Abstract

Digital asset exchange-traded products (ETPs) recorded $864 million in net inflows for the third consecutive week, driven primarily by U.S. demand, according to CoinShares. Bitcoin products led with $522 million in inflows, while Ether saw $338 million. Solana and XRP also attracted significant inflows of $65 million and $46.9 million, respectively. The U.S., Germany, and Canada accounted for the majority of regional inflows, while Switzerland posted outflows. Year-to-date, Bitcoin has attracted $27.7 billion, though still below 2024 levels. Multi-asset crypto ETPs and blockchain equity funds saw mixed flows during the period.

Crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) recorded about $864 million in inflows last week, according to a report on Monday by European digital asset manager CoinShares.

The United States led regional inflows with about $796 million, followed by Germany with roughly $68.6 million and Canada with about $26.8 million. Together, the three countries account for approximately 98.6% of year-to-date (YTD) inflows into digital asset investment products.

Switzerland-listed crypto ETPs recorded about $41.4 million in weekly outflows, while YTD net flows were about $622.4 million, according to the data.

Bitcoin and Ether dominate inflows, followed by Solana and XRP

Bitcoin (BTC) investment products recorded about $522 million in weekly inflows, while short-Bitcoin products posted roughly $1.8 million in net outflows, “signalling a recovery in sentiment,” according to the report.

Ether (ETH) saw approximately $338 million in inflows during the week, lifting YTD to about $13.3 billion, up 148% from 2024.

Beyond Bitcoin and Ether, Solana (SOL) investment products recorded about $65 million in weekly inflows, bringing YTD inflows to roughly $3.46 billion, a tenfold increase from last year.

XRP (XRP) products also attracted fresh capital, with approximately $46.9 million added during the week and about $3.18 billion in inflows accumulated YTD, according to the data.

Smaller-cap products saw more mixed results, with Aave (AAVE)-linked products recording about $5.9 million in weekly inflows and Chainlink (LINK) adding roughly $4.1 million. Hyperliquid (HYPE) products posted net outflows of around $14.1 million during the period.

This is the third consecutive week of inflows for crypto ETPs, following about $716 million in inflows last week and roughly $1 billion the week before.

Bitcoin has attracted around $27.7 billion YTD, still below the $41 billion it recorded in 2024.

Understanding DOGE Through Cyclical Patterns: Is Every Dip a Setup for a Higher Jump?

Examining Dogecoin through cyclical patterns suggests that despite recent subdued price action, key on-chain signals and historical trends indicate the meme coin may be at a critical juncture. DOGE is currently holding above a major support zone around $0.074, a level historically associated with significant buying activity and large transaction volumes. While short-term momentum remains weak, with RSI and MACD indicators still favoring sellers and four-hour charts showing lower highs, the price consolidation reflects a market in wait-and-see mode rather than a confirmed downtrend. The broader structure remains intact. From a macro perspective, Dogecoin's history is characterized by extended periods of accumulation followed by rapid, parabolic advances. This current phase of sideways movement could be building a foundation for a potential powerful upward move later in the cycle, mirroring its past behavior. The immediate outlook hinges on its ability to maintain this key support. A strong, high-volume rebound from this zone would reinforce bullish expectations, while a decisive break below it could trigger a shift in sentiment and a test of lower levels. Dogecoin is currently at a balance point between short-term weakness and its still-valid long-term structure, awaiting a catalyst for its next directional move.

2025 Year-End Final Exam: Crypto Asset Allocation Guide After the FOMC Decision

Crypto markets face a critical juncture in late 2025. Bitcoin hovers near $90,000, with the Fear & Greed Index at 25 (Extreme Fear) and short-term holder capitulation at historic highs. The December FOMC meeting delivered an expected 25bps rate cut but adopted a hawkish tone, projecting only one more cut in 2026, causing a brief BTC sell-off. However, the Fed also initiated a $40B/month Reserve Management Purchases (RMP) plan, a form of "stealth QE" injecting liquidity. Key themes emerge: - **Macro Impact**: Hawkish guidance creates short-term pressure, but ending QT and launching RMP set the stage for a 2026 liquidity surge, historically bullish for crypto. - **Institutional Shift**: 2025 marked a pivot to institutional dominance. While BTC remains core, portfolios are diversifying into ETH, Solana, stablecoins, and tokenized real-world assets (RWA). Pension and sovereign wealth funds are increasing exposure. - **Historical Pattern & On-Chain Data**: A potential "Santa Low-Chinese New Year Rally" pattern is anticipated due to seasonal liquidity shifts. On-chain metrics signal a likely bottom: massive STH capitulation, declining exchange reserves, and valuation indicators (MVRV Z-Score, Puell Multiple) in historic buy zones. The confluence of extreme fear, strong underlying accumulation signals, and impending macro liquidity shifts presents a strategic entry point for long-term investors, framing the current pullback as a mid-cycle correction within a broader upward trend.

ASTER price sinks as whale losses deepen – Is $0.6 next?

ASTER's price faces strong bearish pressure, dropping to $0.76, as a major whale sold 3 million tokens at a significant loss, amplifying negative sentiment. Technical outlook remains weak, with price trading in a descending channel and breaking below key Fibonacci support. Targets are now set at $0.741, $0.646, and $0.588. Open Interest declined by 3.92%, reflecting reduced trader confidence, while the Long/Short Ratio shows 58% shorts dominance. Liquidation data further confirms stronger pain on the long side. Overall, ASTER is expected to decline further toward the $0.6 zone unless buyers reclaim higher resistance levels.

Why Does Hyperliquid Earn Less Than Coinbase?

Hyperliquid, a decentralized exchange, processes near-Nasdaq-level perpetual trading volumes but captures significantly lower fees compared to centralized platforms like Coinbase and Robinhood. While Hyperliquid cleared $205.6 billion in notional volume over 30 days, it generated only $80.3 million in fees—an effective take rate of ~3.9 bps. In contrast, Coinbase and Robinhood achieve take rates of ~35.5 bps and ~33.5 bps, respectively, by operating as retail brokers that monetize multiple layers: distribution, balances, subscriptions, and order flow. This gap stems from a structural difference: Hyperliquid positions itself as a low-fee *market layer* (like Nasdaq), providing high-throughput execution and清算 infrastructure, while brokers like Coinbase control user relationships and extract value through higher-margin activities. Hyperliquid’s model includes permissionless distributor frontends (Builder Codes) and product deployment (HIP-3), which drive ecosystem growth but also create long-term fee compression risks by outsourcing high-value distribution. To defend its economics, Hyperliquid is taking steps to retain distribution control, integrate HIP-3 markets natively, and introduce balance-driven revenue streams like USDH (a native stablecoin with 50% reserve收益 sharing) and portfolio margin (10% interest fee on borrows). These moves aim to shift its model from pure exchange-level execution toward a hybrid approach that captures broker-like profit pools—without sacrificing its core infrastructure advantages. The key challenge remains balancing open ecosystem growth with tighter economic integration to avoid being commoditized as a wholesale execution venue.
