Crypto investment funds saw $1.06B inflows for the third week, led by Bitcoin and Ethereum, while XRP recorded $76M outflows, according to latest report.
Digital asset investment products recorded strong inflows of $1.06 billion last week. This marked the third straight week of positive flows into crypto funds. However, XRP had a different trend and it had large outflows. The last report indicated that investors were keen on Bitcoin and Ethereum while decreasing the exposure to XRP.
Bitcoin leads inflows as investors move toward safe assets
According to CoinShares, Bitcoin got the biggest share of inflows in the week. Reports showed that Bitcoin gained about $793 million, which was equal to 75% of total inflows. This was a strong demand when there was market uncertainty around the world.
Digital asset investment products recorded US$1.06bn of inflows the third consecutive week. Bitcoin accounted for 75% of total inflows, amounting to US$793m. EEthereum attracted US$315m, partly driven by new US staking ETF listings. XRP has suffered outflows totalling US$76m.

The report said global tensions were also impacting investment decisions. Since the beginning of the Iran crisis, there has been an interest in digital assets. Total assets under management in crypto exchange-traded products hit a 9.4% increase. The gross value of these products was approximately $140 billion.

Short-Bitcoin products also experienced small inflows of some $8.1 million. These types of products enable traders to profit from a drop in the price of Bitcoin. The inflow into both long and short products reflect mixed market opinions.
Most of the inflows were from America. About 96% of total investment came in funds based in the US. Canada recorded inflows of $19.4M and Switzerland about $10.4M. Inflows to Hong Kong were also $23.1 million, the highest since August 2025. Germany was the only major region that showed outflows, losing about $17.1 million.
Ethereum gains support after new ETF and staking products
Ethereum also had strong inflows in the week. Funds linked to Ethereum earned roughly $315 million. New staking ETF listings in the United States helped boost demand, said the report.
Because of these inflows, the year’s Ethereum fund flows are now very close to neutral. Earlier in the year, there were heavy outflows from the asset. However, recent buying has offset those losses. This demonstrates how there is a slow return of investor interest in Ethereum after a weak period.
New financial products tend to appeal to new capital, market participants said. When ETFs are launched, it is easier for large institutions to invest. This normally results in increased trading volume and better market confidence. For this reason, the new staking ETFs played an important role in the inflows last week.
XRP records outflows despite strong market inflows
XRP was the only industry giant that experienced huge outflows. Money associated with XRP lost roughly $76 million in the week. This was the second week of negative flows for the token.
Analysts think the outflows may be related to profit-taking following previous gains. Some traders also moved funds into Bitcoin and Ethereum instead. When large investors change positions, fund flows can rapidly change.
The report shows that crypto markets have been active, but not equal for all the assets. Bitcoin and Ethereum are still garnering strong institutional interest. At the same time, some tokens are facing selling pressure even during positive weeks. Future fund flow reports will reveal whether XRP will be able to recover or if investors will continue to move towards bigger cryptocurrencies.
