Crypto Investments at CoinShares Climb by $716M in One Week

CoinShares reports $716 million in weekly inflows into its crypto ETPs, marking the second consecutive week of positive flows. This growth brings assets under management to $180 billion, up 7.9% from their November low. Data show increased investor participation, with significant contributions from the United States, Germany, and Canada.

Crypto: A Global Rebound Driven by the United States

CoinShares’ assets under management have risen 7.9% from their November low, now nearing $180 billion. Though still far from the all-time high of $264 billion, the trajectory suggests a crypto market that is gradually recovering.

Looking more closely, the geographical breakdown hits the mark. Indeed, American investors are clearly taking the lead with $483 million in inflows, even as their enthusiasm for cryptos seemed to be cooling. Germany and Canada are not far behind either.

Bitcoin still takes the spotlight with $352 million in inflows, bringing the annual total to $27.1 billion. The real technical signal, however, lies elsewhere. Bitcoin short products have recorded $18.7 million in outflows, their largest retreat since March 2025.

Historically, this type of movement often corresponds to a psychological shift, a collective “enough” towards prevailing pessimism. In other words, the crypto market stops believing in a prolonged drop and adjusts its radar upwards.

This trend occurs despite some outflows late in the week, probably due to hesitations caused by U.S. inflation data. Nothing alarming though. The curve remains upward, supported by renewed curiosity and a more disciplined approach from institutions.

XRP and Chainlink, the Two Institutional Revelations

Data indicate that XRP, for its part, shows spectacular momentum. It recorded $245 million in inflows in one week. Its annual total skyrockets to $3.1 billion compared to just $608 million in 2024. This nearly baffling growth is explained by improved legal clarity, a decisive factor for investors fleeing uncertainty.

XRP thus secures a special place in institutional portfolios, far beyond just a passing trend. Chainlink, on the other hand, delivers an equally remarkable performance, but for structural reasons. With $52.8 million in inflows, representing 54% of its AUM, the week marks an all-time record.

The enthusiasm extends far beyond speculation. Chainlink’s oracle infrastructure establishes itself as one of the pillars of real-world asset tokenization. Institutional demand is not a short-term bet; it fits into a sustainable technological strategy.
