US crypto funds have attracted over $7.5 billion in inflows in 2025, reflecting growing investor demand for digital assets and blockchain exposure.
After recovering from a $7 billion sell-off in February and March, US cryptocurrency funds had positive inflows for the fifth week.
With a sixth week of net positive inflows last week, cryptocurrency investment products in the US have drawn over $7.5 billion in investment in 2025, indicating rising investor appetite for digital assets.
According to a May 19 study by digital asset manager CoinShares, US-based crypto investment products brought in $785 million last week, increasing the year-to-date (YTD) total to almost $7.5 billion.
The most recent number represents the fifth week with net positive flows after outflows of about $7 billion in February and March.
With $681 million, the United States was the most significant contributor, followed by Germany ($86.3 million) and Hong Kong ($24.4%).
Following the White House’s May 12 announcement of a 90-day delay on new tariffs, which included a 24% reduction in import taxes for both the US and China, investor demand for risky assets like cryptocurrencies saw a notable resurgence.
The day following the news, 9,739 Bitcoin (BTC) worth $102,736, over $1 billion, was taken out of the Coinbase exchange. The transaction was the largest net outflow in 2025 and indicated that institutional hunger was “accelerating,” according to André Dragosch, head of European research at Bitwise.
Ethereum leads with weekly inflows of $205 million.
Among cryptocurrency investment products, Ethereum (ETH), priced at $2,403, was the best performer, attracting $205 million in investments last week. This achievement raises its total to almost $575 million for the year.
The $200 million was ascribed by the report to a resurgence of investor confidence after the successful upgrade of Pectra and the hiring of Tomasz Stańczak as a new co-executive director.
Ethereum’s Pectra update, which included enhancements such as increased staking limits and account abstraction through EIP-7702, went live on the mainnet on May 7 following initial delays.
On the other hand, the only significant assets to experience net withdrawals were (SOL) $161.18 investment products, with $890,000 taken out over the previous week.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin submitted a proposal to make Ethereum layer-1 scaling “more friendly” for users running local nodes for personal use, ensuring trustless, censorship-resistant access to the network.
According to Stella Zlatareva, editor of Nexo Dispatch, “The plan would drastically reduce the 1.3TB data burden by allowing nodes to sync only relevant information, opening the door to broader participation.”
