Institutional investors continue showing strong confidence in cryptocurrency markets, with year-to-date inflows reaching $15.1 billion despite ongoing volatility and geopolitical uncertainty. Bitcoin remains the dominant force, capturing nearly 89% of last week’s total inflows with $1.1 billion invested.
Ethereum demonstrates sustained momentum, registering nine consecutive weeks of positive inflows totaling $2.2 billion. This represents Ethereum’s longest inflow streak since mid-2021, signaling growing institutional endorsement beyond Bitcoin-focused strategies.
Market turbulence has minimally impacted investor behavior, evidenced by only marginal outflows from short-Bitcoin products. Regional disparities in investment patterns remain pronounced, with U.S. markets dominating ($1.25 billion in inflows) while Canada and Germany saw modest contributions. Conversely, Hong Kong and Switzerland experienced capital outflows during the same period.
Alternative cryptocurrencies maintained steady appeal, with Solana attracting $2.78 million and Cardano securing $2.69 million in institutional inflows, highlighting continued diversification within portfolios despite Bitcoin and Ethereum’s overwhelming market dominance.
