Bitcoin Leads $619M Crypto Inflows as XRP Sees $30M Outflows

Crypto asset investment products attracted $619 million in inflows last week, led by Bitcoin. 

The major inflow reflects resilient investor sentiment despite geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

According to data from CoinShares, early-week optimism drove $1.44 billion in inflows during the first three days. However, sentiment weakened later in the week, with $829 million in outflows on Thursday and Friday.

The shift came even as payroll data suggested a softer labor market, with rising oil prices offsetting expectations of lower inflation.

Despite the late-week pullback, overall flows signaled that investors still viewed digital assets positively amid geopolitical uncertainty.

Key Points

Bitcoin Dominates Inflows

Bitcoin dominated investment activity, drawing $521 million in inflows, accounting for the majority of capital entering digital asset products. The latest inflow has improved the year-to-date inflow figure to $117 million.

At the same time, investor sentiment remained somewhat divided. Short-Bitcoin investment products attracted $11.4 million. In other words, some traders were positioning for potential downside even as overall demand remains strong.

Ethereum and Solana Attract Altcoin Interest

Among altcoins, Ethereum recorded $88.5 million in inflows, making it the second-largest beneficiary of investor capital. However, its year-to-date inflow figure remains in the red with netflow of -$340 million.

Solana also saw notable interest with $14.6 million in inflows, improving YTD inflows to $170 million. Smaller allocations flowed into assets such as Chainlink and Uniswap, each attracting about $1.4 million.

XRP Records Weekly Outflows

In contrast, XRP experienced $30.3 million in outflows, making it one of the few major digital assets to see investors withdraw funds during the week. Notably, XRP investment products had defied the markets in the past weeks, attracting inflows while investors rotated out of Bitcoin. Meanwhile, the last figures suggest the momentum has faded.

U.S. Investors Drive the Market

Regionally, the United States was the primary driver of inflows, contributing $646 million. Other regions were more cautious. Investors in Europe recorded $23.8 million in outflows. Funds in Asia and Canada saw $2.2 million and $3.6 million in withdrawals, respectively.

Overall, the data suggests that institutional demand for digital assets remained resilient, even as macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions shaped investor sentiment throughout the week.
