The post Bitcoin Leads Record-Breaking $5.95B Weekly Crypto Inflows: Reports appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Digital asset investment products saw a record-breaking week, with Bitcoin leading the charge, drawing the most investor attention, while Ethereum and select altcoins like Solana and XRP also saw strong inflows.
The surge reflects growing confidence in the crypto market, driven by rising prices, strong ETF activity, and investors looking for opportunities amid broader economic uncertainty.
Record-Breaking Week for Digital Assets
According to a report from CoinShares, digital asset investment products attracted $5.95 billion in inflows, the largest ever in a single week.
This pushed total assets under management to a record $254 billion, showing renewed confidence in crypto as a mainstream investment.
What Drove The Surge?
The inflows appear to be a delayed reaction to a few key events.
Investors were responding to the FOMC interest rate cut, weak employment numbers from Wednesday’s ADP Payroll report, and concerns over US government stability following the shutdown.
Rising prices helped push investors toward ETFs and other products as they looked for opportunities in relatively uncertain times.
US Leads Global Inflows
The positive sentiment in digital assets was felt across the globe last week, with the US leading the way. The US-focused digital asset products attracted a record $5 billion in inflows, the largest weekly total ever.
Switzerland also saw a record-breaking week, with $563 million flowing into crypto funds, while Germany recorded its second-largest weekly inflows at $312 million.
Top Cryptos Shine
Bitcoin attracted a record $3.55 billion in inflows last week, even as prices approached all-time highs. Investors largely avoided short investment products.
ETF expert Nate Geraci highlighted that spot Bitcoin ETFs have accumulated $25 billion in total inflows this year. Since their launch, these ETFs have surpassed $60 billion in total inflows. “Ridiculous numbers,” he said, highlighting the popularity of these products.
Ethereum Leads, Solana Sees Record Inflows
Ethereum also saw strong interest, with $1.48 billion flowing in last week. This pushed its total year-to-date inflows to a record $13.7 billion, nearly three times last year’s total.
Among other altcoins, Solana gave an impressive performance setting new weekly record, bringing in $706.5 million and lifting its YTD inflows to $2.58 billion. XRP also saw inflows of $219.4 million, while other altcoins like Sui, Litecoin, Cardano and Chainlink saw little activity.
What’s Next for Crypto?
October 2025 could be a huge month for crypto as the U.S. SEC is set to make final decisions on 16 ETF applications. Notably, many of these ETFs also target altcoins like Solana, XRP, and Litecoin.
If the SEC approves these new ETFs, it could attract more investors to crypto, increase market activity, and boost prices. However, the decisions could be delayed due to the U.S government shutdown.
Overall, these decisions could set the tone for crypto markets in the months ahead.
