Digital Asset Investment Products See Nine Week Streak with $12.9 Billion Total Inflows

Global cryptocurrency investment products recorded $1.9 billion of inflows during the trading week ended Friday, according to CoinShares research released Monday. This performance extended a nine-week streak of inflows totaling $12.9 billion. The surge occurred as Bitcoin traded close to new highs and Ether briefly surged past $2,800 for the first time since February.

Market Performance and ETF Impact

Bitcoin investment products dominated the week with $1.3 billion of inflows after two weeks of minor outflows. Total assets under management in crypto ETPs reached $179 billion, up from $175.9 billion the previous week. CoinShares head of research James Butterfill noted the weekly performance set a historic record of year-to-date inflows at $13.2 billion.

Bloomberg reported BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust posted its largest-ever monthly inflow in May, attracting more than $6.35 billion in net inflows. The surge lifted total assets under management to over $71 billion, demonstrating growing institutional appetite amid global market turbulence.

Short-Bitcoin products recorded modest inflows of $3.7 million, though their assets under management remained low at $96 million. The data suggests institutional investors maintain confidence in Bitcoin's long-term prospects despite periodic volatility.

Institutional Investment Surge

BlackRock's crypto ETF led gains among issuers with $1.5 billion of inflows last week, pushing year-to-date inflows past $14.2 billion. CoinDesk analysis showed the fund's 90-day rolling volatility dropped to 47.64, the lowest since its January 2024 debut.

Gate.com reported Bitcoin prices broke through $100,000 in May 2025, setting new all-time highs. The continued entry of institutional investors represents one of the important factors driving the rise in Bitcoin prices throughout 2025. Bitcoin ETF inflows provide a convenient channel for traditional financial institutions to participate in the cryptocurrency market.

All US-issued crypto ETFs posted minor weekly inflows of up to $95 million. ProShares stands as the only issuer with no year-to-date outflows, recording $437 million in inflows. Meanwhile, Grayscale continues leading losses with more than $1.6 billion of outflows despite the broader market recovery.

Ethereum and Alternative Assets

Ether ETPs ranked second in inflows, maintaining positive trends with $583 million in inflows last week. According to CoinShares research, these inflows represented Ethereum's largest gains since February, including the strongest single-day inflows.

CryptoSlate reported Ethereum ETF inflows reached the second-highest level in 2025, with $240 million demonstrating investor enthusiasm despite product limitations. Ethereum-linked ETFs hold $3.74 billion in net inflows and $11.05 billion in net assets, representing around 3.25% of the cryptocurrency's market value.

Following three weeks of outflows, XRP investment products saw $11.8 million in inflows. Sui products attracted an additional $3.5 million in inflows, showing diversification beyond major cryptocurrencies. Changelly analysis suggests Ethereum could reach between $5,000 and $6,500 by 2025, driven by increasing institutional adoption and network improvements.

Market Context and Future Outlook

The institutional adoption wave reflects broader acceptance of cryptocurrency as a legitimate asset class. CNBC reported several industry experts forecast Bitcoin will hit $200,000 in 2025, with the highest prediction reaching $250,000. Standard Chartered expects institutional flows into Bitcoin to continue at or above 2024 pace next year.

InvestingHaven research indicates Bitcoin's 2025 outlook points to strong price growth, driven by institutional adoption, regulatory clarity, and enhanced infrastructure. The Federal Reserve's pace of rate cuts and overall liquidity conditions will play important roles in shaping Bitcoin's price trajectory.

Current market dynamics differ from previous cycles due to increased institutional participation. Traditional financial advisors now recommend Bitcoin ETFs as accessible cryptocurrency exposure for mainstream investors. The shift from retail-dominated flows to institutional investment creates more stable market conditions and reduced volatility compared to historical patterns.

Political developments add momentum to cryptocurrency adoption. Pro-crypto policies and reduced regulatory uncertainty have removed barriers for institutional players seeking digital asset exposure. The combination of regulatory clarity, institutional infrastructure, and growing acceptance positions cryptocurrency investment products for continued growth throughout 2025.
