Digital asset investment products showed remarkable resilience last week, with $3.17 billion in inflows despite one of the sharpest price corrections of the year, according to CoinShares. The surge came even as markets reeled from the impact of renewed U.S.–China tariff tensions announced by President Donald Trump.
Record Trading Volumes and Investor Activity
Weekly ETP trading volumes soared to an all-time high of $53 billion, more than double the 2025 average, while Friday alone saw a record $15.3 billion in trading activity. Although total assets under management (AUM) dropped by 7% from last week’s peak to $242 billion, the scale of inflows signaled strong investor conviction amid volatility.
Bitcoin and Ethereum Lead Inflows
Bitcoin dominated with $2.67 billion in weekly inflows, lifting its year-to-date total to $30.2 billion. Despite the correction, daily trading volume hit $10.4 billion on Friday, the highest ever recorded. Ethereum followed with $338 million in inflows, though the asset also faced $172 million in outflows on Friday, suggesting it was viewed as more vulnerable during the pullback.
Solana and XRP ETFs Lose Momentum
While Solana (SOL) and XRP continue to attract attention ahead of their expected U.S. ETF approvals, weekly inflows have slowed to $93.3 million and $61.6 million, respectively. Meanwhile, multi-asset products recorded outflows of $35.2 million, indicating a shift toward single-asset exposure during uncertain market conditions.
Institutional Confidence Remains Intact
Year-to-date inflows have now climbed to a record $48.7 billion, surpassing 2024’s full-year total. The data highlights how institutions continue to accumulate digital assets despite macroeconomic headwinds. Analysts say the buying pressure reflects long-term confidence in crypto’s role as a hedge against traditional market instability.
