Institutional investors have significantly increased their exposure to digital assets, with nearly $2 billion flowing into crypto funds last week.
According to CoinShares, this surge coincided with recent executive orders from Donald Trump, which proposed establishing Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset.
The U.S. accounted for the majority of the inflows, contributing $1.7 billion, while Canada, Switzerland, and Germany added smaller amounts.
Bitcoin dominated investor interest, attracting $1.6 billion and bringing its year-to-date total to $4.4 billion—92% of all crypto fund inflows. Ethereum followed, securing $205 million in new investments last week.
Despite stable crypto prices, trading volumes soared to $25 billion, reflecting growing institutional demand. Spot-Bitcoin ETFs also gained traction, with $5.1 million in inflows, while most other cryptocurrencies saw positive performance, except for minor outflows from Cardano.
The rapid rise in institutional involvement highlights the increasing role of digital assets in the global financial landscape.
