Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs led the surge.
U.S. investors seek crypto as a safe haven amid dollar weakness.
Crypto investments are surging as U.S. investors lose confidence in the dollar and look for safe-haven assets. According to CoinShares, $3.4 billion flowed into crypto investment products last week, marking the largest inflow since mid-December 2024 and the third-largest weekly inflow ever.
U.S. trade tensions and tariff policies have weakened the dollar and affected corporate earnings. In response, many investors have turned to cryptocurrencies to safeguard their wealth. U.S. investors dominated last week’s inflows, pouring an impressive $3.3 billion into the crypto market.
Bitcoin and Ethereum Lead the Way
Bitcoin (BTC) investment products, particularly exchange-traded funds (ETFs), attracted the lion’s share, with $3.18 billion in inflows. SoSoValue reported that Bitcoin ETFs alone pulled in $3.06 billion in net inflows by April 25, 2025.
After enduring over $4.3 billion in outflows during February and March 2025, Bitcoin ETFs have nearly reversed those losses. Whether this strong momentum can continue remains uncertain.
Ethereum (ETH) products also had a strong week, pulling in $183 million after eight consecutive weeks of outflows. U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs contributed $104.16 million to that total.
Altcoins saw some gains too, with Sui (SUI) products bringing in $20.7 million and Ripple (XRP) products attracting $31.6 million. In contrast, blockchain equities saw a small $17.4 million influx, primarily from BTC mining-related ETF products.
This huge investor confidence return indicates a fresh belief in crypto as an effective hedge against economic uncertainty. Whether this trend continues over the next few weeks will be heavily dependent on overall economic circumstances and regulatory developments.
