Crypto inflows reach $2.2B following Trump's inauguration

Weekly crypto inflows surged dramatically to $2.2 billion, marking a record for 2025.

This increase was largely driven by optimism surrounding Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20.

Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) was the primary beneficiary, attracting $1.9 billion of the total inflows, bringing its year-to-date total to $2.7 billion.

The overall year-to-date inflows now stand at $2.8 billion.

According to a report from CoinShares, U.S. investors were the main contributors, accounting for $2 billion of the inflows, while Switzerland and Canada added $89 million and $13 million, respectively.

The report highlighted that despite Bitcoin's price rise, there were minor outflows from short positions amounting to $0.5 million.

This unusual trend indicates growing confidence among investors in the sustainability of the current rally.

“Digital asset investment products recorded inflows of $2.2 billion last week amid the Trump inauguration euphoria, the largest week of inflows so far this year,” noted James Butterfill from CoinShares.

The surge in inflows represents a significant turnaround from the previous week, which saw only $48 million due to macroeconomic uncertainties.

Investors are hopeful that Trump's administration will foster a regulatory environment conducive to cryptocurrency adoption and innovation.

Trump's campaign promises have generated enthusiasm among market participants regarding potential blockchain incentives.

“The greatest Solana win coming from the new Trump Presidency will be our long-awaited ETF in 2025 or 2026," remarked Dan Jablonski from Syndica.

While challenges such as regulatory clarity remain, the optimism surrounding Trump's presidency could act as a catalyst for further growth in the crypto sector.
