European crypto investment firm CoinShares has released a digital assets flows report for last week. The publication showed net inflows reached $785 million, marking a fifth consecutive profitable week. The inflows raised digital assets’ year-to-date gains to about $7.5 billion, exceeding the previous $7.2 billion peak value in early February.
Last week’s inflows also erased about $7 billion in outflows recorded during the February to March market correction. This existing trend suggests faith in digital assets’ reward potential. Analysts have attributed the persistent inflows to growing crypto adoption, especially as several regions of the world now embrace digital assets.
CoinShares reports $785M in digital asset inflows last week, the fifth straight week, bringing 2024 YTD inflows to $7.5B. Bitcoin led with $557M, while Ethereum saw $205M, boosted by the Pectra upgrade and the appointment of new co-executive director Tomasz Stańczak.…

Bitcoin Records Over $500 Million in Net Inflows
As usual, Bitcoin (BTC) had the highest net weekly inflows. CounShares noted, “Bitcoin attracted US$557m in inflows, a decrease from the prior week, likely due to continued hawkish signals from the US Federal Reserve.” The crypto investment firm added that Short-Bitcoin products recorded their fourth straight weekly gains, summing up to $5.8 million. These consistent profits suggest strategic investors’ positioning amid the crypto market’s recent price spikes.
CoinShares also highlighted Ethereum’s impressive performance in the just-concluded week. The crypto investment company stated: “Ethereum was the standout performer, with $205 million in inflows last week and $575 million YTD, indicating renewed investor optimism.”
CoinShares attributed the renewed investors’ interest in Ethereum to the recent suscessful pectra upgrade. It also noted that Tomasz Stańczak’s appointment as the new co-executive director contributed to Ethereum’s stellar performance. In contrast, Solana (SOL) was the only ETP with net outflows last week. CoinShares reported that SOL forfeited roughly $0.89 million.
How Different Countries Contributed to the Digital Asset Inflows
Three countries contributed significantly to last week’s profits. They include the United States, Germany, and Hong Kong. CoinShares noted that these countries had net inflows of about $681 million, $86.3 million, and $24.2 million, respectively.
Per CoinShares, the $24.2 million recorded by Hong Kong became the nation’s highest inflow since November last year. On the other hand, three countries saw significant outflows, with Sweden topping the chart after forfeiting $16.3 million. Others include Canada and Brazil. These nations lost $13.5 million and $3.9 million, respectively.
