Global crypto investment products received $1.65 billion in the first three days of the week. Nearly $1 billion was allocated to Bitcoin, serving as an additional signal of recovering demand from institutional investors, according to a CoinShares review.
Investors directed another $478 million into Ethereum.
Thus, inflows have continued for the second consecutive week—crypto funds received $2.94 billion over the entire previous week. This marked the largest weekly figure since the beginning of the year.
Analysts at the company linked the increased demand to uncertainty surrounding U.S. Federal Reserve policy. Amid mixed economic signals, investors continue to seek alternative assets.
Bitcoin returns above 200-day moving average
The inflows coincided with a recovery in Bitcoin. On August 26, the cryptocurrency closed the day around $78,500, and the day before had briefly risen above $81,000.
Furthermore, Bitcoin returned above the 200-day moving average for the first time in 270 trading days. This indicator is often used to assess the long-term direction of the market.
Inflows into investment products themselves guarantee continued growth, noted CoinShares. The capital movement rather indicates that institutional demand for digital assets is strengthening again after recent weakness.
U.S. accounted for the bulk of demand
The main volume of inflows came from U.S. investors: products in the U.S. received about $1.5 billion out of the $1.65 billion. Germany and Switzerland also showed noticeable inflows.
The total assets under management of crypto investment structures reached approximately $155 billion. For the first time since the beginning of the year, industry-wide flows turned positive again, amounting to about $3.4 billion.
In addition to Bitcoin and Ethereum, investors bought positions in altcoins: products based on XRP received $80.5 million, Solana $62.9 million, and Hyperliquid $39 million.
Recall that ETF inflows and declining U.S. Treasury yields are fueling demand for Bitcoin following the recent rally, XWIN Japan concluded.
