The latest “Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report” from CoinShares, a Europe-based asset management company providing exchange-traded products and research services to the cryptocurrency market, has highlighted a remarkable achievement in weekly inflows. According to the report, cryptocurrency-based investment products saw a record-breaking weekly inflow of $4.39 billion last week. This historic sum has boosted the year-to-date inflows to $27 billion, while assets under management (AuM) have soared to $220 billion. Remarkably, a significant portion of this record, amounting to $4.36 billion, originated from the United States, with Ethereum (ETH) 
$2,273 spearheading the inflows with $2.12 billion, cementing its status as the altcoin king.
Ethereum Reaches New Heights
The inflow of fresh capital into Ethereum reached $2.12 billion, almost doubling the previous record of $1.2 billion. Over a continuous 13-week inflow streak, Ethereum has now managed assets accounting for 23% of its total holdings. Since the beginning of the year, net inflows into Ethereum-based investment products have climbed to $6.2 billion, surpassing the total for the year 2024. This significant momentum secured Ethereum its place as the most preferred cryptocurrency-based investment product of the week by volume.
While Bitcoin 
$74,104 inflows remained at $2.2 billion, it represented 55% of the trading volume in the cryptocurrency-based investment products market. Despite Ethereum’s impressive run, other altcoins also recorded notable entries. Solana 
$84 attracted $39.1 million, XRP brought in $36.1 million, Sui saw $9.3 million, Chainlink 
$9 received $900,000, and Cardano 
$0.24261 gathered $300,000 in small but substantial investments. This activity helped drive the total trading volume of cryptocurrency-based investment products to an unprecedented $39.2 billion.
U.S. Demand Steers the Market
A whopping 99% of the weekly inflows came from the U.S. market, underlining the country’s undeniable influence on global cryptocurrency-based investment products. Switzerland, Hong Kong, and Australia recorded entries of $47.3 million, $14.1 million, and $17.3 million, respectively. Meanwhile, Brazil and Germany experienced limited outflows, with $28.1 million and $15.5 million, respectively.
The rising demand has also fueled trading volumes of spot cryptocurrency ETFs in the U.S., pushing the weekly total trading volume of cryptocurrency-based investment products to the brink of $40 billion for the first time in history. While Bitcoin and Ethereum comprised a significant portion of this volume, smaller altcoin-based investment products also benefitted from the increased liquidity.
