Crypto Funds Ride High: $716 Million Pours In as Total Assets Climb to $180 Billion
- Digital asset exchange-traded products (ETPs) made $716 million last week, the second week in a row of gains.
- The total amount of money managed reached $180 billion, which is almost 8% more than the low point in November, but it is still short of the high point of $264 billion.
- Bitcoin brought in the most money, $352 million; XRP brought in $245 million (a big jump from last year); and Chainlink brought in $52.8 million.
Digital asset ETPs are in the news again, and as the crypto market calms down, more people are putting money into them. CoinShares just released a new report that says these investment vehicles—think of them as simple ways to bet on crypto without actually owning coins had a lot of money come in over the past week, totaling $716 million. Because of this push, the total assets under management (AUM) have grown to $180 billion. Even though the number is still below the all-time high of $264 billion, this shows that people are more confident.
Bitcoin is still the best, bringing in $352 million in new money. That’s part of a bigger pattern. Bitcoin ETPs have made $27.1 billion this year, which is less than the $41.6 billion they made in 2024, which was their best year ever. XRP also got some attention, bringing in $245 million. That brought its total for the year to $3.1 billion, which is a big jump from $608 million last year. Chainlink brought in $52.8 million, which is more than half of its total AUM and the most it has ever made in a week.
On the other hand, products that bet against Bitcoin (short-Bitcoin) lost $18.7 million, which is the most since March 2025. This mix shows that investors think that big coins will go up, not down.
With $483 million, the U.S. came in first. This shows that American investors still want to get into crypto. Germany gave $96.9 million, and Canada gave $80.7 million. This global spread shows how ETPs are making it easier for both regular people and big businesses to get involved with digital assets and traditional finance.
James Butterfill, who is in charge of research at CoinShares, said in the report, “This rise in inflows shows that investors are feeling better because the overall market is getting better.” His words show that the industry is becoming more hopeful.
