Net capital inflows into global digital asset investment products totaled $47.2 billion in 2025. While Bitcoin’s investment appeal declined, capital inflows into products based on Ethereum, XRP, and Solana increased significantly.
According to CoinShares data, total net inflows into digital assets by the end of 2025 were only $1.5 billion below the record $48.7 billion recorded the previous year.
The majority of investments continued to come from the United States, where total inflows reached $42.5 billion, down 12% compared to 2024. At the same time, several European markets showed a trend reversal. Germany attracted $2.5 billion after an outflow of $43 million a year earlier, while Canada recorded $1.1 billion following an outflow of $603 million in 2024. In Switzerland, inflows increased by 11.5% YoY to $775 million.
At the individual asset level, capital rotation intensified in 2025. Inflows into Bitcoin fell by 35% to $26.9 billion. Amid falling prices, investors also allocated $105 million to short-BTC products. However, this segment remains niche, with assets under management totaling $139 million. At the same time, Ethereum became the main beneficiary of the year, with investment volumes rising by 138% to $12.7 billion. Significant growth was also recorded for XRP and Solana, which increased by 500% and 1,000% to $3.7 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively. Other altcoins, by contrast, lost investor interest — total inflows into this segment declined by 30% to $318 million.
CoinShares analysts also noted that 2026 began fairly confidently in the derivatives market. Despite early-year volatility in the crypto market, total weekly inflows into crypto products amounted to $582 million.
The activity of major financial and corporate institutions in the crypto market in 2025 was directly linked to the perception of digital assets as a full-fledged element of the financial infrastructure.
