Institutional digital asset investment vehicles have enjoyed over $18 billion in inflows over the last twelve weeks, according to crypto asset management firm CoinShares.

In its latest Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report, CoinShares finds that inflows into institutional crypto investment vehicles in the last twelve weeks have pushed assets under management (AuM) to new all-time highs.

“Digital asset investment products recorded inflows of US$1.04bn last week, marking the 12th consecutive week of inflows, which now total US$18bn. Price gains over the week pushed total assets under management (AuM) to a new all-time high of US$188bn. Trading volumes reached US$16.3bn, in line with the weekly average so far this year.”

Regionally speaking, the US led the charge with $1 billion in inflows. Switzerland and Germany also provided inflows of $33.7 million and $38.5 million. Meanwhile, Canada and Brazil saw outflows of $29.3 million and $9.7 million, respectively.

Bitcoin (BTC), as is the flagship crypto’s custom, enjoyed the biggest inflows, but this time, with a catch.

“Bitcoin investment products saw inflows of US$790m last week, marking a slowdown from the previous three weeks, which averaged US$1.5bn.

The moderation in inflows suggests that investors are becoming more cautious as Bitcoin approaches its all-time high price levels.”

Ethereum (ETH) continued its 11th consecutive week of inflows, adding $226 million in inflows last week alone in a continued outperformance of altcoins.

“On a proportional basis, weekly inflows during this run have averaged 1.6% of AuM, significantly higher than Bitcoin’s 0.8%, highlighting a notable shift in investor sentiment in favor of Ethereum.”

The money-market fund industry is booming as the Federal Reserve holds interest rates steady.

Bloomberg, citing info from Crane Data LLC, reports that the amount of capital invested in the money-market industry has now soared to a record $7.4 trillion, with $320 billion pouring into the funds in 2025 so far.

Money-market funds are financial instruments that allow people to invest in lower-risk and short-term debt securities, including US Treasuries.

Deborah Cunningham, chief investment officer for global liquidity markets at Federated Hermes, tells Bloomberg that the Federal Reserve’s ongoing monetary policy choices suggest the money market industry could continue to grow and easily stretch to $7.5 trillion in assets this year.

“Five-percent-plus rates were nirvana, four-percent-plus is still very good – and if we dip down into the high threes, that’s quite acceptable as well.”

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) announced last week that it planned to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 4.25-4.5%, arguing that it was the most suitable level to achieve both maximum employment and controlled inflation. The Fed has held interest rates steady since December, when it cut the rate by 0.25%.

Michael Bird, senior fund manager at Allspring Global Investments, tells Bloomberg that it’s “not surprising” that asset levels in the money-market sector have grown.

“Even if the Fed picks up its easing campaign this year, rates will still be relatively high…”

Banking giant Goldman Sachs says that US households will continue to pump money into the stock market this year, remaining the main buyer of equities.

In a note seen by Bloomberg, Goldman analysts led by David Kostin say they expect American households to directly purchase $425 billion worth of US equities this year.

In doing so, households would trail only corporations, which the bank predicts will buy $675 billion, as the top sources of stock demand.

Goldman partially bases the forecast on the concept that “there is no alternative” (TINA) to US markets.

“TINA trade remains alive and well in US retirement accounts.”

A separate group of Goldman analysts says that during the “liberation day” stock crash in early April, US households aggressively bought the dip, but have since turned into net sellers. However, that selling pressure has been offset by new institutional demand, according to the bank.

“The resilience of household demand for equities is vital because households represent the largest ownership category of the US equity market… Households directly own 38% of the US equity market and control an even larger share including indirect ownership through funds.”

The analysts added that Americans, on average, allocate 49% of their total financial assets to equities, which is the highest level on record and just above the previous high of 48% set in 2020. In comparison, people in the euro area only allocate 10% of their total assets to stocks, and just 13% in Japan.

A group of billionaires are brushing past market fears and investing heavily in their companies in an attempt to leverage the volatility.

The Persson and Lundin families, along with Carlos Slim, just collectively invested $96.3 million in their respective companies, reports Bloomberg.

The Persson family invested approximately $78 million to boost their stake in H&M, where their firm is a major shareholder.

The Lundin dynasty spent about $16 million on April 3rd to increase their stake in Lundin Mining.

Meanwhile, Slim purchased $2.3 million in PBF Energy shares on the same day, as energy prices slumped.

The buying spree followed a market tumble triggered by Trump’s April 2nd tariff announcements, with PBF Energy dropping over 26% by April 8th.

The crash reportedly hit billionaires with a historic $536 billion loss of wealth in the two days following the tariff announcements – the largest two-day decline recorded by the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

Crypto asset manager and research firm CoinShares says institutional investors poured millions of dollars into altcoin digital asset investment products last week.

In its latest Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report, CoinShares says crypto products enjoyed inflows last week after record-setting levels of outflows.

“Digital asset investment products saw US$226m of inflows last week suggesting a positive but cautious investor. Following the largest outflows on record, ETPs have seen 9 consecutive trading days of inflows.

Last Friday was the exception, seeing minor outflows totaling US$74m, likely in reaction to core personal consumption expenditure in the US coming in above expectations, implying the US Federal Reserve is likely to remain hawkish despite recent data alluding to weak growth.”

Bitcoin (BTC) products, as usual, led the charge with $195 million in inflows. The king crypto was followed by altcoins, which broke a month-long streak of outflows. Leading inflows were Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), XRP and Sui (SUI).

“Altcoins in aggregate saw their first week of inflows totaling US$33m, following 4 consecutive weeks of outflows totaling US$1.7bn. The key beneficiaries being Ethereum, Solana, XRP and Sui, with inflows of US$14.5m, US$7.8m, US$4.8m and US$4.0m respectively.”

Regionally, the US led the world with $204 million in inflows. Switzerland and Germany also pitched in $14.7 and $9.2 million in inflows, respectively.
