The cryptocurrency market continues to show signs of sustained recovery, recording another positive week in institutional capital flows. According to the latest CoinShares report, digital asset investment products captured a total of $716 million, suggesting that investor confidence is gradually rebuilding following a period of notable volatility in the sector.
Regarding the geographical breakdown of these financial movements, the United States led demand by a significant margin. The North American region accounted for $483 million of the weekly inflows, consolidating its dominance in global market sentiment. It was followed by Germany and Canada, which maintained net positive positions with inflows of $96.9 million and $80.7 million respectively, reaffirming that these three nations have driven the bulk of demand during 2025.
On the other hand, Bitcoin remained the largest beneficiary in absolute terms, attracting $352 million in the last week. It is relevant to highlight that short-Bitcoin investment products recorded outflows, signalling a further easing of negative sentiment toward the leading asset. However, CoinShares highlights that Bitcoin has been a relative laggard this year, with year-to-date inflows of $27.7 billion, compared to $41 billion over the same period in 2024.
Is Institutional Capital Aggressively Diversifying Into Specific Altcoins?
Likewise, Ethereum continues to close the gap with impressive strength in the current market. The second-largest cryptocurrency recorded weekly inflows of $338 million, lifting its annual cumulative to $13.3 billion. This figure represents a 148% increase compared to the previous year, reflecting a growing institutional engagement with Ethereum-based products and a validation of its long-term value proposition.
Furthermore, other assets like XRP and Chainlink showed outstanding performance in this reporting cycle. XRP attracted $245 million, while Chainlink posted a record weekly inflow of $52.8 million, equivalent to 54% of its total assets under management. Nevertheless, appetite is not indiscriminate; assets like Hyperliquid saw outflows, indicating that investors are increasing exposure in a selective manner rather than making broad risk-on bets across the entire ecosystem.
Finally, the data points to a market that is stabilizing progressively following recent macroeconomic adjustments. Although total assets under management remain below the all-time high, capital is clearly gravitating toward established digital assets, suggesting a “cautious yet increasingly optimistic” investor base. Thus, the accumulation trend in large-cap digital asset investment is expected to continue consolidating in the coming weeks.
