Institutional Investors Pour $582,000,000 Into Bitcoin and Crypto, Buying BTC, Ethereum and XRP to Start Year: CoinShares

Institutional Investors Showing Interest in Ethereum (ETH), XRP, and Solana (SOL) Investment Products

As the new year kicks off, institutional investors are increasingly turning their attention towards Ethereum (ETH), XRP, and Solana (SOL) investment products.

Recent data from CoinShares reveals that digital asset investment products experienced a net inflow of $582 million over the past week, despite initial outflows during the same period.

“The year started on a positive note with inflows of US $671 million last Friday, contributing to a total of US $582 million in inflows for the entire week following earlier outflows.”

During the previous week, institutional investors allocated $512 million to Bitcoin (BTC), $119 million to Ethereum, and $10.7 million to XRP. However, Solana saw outflows of $30 million during the same period.

The strong start to the year follows a successful end to 2025, with global digital asset products receiving total inflows of $47.2 billion, coming close to the record set in 2024 at $48.7 billion.

The majority of last year’s inflows originated from the US, amounting to $44.5 billion, although this figure represented a 12% decrease from 2024. Germany witnessed a significant turnaround, recording $2.5 billion in inflows compared to outflows in the previous year. Canada added $1.1 billion to the inflow total, while Switzerland saw $775 million in inflows.

Bitcoin product inflows reached $26.9 billion in 2025, with short-bitcoin products attracting $105 million, albeit remaining a small segment of the market.

Ethereum led the pack in terms of asset-specific gains, garnering $12.7 billion in inflows, marking a 138% increase year over year. XRP and Solana followed suit with inflows of $3.7 billion and $3.6 billion, representing impressive gains of 500% and 1,000%, respectively.

While some altcoins experienced a decline in sentiment, with inflows dropping by 30% year over year, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana continued to attract significant investor interest.
