The digital asset landscape is buzzing with renewed investor enthusiasm, marking a significant pivot in market sentiment. Over the past three weeks, investment products targeting digital assets have seen remarkable inflows, peaking at $2 billion last week alone. This surge has brought the cumulative inflows to a staggering $5.5 billion, a sharp turnaround from the prolonged nine-week period of outflows that preceded this upswing.
Bitcoin: The Star of the Show
Bitcoin (BTC) continues to steal the limelight, drawing in $1.8 billion last week. While bullish sentiment prevails, it’s worth noting that bearish investors injected $6.4 million into the market, marking a notable increase in short positions—the highest level recorded since mid-December 2025. This mixed sentiment reveals a cautious optimism, with many still acknowledging the potential for volatility ahead.
Ethereum and Emerging Altcoins Gain Traction
Ethereum (ETH) has also proved to be a powerhouse, accumulating inflows of $149 million this week alone and a total of $336 million over the past fortnight. Other altcoins like Solana (SOL), with $6 million in inflows, and XRP and Tezos (XTZ), gaining $10.5 million and $8.2 million respectively, show a burgeoning interest beyond the frontrunners. This diversification in investment reflects a growing confidence in the evolving cryptocurrency ecosystem.
A Global Perspective
On a regional scale, the United States leads the pack with an impressive $1.9 billion in inflows, followed by Germany, Switzerland, and Canada contributing $47 million, $34 million, and $20 million, respectively. This geographical spread of investment showcases a robust, global interest in digital assets, suggesting that the bullish sentiment is not confined to one region but is a worldwide phenomenon.
Blockchain Equities: A Rising Tide
It’s not just digital assets seeing an influx of capital. Blockchain equities have also seen significant inflows amounting to $15.9 million. This growing confidence in blockchain technology underscores its potential for transformative impact, with investors increasingly viewing it as a long-term growth engine.
The Bigger Picture
The total assets under management (AuM) in digital asset investment products have now skyrocketed to $156 billion, the highest level since mid-February. This trend is indicative of a shift towards broader institutional acceptance and retail engagement in the cryptocurrency space.
