June 23, 2025 – Despite escalating geopolitical uncertainties, digital asset investment products have recorded a remarkable 10th consecutive week of inflows, totaling $1.24 billion, according to a recent report by CoinShares, a leading European digital asset investment firm.
This surge has pushed year-to-date (YTD) inflows to a record-breaking $15.1 billion, underscoring the growing resilience and maturity of the cryptocurrency market.
Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) led the charge, attracting $1.1 billion and $124 million in inflows, respectively, as investors continue to view these assets as viable hedges in turbulent times.
CoinShares’ Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report highlights Bitcoin’s dominance, with $1.1 billion in inflows marking its second consecutive week of strong performance.
This follows a recent price correction, suggesting institutional and retail investors are capitalizing on perceived buying opportunities.
“Bitcoin saw a second consecutive week of inflows… indicating that investors were buying on weakness,” noted James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares.
Short-Bitcoin products, by contrast, saw minor outflows of $1.4 million, reinforcing a predominantly bullish sentiment.
Ethereum, the leading smart contract platform, extended its inflow streak to nine weeks, amassing $124 million last week and bringing its YTD total to $2.2 billion—the longest positive run since 2021.
This sustained interest reflects Ethereum’s critical role in decentralized finance (DeFi) and its appeal to risk-tolerant portfolios, as noted by market analytics firm Alva.
Other altcoins, such as Solana and XRP, also saw modest inflows of $2.78 million and $2.69 million, respectively, indicating a broader appetite for layer-1 assets with strong fundamentals.
Regional Dynamics: U.S. Leads, Mixed Results Elsewhere
The United States emerged as the primary driver of inflows, contributing $1.25 billion, signaling robust domestic demand.
Canada and Germany added $20.9 million and $10.9 million, respectively, while Hong Kong and Switzerland recorded outflows of $32.6 million and $7.7 million, reflecting regional caution or profit-taking.
“The US overwhelmingly led regional inflows,” CoinShares reported, highlighting sustained institutional confidence in long-term crypto growth despite global volatility.
The report attributes a slowdown in inflows during the latter half of the week to the U.S. Juneteenth holiday and emerging reports of U.S. involvement in the Iran conflict.
However, the overall trend remains bullish, with digital assets increasingly viewed as a fixture in modern investment portfolios.
The crypto market’s resilience comes against a backdrop of heightened geopolitical tensions, including Middle East conflicts involving Israel and Iran, which have sparked risk-off sentiment in traditional markets.
A recent post on X noted Bitcoin and Ethereum price dips of 3.06% and 5.75%, respectively, amid $6.5 trillion in options expiries and $450 million in liquidations.
Yet, the persistent inflows suggest investors are pivoting to cryptocurrencies as alternative hedges, with Bitcoin often likened to “digital gold.”
Bitcoin’s price, currently hovering around $99,000 after a peak near $110,000, reflects a range-bound consolidation phase, according to analysts at B2BinPay.
Ethereum, trading at approximately $2,416.91, continues to benefit from positive sentiment surrounding its technological advancements, such as the recent Pectra upgrade.
These factors, combined with institutional adoption, have bolstered investor confidence.
Why Crypto Inflows Persist
Analysts point to several factors driving the sustained inflows.
First, cryptocurrencies are increasingly decoupled from traditional risk-off behavior, as evidenced by their performance alongside gold during geopolitical unrest.
Second, the entrance of U.S. spot-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in 2024 has significantly boosted institutional participation, with 2024 inflows reaching $44.2 billion—nearly four times the previous record set in 2021.
Finally, the perception of Bitcoin and Ethereum as long-term stores of value and foundational assets, respectively, continues to attract capital.
“Digital assets are no longer on the fringe; they’re becoming a fixture in capital strategy,” CoinShares concluded, noting that 2025 is on track to surpass previous records for crypto inflows if market momentum persists.
With $15.1 billion in YTD inflows, the cryptocurrency market is poised for continued growth, provided macroeconomic conditions remain stable.
Investors are closely monitoring geopolitical developments and Federal Reserve policies, particularly after the Fed’s recent decision to hold rates steady amid inflation and tariff concerns.
As CoinShares’ Butterfill remarked, “Investors are still buying the dip, despite macro tensions,” a sentiment echoed in recent X posts highlighting Bitcoin and Ethereum’s persistent inflows.
As the digital asset market matures, Bitcoin and Ethereum’s ability to attract capital amid global uncertainty underscores their evolving role in the future of finance.
