Summary

- Bitcoin and XRP led demand, attracting significant investor interest.
- US and Germany dominate institutional crypto demand regions.
Digital asset investment products have attracted $864 million in inflows over the past week, marking the third consecutive period of positive investor sentiment. Despite a recent interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve, the cryptocurrency market displayed mixed price action, with trading sentiment varying across major digital assets. Bitcoin products captured the largest share of inflows, while short-Bitcoin products saw minor outflows, suggesting a lack of bearish bets.
XRP demonstrated substantial demand, securing approximately $245 million in weekly inflows, positioning it as a top performer. Ethereum also recorded healthy inflows, contributing to a significant year-to-date increase. Geographically, the United States led regional flows, followed by Germany and Canada, which together account for nearly 99% of all year-to-date inflows, underscoring a concentrated institutional interest.
On the provider side, iShares and Fidelity saw substantial weekly inflows, while Grayscale continued to experience outflows, though it maintains a considerable asset share. Blockchain-specific exchange-traded products also noted consistent demand. This sustained influx into digital asset investment products points to a growing institutional appetite for cryptocurrencies.
