Crypto funds defy geopolitical tensions with $1.24b inflows in 10-week streak

A strong trend of inflows into crypto investment products is showing that investor confidence remains high despite recent price drops and global tensions.

According to CoinShares’ Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly report published on June 13, 2025, these products saw a total of US$1.24 billion in inflows last week.

The positive run marks the 10th consecutive week of gains for the funds, bringing year-to-date (YTD) inflows to a new record of $15.1 billion. Bitcoin (BTC) led the influx with $1.1 billion, followed by Ethereum with $123.8 million. The strong numbers come despite recent price declines for both assets, triggered by escalating tensions in the Middle East.

Bitcoin, trading slightly over $101,400 at press time, recently slid to a new month-low of $98,000, similar to Ethereum’s drop below $2,200 amid a broader market downturn. 

The continued inflows suggest investors are viewing the recent correction as a buying opportunity, reinforcing bullish sentiment despite the ongoing volatility. Supporting this sentiment, short-Bitcoin products saw $1.4 million in outflows, indicating that bearish bets on Bitcoin are fading.

Other altcoins also showed strength. Solana (SOL) and XRP (XRP) recorded inflows of $2.78 million and $2.69 million, respectively. Both assets had posted losses exceeding 10% over the past week, and the capital influx highlights a broader trend of strong investor appetite even as the global markets remain jittery due to macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical unrest.

Spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) also contributed to the inflows. BlackRock’s iShares ETFs dominated the inflows by a wide margin, pulling $1.28 billion. ProShares and Bitwise trailed behind, recording $71 million and $33 million, while other providers posted modest inflows or slight outflows.  

Regionally, the United States led with $1.25 billion in inflows, followed by Canada and Germany with $20.9 million and $10.9 million, respectively. However, these gains were partially offset by outflows from Hong Kong and Switzerland, which saw $32.6 million and $7.7 million pulled from crypto funds.
