Crypto markets saw some serious action last week, with a whopping $286 million flowing into crypto investment products. This makes it seven weeks in a row of positive investment, totaling a massive $10.9 billion!
Overall Assets Dip Despite Inflows
While the money kept pouring in, the total amount of assets under management (AuM) actually went down a bit, dropping from $187 billion to $177 billion. This dip seems to be linked to the usual market jitters, especially worries about US trade policies. A court decision overturning some US tariffs really shook things up mid-week, causing a lot of price swings and reversing Bitcoin’s early gains.
Global Investment Shifts
The investment landscape is changing. The US still attracted the lion’s share of the investment ($199 million), but other places are catching up. Germany and Australia saw nice inflows ($42.9 million and $21.5 million respectively), but Hong Kong really stole the show, hitting its highest weekly inflow ever with $54.8 million! Switzerland, on the other hand, saw $32.8 million pulled out – a pretty unusual move.
Ethereum Soars, Bitcoin Stumbles
Ethereum was the star performer, with $321 million flowing in – its sixth straight week of gains, totaling $1.19 billion! That’s a seriously impressive run. Bitcoin, however, had a different story. It started strong but the tariff news caused a reversal, ending the week with a small outflow of $8 million. This was the first outflow after six weeks of massive gains totaling $9.6 billion. XRP also saw outflows for the second week in a row, losing $28.2 million.
