Digital asset investment products booked $1.2 billion in inflows last week, the fourth consecutive week of net gains, pushing total assets under management to $155 billion, according to CoinShares.
Why it matters
The cadence is the signal. Four straight weeks of net positive flows without a major reversal is the kind of streak that tends to mark structural rather than reactive positioning. Total AuM sitting at $155B is a level the category last tested before the late-cycle drawdown, so allocators are not just nibbling — they are letting winners run.
Market impact
Bitcoin led the week with $933 million in inflows. Ethereum pulled $192 million, the third straight week above the $190 million mark — notable because ETH has historically lagged BTC during sustained risk-on stretches, and the persistence above that line suggests ETH-specific conviction, not just beta. U.S.-domiciled funds dominated the flow, and blockchain equity ETFs added $617 million over the past three weeks, pointing to demand broadening into the listed-equity wrapper for the same thesis.
