Global Crypto Investment Inflows Surge Past $10B as Institutional Demand Rises

In a report published on Monday, May 26, CoinShares revealed that crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) attracted $3.3 billion in fresh capital during the week ending May 24. This marked one of the strongest weekly inflows on record, bringing the total year-to-date inflows to $10.8 billion. The surge also drove assets under management to briefly touch an all-time high of $187.5 billion, reflecting rising institutional demand for crypto exposure.

Growing macroeconomic concerns drive this renewed interest in digital assets. James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, pointed to Moody’s recent downgrade of the U.S. credit rating and a spike in treasury yields as key factors prompting investors to diversify into crypto.

“Investors are increasingly viewing digital assets as a viable hedge amid growing macroeconomic risks,”

he noted.

The latest spike in inflows builds on positive momentum from the previous week , which saw $785 million enter digital asset investment products. That marked the fifth consecutive week of gains and a full recovery from the $7 billion outflows experienced during the February–March market correction. At that point, year-to-date inflows had reached $7.5 billion, surpassing the previous high of $7.2 billion set earlier in the year.

Regionally, the inflows were led by the United States, which had $681 million; Germany, which had $86.3 million; and Hong Kong, which had $24.2 million. In contrast, Sweden, Canada, and Brazil experienced modest outflows, highlighting mixed investor sentiment across global markets.

Looking back, CoinShares had already reported strong interest earlier in the year. On January 27, the firm noted that nearly $2 billion had flowed into crypto investment products in a week, bringing year-to-date inflows to $4.8 billion.
