The price of Bitcoin (BTC) 
$64,566 has surpassed $107,500, hitting a new all-time high of $109,588. The year 2025 is starting off positively for BTC, reminiscent of 2021. However, the situation remains challenging for most altcoins. What insights does the latest institutional investor cryptocurrency report provide us?
Insights from the Cryptocurrency Report
CoinShares has released its weekly cryptocurrency report focused on institutional investors. Last Friday, it was noted that BTC ETFs saw net inflows exceeding $950 million. The optimism surrounding institutional and professional investors regarding the Trump administration has significantly increased their risk appetite.
Last week, cryptocurrency investment products experienced a net inflow of $2.2 billion, marking the largest inflow week of this year. The total inflow since the beginning of the year has surpassed $2.7 billion. With price increases and ongoing net inflows, cryptocurrency ETFs and ETPs catering to professional investors have reached all-time record levels in their reserves.
ETP volumes approached $21 billion last week. U.S. investors accounted for $2 billion of last week’s inflows. Switzerland and Canada followed with inflows of $89 million and $13 million, respectively. Most of the inflows were directed towards Bitcoin products, representing $1.9 billion of the total.
Bears waiting to short Bitcoin opted to stay on the sidelines, resulting in an outflow of $500,000 from BTC short funds. The lack of interest in short-selling funds, despite the high net inflows in spot markets and cryptocurrency ETFs, might reflect expectations for further price increases.
Altcoin Highlights from the Crypto Report
Ethereum 
$1,889‘s spot price remained stagnant; however, it saw $246 million in inflows from institutional investors last week. This balanced out previous net outflows, providing some optimism for the future. Nevertheless, overall interest remains weak, continuing to dampen the morale of Ether-focused altcoin investors.
Solana 
$75 (SOL) recorded an inflow of $2.5 million last week, reaching a new all-time high supported by Trump. XRP Coin also experienced an inflow of $31 million, bringing its total inflow since November to $484 million.
