Crypto inflows triple, hit $3.7 billion, AuM reaches $211 billion

Crypto inflows surged last week, more than tripling in the week ending July 5. This marked the second-highest weekly inflow on record, indicating sustained institutional momentum. The inflows reached $3.7 billion, pushing total assets under management (AuM) to an all-time high of $211 billion. This surpasses the $200 billion threshold for the first time, reflecting a new all-time high in AuM held within digital assets investment products.

James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, noted that the surge extended the inflow streak to 13 consecutive weeks. Year-to-date (YTD) inflows hit $22.7 billion, and cumulative inflows over the 13-week run reached $21.8 billion. July 10 saw the third-largest daily inflow in history, suggesting a resurgence of bullish sentiment in crypto markets amid shifting macroeconomic conditions and renewed institutional risk appetite.

Bitcoin led the charge, attracting $2.7 billion in weekly inflows, which pushed its total AuM to $179.5 billion. This figure now equals 54% of the total AuM held in gold ETPs (exchange-traded products), reflecting Bitcoin’s rising stature as a macro hedge in investor portfolios. Short Bitcoin products saw minimal movement, suggesting a directional conviction toward continued price appreciation. Meanwhile, Ethereum posted $990 million in inflows, marking its fourth-largest week on record and its 12th straight week of positive flows.

Ethereum’s performance builds on last week’s report, which showed a growing investor preference for Ethereum over Bitcoin amid surging interest in staking and the lead-up to key ecosystem upgrades. Over the past 12 weeks, Ethereum inflows have totaled nearly 19.5% of its total AuM, compared to 9.8% for Bitcoin, indicating a sharper rate of capital rotation into ETH. US-listed crypto ETPs are also gaining traction with institutional and retail investors, attributed to improving regulatory clarity and heightened macro volatility.

Among altcoins, XRP recorded the largest weekly outflows at $104 million, possibly reflecting declining sentiment. The back-to-back billion-dollar weeks suggest a broader rotation into digital assets, supported by macro tailwinds and changing investor behavior. With ETP trading volumes also doubling this year’s weekly average to $29 billion, the digital asset market appears firmly back in growth mode, setting the stage for further upside as capital reallocation intensifies across crypto asset classes.
