Institutional crypto investment vehicles saw nearly $225 million in inflows last week, extending a seven-week streak amid US monetary policy uncertainty. This streak now totals $11 billion, although inflows have slowed in recent weeks as investors adopt a wait-and-see approach ahead of signals from the US Federal Reserve on inflation.
The United States led regional inflows with $175 million, followed by Germany with $47.8 million, Switzerland with $15.7 million, Canada with $9.8 million, and Australia with $6.5 million. In contrast, Brazil and Hong Kong experienced minor outflows of $9.2 million and $14.6 million respectively, with Hong Kong’s outflows marking the end of a period of record inflows.
Ethereum maintained a strong performance, continuing a seven-week inflow streak totaling $1.5 billion. Last week alone, ETH attracted $296 million, marking its best run since the US election. Meanwhile, Bitcoin saw its second consecutive week of outflows, losing $56.5 million.
Altcoins remained largely subdued, with minor inflows seen in Sui amounting to $1.1 million, whereas XRP continued to experience outflows for the third week in a row, totaling $6.6 million. These trends highlight a cautious but ongoing institutional interest in the crypto market despite wider economic uncertainty.
