Strong Inflows Highlight Positive Market Sentiment

Digital asset exchange-traded products (ETPs) recorded impressive inflows of $716 million last week, marking a continued improvement in market sentiment, according to CoinShares. This surge brought the total assets under management (AuM) to $180 billion, although this figure still lags behind the all-time high of $264 billion.

Regional Contributions to ETP Inflows

The inflows were largely driven by investments from several key regions, with the United States leading the charge at $483 million. Germany and Canada also made significant contributions, with inflows of $96.9 million and $80.7 million, respectively. This broad-based interest underscores a growing confidence in digital asset markets worldwide.

Bitcoin and XRP Lead the Charge

Bitcoin (BTC) was the primary beneficiary of these inflows, attracting $352 million. This brings the year-to-date (YTD) total for Bitcoin to $27.1 billion, though it remains below the $41.6 billion seen in 2024. Notably, short-Bitcoin products experienced outflows of $18.7 million, the largest since March 2025, indicating a potential shift in investor sentiment away from bearish positions.

XRP also saw substantial inflows of $245 million, bringing its YTD inflows to $3.1 billion, a significant increase compared to the $608 million recorded in 2024. Chainlink (LINK) reported record inflows of $52.8 million, representing over 54% of its AuM.

Market Outlook and Investor Sentiment

Despite the positive trend, minor outflows were observed on Thursday and Friday, likely in response to US macroeconomic data pointing to ongoing inflationary pressures. However, the overall increase in inflows suggests that investors are becoming more optimistic about the prospects of digital assets.
