According to Coinshares’ latest report, Coinshares’ latest report is that European asset managers focus on digital assets, so crypto investment products continue to attract capital for the fourth consecutive week.
Data shows that global inflows totaled $882 million last week, bringing the year-end volume to $6.7 billion, which is just the peak of $7.3 billion recorded in early February 2025.
Bitcoin triggers inflows; Sui surpasses Solana
Bitcoin remains the primary option for investors, attracting $867 million inflows last week alone. Since its debut in January 2024, US-listed Bitcoin ETFs have crossed a new milestone with cumulative net inflows of $62.9 billion.
This surpassed the previous $61.6 billion compared to earlier this year, enhancing the role of institutional vehicles in driving Bitcoin demand.
By contrast, despite recent prices appreciated, Ethereum has performed relatively softly. Compared to Bitcoin, ETH Products recorded only $1.5 million inflows, which is a marginal figure.
Meanwhile, Suii’s other layer protocol, SUI, had an influx of $11.7 million, pushing it to $84 million at the beginning of the year to $84 million, overshadowing Solana’s $76 million. It is worth noting that Solana saw an outflow of $3.4 million during the same period, indicating that capital has turned to a new blockchain network.
Against the backdrop of rising macroeconomic uncertainty, the continued rise in capital allocation is due to emergence. James Butterfill, head of research at Coinshares, attributed the surge in digital asset inflows to several convergence factors.
These include increased global M2 money supply, concerns about US stagnation and actions by U.S. states to recently recognize Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset. The combination of these developments appears to strengthen institutional interest in cryptocurrency exposure.
Regional collapse and broader trends
Regionally, the U.S. led all markets with $840 million inflows, followed by Germany, with $44.5 million and Australia at $10.2 million. By comparison, Canada and Hong Kong released CAD 8 million and CAD 4.3 million respectively.
Geographical differences may reflect different levels of investor sentiment, regulatory clarity, and availability of institutional products across jurisdictions.
The Coinshares report also hints at the rising role of macroeconomic drivers in crypto investment strategies. The report notes that institutional investors increasingly view digital assets as a hedge against Fiat’s depreciation and economic volatility.
Developments such as U.S. state-level legislation are strengthening this view, which acknowledges that Bitcoin is a wider rise in reserve assets and fiat liquidity.
While Bitcoin continues to dominate the flow, the performance of new assets such as SUI highlights growing interest in blockchain infrastructure alternatives. If this trend continues, fund managers may increasingly outgrow the two traditional digital assets in their product offerings and investor outreach strategies.
