BIG MONEY FLOODS BACK INTO CRYPTO
CoinShares just saw $716 million flow into crypto products. This marks the second straight week of major positive gains. Total assets now sit at $180 billion under management. That is 7.9% higher than the market low point in November. This growth shows investors are highly active again. Most of the new money came from the US, Germany, and Canada.
This strong inflow suggests the market is slowly healing. The $180 billion figure is still far from the all-time high of $264 billion. Current trends point to a steady market recovery. A close look at the data shows American investors took the lead. They sent in $483 million, proving their enthusiasm had not really faded. Germany and Canada also played major parts in the surge.
Bitcoin remains the market leader. It pulled in $352 million in new flows this week. This brings its year-to-date total to $27.1 billion. However, the real signal lies in short positions. Bets against Bitcoin dropped hard. We saw $18.7 million in sales of short products. That is the sharpest decline since March 2025.
Historically, this means people stop fearing a prolonged market crash. Investors are resetting their goals higher. This positive trend holds despite a few late-week sales. Those sales likely came from worry over US inflation data. The upward curve remains strong thanks to fresh institutional focus.
XRP and Chainlink delivered major surprises.
XRP saw $245 million in new listings in just one week. Its yearly total has shot up to $3.1 billion. This number easily beats its 2024 projections. This amazing growth is tied to clearer laws around the asset. That legal certainty is crucial for big investors who hate risk. XRP has earned a key spot in large investment portfolios.
Chainlink also had a remarkable week for structural reasons. It brought in $52.8 million in new inflows. This single week accounted for 54% of its total managed assets. That is an all-time high for Chainlink funds. This interest goes beyond simple guessing games. Chainlink’s system links real-world assets to the blockchain. This work is a core part of asset tokenization. Institutional demand here is a long-term goal, not just a quick trade.
