Amid growing economic instability, digital asset investment products attracted $3.4 billion, marking the highest inflows since December 2024.
Investment Leaders: Bitcoin and Ethereum
According to the latest 'Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly' report, Bitcoin investment funds dominated last week with $3.18 billion in inflows, boosting total digital asset assets under management to $132 billion. This figure is the highest since late February.
Ethereum also reversed its trend, attracting $183 million after eight consecutive weeks of outflows. In contrast, Solana was the only altcoin to experience outflows of $5.7 million.
Global Investment Trends by Region
US investors led the way in digital asset investments last week, contributing $3.3 billion. Germany and Switzerland also saw notable inflows of $51.5 million and $41.4 million, respectively. Australia followed with $4.9 million, while Sweden attracted $4.2 million. Hong Kong recorded a modest gain of $0.3 million.
However, not all regions saw growth—Canada and Brazil recorded minor outflows of $1.6 million and $0.6 million.
Financial Stability and Analyst Perspectives
CoinShares' Head of Research James Butterfill noted that the shift towards digital assets could be driven by mounting fears over tariffs impacting corporate earnings and the steep decline of the US dollar. Investors appear to see digital assets as a potential safe-haven option amid economic instability.
Investments in digital assets continue to gain traction among investors, with recent activity indicating an increasing interest in digital markets despite challenging economic conditions.
