This was the highest weekly total since October 10, 2025, shortly before a major market crash. Most of the inflows came earlier in the week, which indicated strong investor interest. However, sentiment flipped on Friday after outflows of a whopping $378 million hit the market.<\/p>\n<p>The reversal followed rising diplomatic tensions over Greenland, renewed threats of additional trade tariffs, and reports that Kevin Hassett, a policy dove, is likely to stay in his current role instead of becoming the next US Fed Chair.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"crypto-investors-piled-in-early\">Crypto Investors Piled In Early<\/h2>\n<p>According to CoinShares&#8217; Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report, Bitcoin <a href=\"https:\/\/researchblog.coinshares.com\/volume-269-digital-asset-fund-flows-weekly-report-0f7e2bed2ff4\">led<\/a> the market with inflows of $1.55 billion over the past week. Despite regulatory uncertainty, other major tokens also attracted capital. Proposals under the US Senate Banking Committee&#8217;s CLARITY Act, which could limit yield offerings on stablecoins, did little to stop incoming capital into Ethereum and XRP, which recorded $496 million and $69.5 million, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Several altcoins also posted gains, led by XRP products with $45.5 million. Sui added $5.7 million, followed by Lido at $3.7 million and Hedera at $2.6 million. Litecoin and Chainlink also registered smaller but positive inflows of $2.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Multi-asset products, on the other hand, shed $12.5 million.<\/p>\n<p>Investor interest remained mostly strong across the world. The US took the lead after drawing $2.05 billion in fresh investment. Germany and Switzerland recorded solid gains of $63.9 million and $41.6 million, while Canada and the Netherlands saw $12.3 million and $6 million. Meanwhile, France recorded $1.3 million, Australia saw $0.3 million, Italy added $0.2 million, and New Zealand registered $0.1 million. Sweden, in contrast, shed over $4 million, while Brazil also saw $1 million exit.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"broader-market-caution\">Broader Market Caution<\/h2>\n<p>Market experts believe that the flow reversal is now translating into broader risk-off behavior across digital assets. For instance, Mercury&#8217;s Co-Founder and CEO Petr Kozyakov said that the correction suggests that &#8220;optimism was on thin ice.&#8221; Following the episode, investors <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-nears-breakdown-or-bounce-whats-next-for-btc-price\/\">appear<\/a> to be moving toward traditional safe havens.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The biggest cryptocurrency stands at $93,000, with the dive in Asian trading evaporating most of this year&#8217;s gains. While sentiment had flipped positive at the start of the year, the pullback in digital assets suggests that optimism was on thin ice, underscored by multi-million-dollar liquidations across derivatives markets. Cryptocurrency markets are once again spiralling into risk-off mode as global stock markets also record losses. Meanwhile, gold and silver continue to shine brightly as investors seek out safer pastures.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/2-17b-floods-into-crypto-as-bitcoin-dominates-but-geopolitics-trigger-a-sudden-reversal\/\">$2.17B Floods Into Crypto as Bitcoin Dominates, But Geopolitics Trigger a Sudden Reversal<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/2-17b-floods-into-crypto-as-bitcoin-dominates-but-geopolitics-trigger-a-sudden-reversal\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Digital asset investment products saw strong inflows of $2.17 billion last week.
