Digital asset investment products saw a sharp reversal in sentiment last week, recording $1.07 billion in net inflows, according to newly published data from CoinShares. This marks a strong rebound after a difficult stretch that included four consecutive weeks of outflows totaling $5.7 billion.
The renewed interest came as Federal Open Market Committee member John Williams suggested that current monetary policy remains restrictive, fueling expectations of a potential rate cut this month — a development that historically supports risk-on assets like crypto.
Trading activity did cool slightly due to the Thanksgiving slowdown, with crypto ETP volumes dropping to $24 billion, down from the previous week’s record-breaking $56 billion.
Bitcoin Reclaims Investor Confidence
Bitcoin investment products led the sector’s turnaround, bringing in $464 million in fresh inflows. CoinShares notes that sentiment has shifted away from bearish positioning, with investors moving out of short BTC trades. Correspondingly, short-Bitcoin products saw $1.9 million in outflows.
Despite the weekly recovery, month-to-date flows for Bitcoin remain negative at $2.81 billion, reflecting the heavy selling pressure from earlier weeks. Still, the broader picture remains positive: year-to-date inflows stand at $26.78 billion, supporting a strong $142.66 billion in assets under management for BTC investment products.
Performance varied by provider:
- Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin led with $230 million in inflows.
- iShares Bitcoin ETP followed with $120 million.
- Volatility Shares Trust added $160 million.
- Grayscale posted $56 million, marking a notable shift after recent outflow-dominated activity.
The concentration of inflows at the top tier of providers suggests institutional investors are consolidating around the most liquid and reputable BTC products.
XRP Posts Record-Breaking Inflows
The standout of the week was XRP, which saw its largest inflow ever recorded at $289 million. This was driven in part by recent United States ETF approvals related to the asset, which appear to have strengthened institutional appetite.
Over the past six weeks, cumulative XRP inflows now represent 29% of its total assets under management — a rapid growth trajectory that few altcoins have matched in 2025.
XRP now sits at:
- $785.4 million in month-to-date inflows
- $2.89 billion in year-to-date inflows
- $3.13 billion total assets under management
While Bitcoin still received a larger absolute dollar amount, XRP’s inflows were more significant relative to its asset base — signaling aggressive accumulation and changing market perception.
Ethereum, Solana, and Multi-Asset Funds Also in the Green
Ethereum products recorded $309.1 million in inflows during the week, further strengthening the broader recovery. However, November’s selling pressure still lingers: month-to-date ETH flows remain negative at $1.40 billion. Even so, Ethereum holds strong fundamentals with:
- $12.89 billion in year-to-date inflows
- $25.51 billion AUM
Solana — a favorite among high-performance smart-contract investors — added $4.4 million for the week, bringing:
- $101.7 million month-to-date inflows
- $3.39 billion year-to-date inflows
- $3.45 billion AUM
Multi-asset crypto investment products, which typically hold a diverse basket of coins, also saw renewed demand, attracting $26.3 million in weekly inflows and $37.2 million month-to-date.
Not every asset rode the wave — Cardano saw $19.3 million in outflows, representing 23% of its total AUM, while Litecoin experienced minor outflows of $0.9 million. Sui, in contrast, quietly grew with $0.6 million in inflows.
A Shift in Market Sentiment
The week’s data suggests that large-scale investors are moving back into digital assets after a temporary pullback. Bitcoin dominance remains solid, but the surge in XRP and the resilience of Ethereum show that capital is not flowing into just one sector of the crypto market.
If expectations of a monetary policy shift materialize — especially a near-term rate cut — risk assets could see further capital inflows, supporting stronger price stability and growth across both flagship cryptocurrencies and select altcoins.
This latest surge in crypto ETP inflows may signal the beginning of a renewed accumulation phase, as institutional investors rotate capital back into digital assets ahead of the next macro-driven market catalyst.
