Digital Asset Funds Post 9th Straight Week of Inflows as YTD Hits $13.2B

Digital asset funds attracted $1.9 billion last week, extending a 9-week streak. But the headline number hides a key trend: massive Ethereum inflows are offsetting caution and outflows in Bitcoin.
The sustained run began earlier in 2025 and contributed $12.9B over the nine-week period. Flows continued despite broader market pressures from geopolitical uncertainties affecting traditional risk assets.
A Tale of Two Titans: Ethereum Shines, Bitcoin Stumbles
The week's flows revealed a sharp divergence between the two leading crypto assets.
Ethereum-focused products were the clear winners, posting $583 million in inflows (strongest weekly performance since February). This surge, driven by record-setting daily demand for new spot ETFs like BlackRock's ETHA, brought cumulative ETH fund inflows to $2 billion for 2025.
Bitcoin, meanwhile, showed signs of weakness. While it captured $1.3 billion in net inflows, this followed two weeks of modest outflows. Furthermore, a small but notable $3.7 million inflow into short-Bitcoin products indicates that some bearish sentiment and hedging activity still linger among traders.
Elsewhere, altcoins saw minor activity, with XRP and Sui attracting $11.8 million and $3.5 million respectively.
Regional Breakdown Shows US Dominance
The United States accounted for $1.9 billion of the weekly inflows, representing the bulk of global flows. Switzerland, Germany and Canada recorded smaller but positive inflows.Hong Kong and Brazil posted outflows during the week, going against the broader trend of positive flows into digital asset products.
Investors diversify strategies: the rise in short-product interest reflects more sophisticated positioning. Short-Bitcoin inflows, though modest relative to long positions, signal that market participants seek tools to manage downside risk.
The market's ability to absorb both long and short flows enhances liquidity and resilience. In traditional finance, events like Boeing share sell-offs after deadly crashes create price pressure but reveal willing buyers at fair levels, leaving broader consensus intact.
Crypto's expanding product suite deepens order books and narrows bid-ask spreads. The evolution points to market maturation with higher liquidity, more efficient price discovery, and structures that handle shocks without derailing long-term trends. This growing structural resilience, despite pockets of bearish sentiment, is perhaps the most bullish signal for the market's long-term health.
