Digital asset investment products attracted $3.17 billion in inflows last week, according to a report from CoinShares, even as U.S. tariff threats on Chinese imports triggered a broad cryptocurrency price correction.
The inflows pushed total year-to-date figures to $48.7 billion, surpassing the record set in 2024. Despite the week’s volatility, outflows on Friday were limited to $159 million, suggesting investor resilience amid market uncertainty.
Record Trading Volumes Amid Market Correction
Trading activity in exchange-traded products (ETPs) reached unprecedented levels, with weekly volumes hitting $53 billion — twice the 2025 weekly average. Friday alone accounted for $15.3 billion in turnover, marking the largest single-day volume on record.
Following the tariff announcement, total assets under management fell 7% from the previous week’s peak to $242 billion. The decline reflected price pressure across major digital assets, though investor participation remained strong.
Bitcoin Dominates Digital Asset Inflows as Ethereum Faces Pressure
Bitcoin continued to dominate market activity, securing $2.67 billion in inflows over the week. Year-to-date, Bitcoin products have now drawn $30.2 billion, though still below the $41.7 billion seen in 2024. Trading volumes for Bitcoin hit a daily record of $10.4 billion on Friday, even as inflows slowed to just $0.39 million that day.
Ethereum followed with $338 million in weekly inflows but recorded $172 million in outflows on Friday — the largest single-day withdrawal among all digital assets tracked. CoinShares analysts noted this may indicate investors viewed Ethereum as more exposed to near-term downside risk during the correction.
Mixed Flows for Altcoins Ahead of U.S. ETF Launches
Interest in Solana (SOL) and XRP remained positive but moderated compared with previous weeks. Solana products saw $93.3 million in inflows, while XRP attracted $61.6 million. Analysts attributed the slowdown to profit-taking and cautious positioning ahead of anticipated U.S. exchange-traded fund (ETF) launches for both assets.
Despite broader market turbulence, CoinShares said overall investment sentiment in digital assets remained constructive, underscoring growing institutional participation even during periods of macroeconomic stress.
