Digital asset investment products booked $857.9 million in net inflows last week, pushing total assets under management to $160 billion, according to CoinShares.
Bitcoin led with $706.1 million, with Ethereum ($77.1M), Solana ($47.6M), and XRP ($39.6M) all recording positive flows. Short-Bitcoin products saw $14.4 million in outflows — the largest of the year.
Why it matters
The reading lands the same week US lawmakers advanced the CLARITY Act, the legislative framework that would formally carve out SEC and CFTC jurisdiction over digital asset markets. CoinShares flagged the legislative tailwind as a sentiment driver behind the inflows — institutional desks read jurisdictional clarity as a green light to commit risk that had been parked on the sidelines while regulators argued over whose turf the asset class sat on.
Market impact
The flow concentration tells the story: Bitcoin captured roughly 82% of the week's inflows, Ethereum took 9%, and Solana plus XRP split the remainder. Short-Bitcoin outflows alongside spot inflows confirm the bid is directional, not arbitrage — leveraged funds are unwinding hedges rather than running paired trades. AuM crossing $160B is a fresh cycle milestone and puts cumulative inflows this year ahead of the comparable stretch of any prior cycle.
