U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds accounted for the majority of that figure, attracting $1.37 billion last week, according to data compiled by The Block, offset slightly by outflows in other countries. Short Bitcoin products also registered minor net inflows of $3.7 million.Ethereum-based funds also maintained their positive momentum, generating another $585 million in net inflows last week to extend their best run since February to $2 billion — around 14% of their total $14.9 billion AUM. This included $528.2 million in net inflows from the U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs alone. However, they ended their record 19-day streak of inflows on Friday as $2.1 million exited the funds.Meanwhile, XRP investment products saw their first net inflows in three weeks, adding $11.8 million, and Sui-based funds also attracted $3.5 million worth of inflows.The U.S. led regionally amid largely positive investor sentiment, Butterfill said, with $1.9 billion in inflows, followed by funds in Switzerland, Germany, and Canada, which added $20.7 million, $39.2 million, and $12.1 million, respectively. However, crypto investment products in Hong Kong and Brazil slumped to net outflows of $56.8 million and $8.5 million for the week.Resilience despite geopolitical riskBitcoin is trading up 1.3% over the past week at $107,186, according to The Block's BTC price page, while Ethereum is up 5.4% during the same period to trade at $2,628. "The market's resilience despite geopolitical risk is encouraging, especially with retail and algorithmic momentum traders stepping back in," BRN Lead Research Analyst Valentin Fournier told The Block. "That said, the lack of rate cut visibility, slower central bank accumulation, and ETH's fading institutional momentum suggest choppiness on the road back to all-time highs."Disclaimer: The Block is an independent media outlet that delivers news, research, and data.
