- U.S. investors are turning to crypto as a safe-haven asset amid market and tariff turmoil.
- Bitcoin ETFs pulled $3.06 billion in weekly net inflows, the second-largest week on record.
- Ethereum ETFs ended an eight-week streak of outflows totaling over $427 million.
After a couple of months of bearish outflows, crypto investment products are back on track with gigantic inflows totaling $3.4 billion last week, perhaps a sign that faith has been reignited in the rocky crypto economy.
Crypto Investments Soar
According to CoinShares, $3.4 billion poured into crypto investments last week, the largest inflow since mid-December 2024 and the third-largest weekly inflow ever recorded.
CoinShares notes that U.S. trade and tariff policies have weakened the U.S. dollar, and impacted corporate earnings, which has seen investors turn to crypto as a safe haven.
This is perhaps evidenced by U.S. investors dominating flows, pouring some $3.3 billion into crypto.
Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and other BTC products garnered a total of $3.18 billion, making up a vast majority of the week’s inflows.
Ethereum (ETH) products pulled $183 million after eight consecutive weeks of outflows. Notably, U.S. spot ETH ETFs pulled $104.16 million in net inflows.
Sui (SUI) and Ripple (XRP) products pulled $20.7 million and $31.6 million, respectively.
Blockchain equities tallied a modest $17.4 million in inflows, which CoinShares highlights were largely into BTC mining-related ETF products.
Bitcoin ETFs
As per SoSoValue, Bitcoin ETF inflows have shattered expectations despite previously bearish conditions, and raked in $3.06 billion in weekly total net inflows as of April 25, 2025.
It’s their second-highest week of inflows since the week ending Nov. 22, 2024, when they garnered $3.38 billion.
It follows two consecutive months of outflows for BTC funds totaling over $4.3 billion across February and March 2025.
Remarkably, BTC ETFs have almost completely reversed these figures. Whether they can maintain this level of momentum remains to be seen.
