Digital asset investment products recorded $2.17bn in inflows last week marking their strongest weekly inflows since October 2025, according to the latest data from CoinShares.
The surge came despite a sharp deterioration in sentiment toward the end of the week driven by geopolitical tensions, renewed tariff threats and uncertainty surrounding US monetary policy leadership.
Inflows were front-loaded earlier in the week before reversing on Friday when digital asset products saw $378M in outflows following diplomatic escalation related to Greenland and renewed concerns over global trade policy.
Markets were also unsettled by indications that Kevin Hassett — widely viewed as a policy dove and a leading contender for the next US Federal Reserve Chair — is likely to remain in his current role.
Bitcoin Dominates While Ethereum and Solana Show Resilience
At the asset level Bitcoin continued to dominate attracting $1.55 billion in inflows reinforcing its role as the primary institutional gateway into digital assets during periods of uncertainty. CoinShares notes that Bitcoin inflows remained robust despite macro-driven volatility and regulatory noise.
Ethereum and Solana also demonstrated resilience. Ethereum products recorded $496M in inflows, while Solana attracted $45.5M even as lawmakers in the US Senate Banking Committee floated proposals under the CLARITY Act that could restrict yield-bearing stablecoins.
The continued inflows suggest investors remain confident in the long-term utility of smart contract platforms despite evolving regulatory risks.
Broad-Based Altcoin Demand Persists
Beyond the major assets, a wide range of altcoins posted positive flows, highlighting improving risk appetite earlier in the week. XRP led altcoin inflows with $69.5M, followed by Sui ($5.7M), Lido ($3.7M) and Hedera ($2.6M).
CoinShares data indicates that while altcoin allocations remain modest compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum, investors are selectively re-engaging with the broader market, favouring assets with established liquidity, infrastructure, or clear network narratives.
Regional Strength and Blockchain Equities Stand Out
Regionally, flows were overwhelmingly positive. The US led with $2.05 billion in inflows, while Germany ($63.9M), Switzerland ($41.6M), Canada ($12.3M) and the Netherlands ($6.0M) also saw notable demand.
Blockchain equities also delivered a strong performance, attracting $72.6M in inflows during the week. According to CoinShares the strength in equity-linked products underscores sustained investor interest across the wider digital asset ecosystem, extending beyond tokens into publicly listed companies tied to blockchain infrastructure and services.
While late-week sentiment weakened CoinShares’ data suggests institutional demand for digital asset exposure remains resilient, with investors continuing to allocate capital despite macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty.
