Ethereum Sees Record Investment Surge Amid Cautious Market Sentiment

Digital asset investment products have experienced a remarkable seven-week streak of inflows, totaling $10.9 billion according to CoinShares data. This surge is largely driven by Ethereum, which saw inflows exceeding $321 million last week, marking its strongest six-week performance since December 2024. The robust growth reflects renewed investor confidence in Ethereum’s long-term prospects. While Bitcoin experienced a reversal with outflows of $8 million, the broader market sentiment remains cautious following a recent court ruling on U.S. tariffs. ๐ŸŒ ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ Despite this uncertainty, investment interest expanded globally, particularly in Germany ($42.9 million), Australia ($21.5 million), and Hong Kong ($54.8 million). While Switzerland saw outflows of $32.8 million, the global crypto market witnessed an overall increase in activity with open interest climbing 2% to $3.98 billion and derivatives trading volume rising 18%. ๐Ÿ“ˆ. Despite this influx of capital, total assets under management (AuM) fell from a record high of $187 billion to $177 billion according to CoinShares. The drop was attributed to recent market volatility triggered by price corrections. ๐Ÿ“‰ However, some crypto assets like XRP saw outflows and blockchain equity exchange-traded products remained relatively flat with investor focus concentrated on primary digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Despite Ethereumโ€™s upward trajectory, recent reports suggest that momentum may be waning as the narrowing gap between call and put options suggests a cooling in sentiment. โฌ‡๏ธ For more insights into the crypto market, check out DeFi Planet’s website and follow us across our social media channels for updates.
