Introduzione

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.

Plummeting Token Price, Whales Dumping and Exiting: The Aave Governance Battle Exposes DeFi's Governance Dilemma

The article details a major governance crisis within Aave, a leading DeFi lending protocol, sparked in December 2025. The conflict began when Aave Labs, the development team, switched the front-end service provider for its official website and redirected an estimated $10 million in annual fees from user transactions to its own controlled address instead of the community DAO treasury. This move was perceived by the Aave community as a "hidden privatization" of brand assets and a breach of trust. It raised a fundamental question: who ultimately controls a DeFi protocol—the founding team that builds the code and brand, or the token holders governing the DAO? Tensions escalated with the submission of an aggressive "poison pill" governance proposal demanding Aave Labs transfer all intellectual property, trademarks, and equity to the DAO. A more constructive counter-proposal, "Phase 1 - Ownership," sought to reclaim control of critical assets like domains and social media accounts for the DAO. Amid the internal strife, the AAVE token price fell over 25%, and a major whale investor sold their holdings at a significant loss, signaling eroding confidence. Aave Labs further angered the community by unilaterally advancing a snapshot vote during the Christmas holiday, a move criticized for violating procedural norms. Despite the turmoil, Aave's core protocol remained robust with $34 billion in assets. The SEC's decision to close its investigation without action was seen as a tacit endorsement of its decentralized governance model. The crisis is presented as a painful but necessary "rite of passage," potentially leading Aave to evolve into a "hybrid organization." This new model would clearly define the DAO as the sovereign owner of all assets, with Labs operating as a service provider under a formal, on-chain agreement, thereby preventing future revenue disputes.
