Key Takeaways
  • Digital asset investments have recorded over $10 billion in net inflows this year.
  • U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs command $131.39 billion in net assets, or 6.11% of BTC’s market cap.
  • BlackRock’s BTC fund recorded $2.43 billion in net inflows last week.

Crypto investment products and Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are on a hot streak after recording over $3 billion in net inflows last week, following six weeks of bullish action.

Now, year-to-date (YTD) inflows stand at a record $10.8 billion as BTC soars to $110,000.

Huge Inflows

Crypto investment products saw a major boost last week, with $3.3 billion in net inflows, according to the latest report from CoinShares. The surge brings year-to-date inflows to a record $10.8 billion.

Assets under management (AUM) also briefly touched a new all-time high of $187.5 billion. CoinShares attributes the momentum to growing concerns over the U.S. economy and rising treasury yields, which are pushing investors to diversify into digital assets.

The U.S. dominated inflows with $3.2 billion, followed by Germany with $41.5 million, Hong Kong with $33.3 million, and Australia with $10.9 million.

Bitcoin led the way, attracting $2.9 billion in inflows. Interestingly, short-Bitcoin products also saw a spike, with $12.7 million entering the market — the largest weekly inflow for shorts since December 2024.

Ethereum products totaled $326 million, marking their best week in over three months. Of that, $248.31 million came from ETH ETFs, their strongest inflow since last December, according to SoSoValue.

Not all altcoins participated in the rally. Ripple’s (XRP) impressive 80-week inflow streak ended with $37.2 million in outflows.

Bitcoin ETFs

According to data gathered by SoSoValue, Bitcoin ETFs recorded a staggering $2.75 billion in weekly total net inflows for the week ending May 23, 2025, marking a seventh consecutive week of inflows.

The leading BTC ETF by cumulative inflows and net assets, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), was the dominant force last week, garnering $2.43 billion in cumulative net inflows.

To date, IBIT has recorded $47.98 billion in cumulative net inflows. It currently commands a gigantic $71.42 billion in net assets, which is 3.32% of BTC’s market cap.

The consistent inflows have given both institutional and retail markets a bullish boost over the past two months, which has subsequently seen BTC rally to new all-time highs, and is currently trading at just under $110,0000.
