Digital Asset Inflows Reach $2.2 Billion, Fueled by Trump Inauguration Enthusiasm
Digital asset inflows have surged to over $2 billion last week, driven by the Trump inauguration euphoria, according to data from European alternative asset manager CoinShares. This marks the largest weekly inflows so far in 2025. As a result, total assets under management have reached an all-time high of more than $170 billion.
Record-Breaking Inflows and Trading Volumes
CoinShares’ head of research, James Butterfill, attributed the surge in inflows to the Trump inauguration enthusiasm. The latest development has also led to high trading volumes on exchange-traded products, reaching $21 billion last week, which accounts for 34% of bitcoin trading volumes on trusted exchanges.
Top Performing Cryptocurrencies
Bitcoin led the inflows, bringing in $1.9 billion. Year-to-date inflows for BTC now stand at $2.7 billion. Notably, despite the recent price rises, there have been minor outflows from short-positions. Other top performers include:
- Ethereum with inflows of $246 million, reversing earlier outflows this year.
- XRP with $31 million in inflows last week, pushing its total since mid-November to $484 million.
- Stellar with smaller inflows of $2.1 million.
- Solana with modest inflows of $2.5 million.
Regional Breakdown of Inflows
The U.S. dominated inflows regionally, pulling in $2 billion. Other contributors include:
- Switzerland with $89 million.
- Canada with $13 million.
CoinShares notes that Ethereum remains the poorest performer from a flow perspective so far this year, despite last weekβs gains.
