Crypto Funds See $933 Million Influx as ETFs Reach Highest AUM Since February

Institutional investments in crypto are gaining momentum at a faster pace than retail investments, with data indicating a steady growth in bitcoin's value. According to CoinShares, digital asset investment products have attracted $1.2 billion in the last week, marking the fourth consecutive week of inflows. The total assets under management for crypto funds have reached $155 billion, the highest since February 1, albeit still below the peak of $263 billion in October 2025. Bitcoin has seen an influx of $933 million, bringing the year-to-date total to $4 billion, while Ether has attracted $192 million for the third consecutive week. Blockchain equity ETFs are also gaining traction, with inflows totaling $617 million over the past three weeks. This surge in demand for indirect exposure to crypto technology has been described as an explosion by CoinShares analyst James Butterfill. As bitcoin approached $79,399, its highest level since January 31, before dropping to $77,705, the upcoming week will be crucial in determining whether institutional flows can withstand the selling pressure and propel bitcoin beyond $80,000. The earnings reports from major tech companies, including Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Apple, will also play a significant role in shaping the market trend, with strong earnings potentially driving crypto inflows and bitcoin's value higher.
