that while inflows improved, overall trading activity is still moderate. Investors may be adding positions without heavy trading.

Assets under management also showed recovery. Total AuM returned to levels last seen in early February. This reflects both price stability and renewed inflows into funds.

The mix of strong Bitcoin inflows and rising short positions suggests a balanced approach. Some investors appear to be adding exposure, while others are managing risk. A note stated, ‘The shorts could be institutional hedges on spot ETF positions, not directional bets.’

As market conditions stabilize, fund flows may continue to respond to macro signals. Investors are closely monitoring inflation data and global developments. These factors remain key drivers of crypto fund activity.
