From May 19 to 23, the crypto industry recorded a significant increase in interest from investors — $3.3 billion was received in specialized investment products in a week. According to a fresh report from CoinShares, this is the sixth consecutive week of capital inflow into crypto funds, and the total volume of investments since the beginning of 2025 has reached $10.8 billion.
Total assets under management (AuM) updated the record and amounted to $187.5 billion. Analysts say the main growth factor is investor concern about the state of the US economy. Against the backdrop of a decrease in the country's credit rating by Moody's and an increase in government bond yields, market participants are seeking to diversify their portfolios by including crypto assets in them.
The vast majority of the inflow was provided by investors from the United States — $3.2 billion, which is 97% of the total volume. Significantly smaller amounts came from other regions: Germany invested $41.5 million, Hong Kong — $33.3 million, Australia — $10.9 million. At the same time, Switzerland showed the only negative result — the outflow of funds amounted to $16.6 million, which analysts associate with profit-taking against the backdrop of the recent rise in the price of bitcoin.
In terms of distribution by assets, bitcoin remains the leader, as before. BTC-focused products received $2.9 billion in new investments, which already accounts for a quarter of all investments in bitcoin products since the beginning of the year. Interestingly, funds specializing in short positions on bitcoin also attracted $12.7 million — the most since December 2023.
Ethereum-based products took second place in terms of inflow volume. After the technical update called Pectra, interest in ETH has increased significantly. The inflow into Ethereum funds for the week amounted to $326 million - the best result in recent months.
Things are not so good with XRP. Investors withdrew $37.2 million from funds associated with this asset. Analysts note that the reason for the fall was insufficient activity in the XRP market and the absence of serious factors that could provoke growth. It is noteworthy that this is the first outflow in the last 80 weeks; before that, XRP funds had consistently demonstrated positive dynamics.
