Trump Policies Spark $1.9 Billion Investment Boom in Crypto Funds

Bitcoin products dominated, pulling in $1.6 billion—92% of the total inflows—including investments in BlackRock’s iShares fund. Ethereum followed with $205 million, while other cryptocurrencies saw smaller contributions: XRP attracted $18.5 million, Solana $6.9 million, and Chainlink $6.6 million.

Outside the U.S., where investments totaled $1.7 billion, the largest contributors were Canada, Switzerland, and Germany, with inflows of $31 million, $35 million, and $23 million, respectively. Year-to-date investment volume has already reached $4.8 billion.

Despite relatively low market volatility, total trading volume surpassed $25 billion, representing approximately 37% of activity on leading cryptocurrency exchanges.

Following Bitcoin’s pre-inauguration new all-time highs last week, it was no surprise to see short-Bitcoin ETFs regain traction, with inflows of US$5.1 million,

noted James Butterfill, author of the CoinShares report.

U.S. President Donald Trump recently signed an executive order to establish a regulatory framework and explore the creation of a strategic reserve for digital assets. The crypto community has already called this move historic.

Additionally, Trump pardoned Ross Ulbricht, founder of the Silk Road darknet marketplace. For many, Ulbricht remains a symbol of decentralization and individual freedom.
