Digital asset investment products saw a resurgence last week, drawing US$1.9 billion in net inflows as investors reacted to tighter monetary policy signals and improved sentiment in cryptocurrency markets.
Key Highlights
- Bitcoin led all digital assets, receiving US$977 million in inflows last week.
- Ethereum followed with US$772 million in new capital.
- Other notable inflows were into Solana (US$127.3 million) and XRP (US$69.4 million).
Market Size & Trends
- The total Assets under Management (AuM) in digital asset investment products reached US$40.4 billion, a year-to-date high.
- With this pace, the market appears on track to match or slightly exceed the total inflows seen in 2024, which stood at US$48.6 billion.
- The inflows follow a “hawkish cut” by the U.S. Federal Reserve, which, despite its cautious tone, appears to have encouraging implications for digital assets.
Geographic Flow & Sentiment
- The majority of last week’s investment came from the United States, contributing US$1.8 billion of the total.
- Other regions also saw positive inflows: Germany (US$51.6 million), Switzerland (US$47.3 million), and Brazil(US$9.3 million) each recorded net positives.
- A notable exception was Hong Kong, which witnessed slight outflows of around US$3.1 million.
Implications & Outlook
The data signals rising investor confidence in digital assets, notably in flagship cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. The timing of the inflows—in the wake of a cautious rate cut by the Fed—suggests investors believe accommodative monetary policy, even when described as “hawkish,” still provides a tailwind for risk assets, especially in the crypto sector.
If the momentum holds, digital asset investment products may surpass the previous year’s inflows, reinforcing the maturation of crypto markets and increasing acceptance among institutional and retail investors alike.
