Digital asset investment products attracted a record $5.95 billion in inflows last week.
The inflow signaled a resurgence of investor confidence across the cryptocurrency market. Notably, the surge marks the largest weekly total ever recorded, according to data from CoinShares.
In its latest weekly report, CoinShares attributes the historic inflows to a combination of macroeconomic and policy factors. Specifically, the firm believes the rally was partly a delayed reaction to the U.S. Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC) recent interest rate cut.
Lower interest rates typically make traditional savings less attractive, driving investors toward risk assets such as cryptocurrency.
Meanwhile, a disappointing ADP payroll report published last Wednesday pointed to weakening job growth in the U.S. economy. Consequently, that data reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve might continue its easing path.
Furthermore, concerns over instability in the U.S. government, following talks of a shutdown, also played a role. Taken together, these factors collectively pushed investors to seek alternative stores of value, and cryptocurrencies benefited the most.
Assets Under Management Hit a Record $254 Billion
As a direct result of these developments, the inflows elevated total assets under management (AuM) for digital assets to an all-time high of $254 billion.
CoinShares noted that the strong price action over the weekend reflected renewed optimism in the market. The momentum was evident across major cryptocurrencies, all of which recorded substantial inflows and price appreciation.
Bitcoin Dominates with Record-Breaking Inflows
Unsurprisingly, Bitcoin (BTC) was the primary beneficiary of the surge. The world’s largest cryptocurrency saw $3.55 billion in inflows last week, its biggest weekly inflow on record.
The inflows coincided with Bitcoin hitting a new all-time high of $125,559 on October 5, 2025.
Interestingly, investors showed little appetite for short investment products, even as prices neared record levels. That pattern indicates a strong bullish outlook, suggesting that market participants expect the uptrend to continue.
U.S. Leads Global Inflows, Europe Follows
Geographically, the surge was broad but was most pronounced in the United States, which recorded $5 billion in inflows, its highest weekly total ever. Meanwhile, Switzerland also broke its own record with $563 million, while Germany posted $312 million, its second-largest inflow to date.
Altogether, this global spread highlights the mainstream adoption of digital assets across developed markets. While the U.S. remains the center of institutional demand, European financial hubs are also quickly catching up as regulatory clarity improves.
Ethereum, Solana, and XRP Extend the Rally
In addition to Bitcoin’s strength, Ethereum (ETH) continues to attract significant interest, recording $1.48 billion in inflows this past week. Its year-to-date inflows have now reached $13.7 billion, nearly three times higher than the total from last year. ETH is currently trading around $4,563, reflecting a 10.5% rise over the week.
Similarly, Solana (SOL) also recorded a new milestone, attracting $706.5 million in inflows. Moreover, its YTD inflows reached $2.58 billion, as the network continued to gain traction among developers and investors alike. SOL price rose 11.6% to $233.64.
Finally, XRP followed with $219.4 million in inflows, reflecting sustained interest from institutions seeking alternative blockchain assets. It traded at $2.98, up 3.38% over the week.
In contrast, other altcoins saw minimal inflows, showing that investor preference remains concentrated in established, high-liquidity assets.
