A US government shutdown<\/a> and the weak jobs report have pushed digital asset investment products to their strongest weekly inflows on record.<\/p>\n

According to the latest CoinShares report<\/a>, crypto-related investment products attracted $5.95 billion in inflows last week, pushing total assets under management (AUM) to an all-time peak of $245 billion.<\/p>\n

The rally did not emerge from retail excitement or online speculation. Instead, it stemmed from macroeconomic unease following the US government shutdown and disappointing employment data.<\/p>\n

Investors appeared to interpret both as warning signs about the country\u2019s fiscal resilience and the Federal Reserve\u2019s policy direction.<\/p>\n

James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, explained that the inflows reflected a delayed investor reaction to the Federal Open Market Committee\u2019s recent rate cut and current US government events.<\/p>\n

According to him:<\/p>\n

“We believe this was due to a delayed response to the FOMC interest rate cut, compounded by very weak employment data, as indicated by Wednesday\u2019s ADP Payroll release, and concerns over US government stability following the shutdown.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This resulted in a wave of capital seeking refuge in assets perceived as both liquid and resilient.<\/p>\n

The CoinShares report suggested that investors appear to be treating digital assets not as speculative plays but as macro hedge instruments that respond to fiscal turbulence and liquidity shifts.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin sees its strongest week<\/h2>\n

As expected, Bitcoin<\/a> absorbed most of last week's inflows, capturing a record $3.55 billion in fresh capital. This is its strongest week in history.<\/p>\n

Notably, the 12 US-based Bitcoin ETF providers, including BlackRock<\/a>, accounted for roughly $3.2 billion of that total, which is their second-strongest weekly performance<\/a> since launch last year.<\/p>\n

Conversely, short Bitcoin products saw no flows for the week, signaling renewed investor confidence as prices approach new highs. BTC price reached a new all-time high of more than $125,000 during the weekend.<\/a><\/p>\n

This move highlights Bitcoin\u2019s enduring role as the market\u2019s liquidity anchor and a preferred hedge in uncertain times.<\/a><\/p>\n

Ethereum and Solana lead inflows<\/h2>\n

Ethereum<\/a>\u00a0also turned a corner during the period.<\/p>\n

After weeks of redemptions, the asset drew $1.48 billion in new capital, lifting its year-to-date total to $13.7 billion. Notably, this is nearly triple its total inflows for last year.<\/p>\n

At the same time, Solana<\/a>-focused funds hit an all-time high of $706.5 million, pushing their 2025 tally to $2.85 billion, while XRP<\/a> saw $219.4 million amid anticipation of new spot investment products.<\/p>\n

These inflows show that crypto markets are no longer reacting to hype but to macro signals, including liquidity trends, rate policy, and institutional sentiment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
