Digital asset investment products attracted $2.17 billion last week, marking the largest weekly inflow since October 2025, even as risk sentiment weakened into Friday. The strong start reflected renewed institutional appetite for crypto exposure through regulated vehicles.
According to Coinshares research, late-week selling pressure emerged after geopolitical and trade headlines triggered a reversal, including reports of escalating diplomatic tensions over Greenland and fresh tariff threats that pushed $378 million out of the market in a single day. Despite the late shift in tone, inflows still came in broadly across regions. The United States led with $2.05 billion, while Europe and North America also stayed positive. Germany recorded $63.9 million, followed by Switzerland at $41.6 million, Canada at $12.3 million, and the Netherlands at $6 million. Consequently, the data suggested crypto funds still attracted demand despite macro uncertainty and policy chatter.
Bitcoin Dominates Fund Demand as Altcoins Stay Active
Bitcoin captured the largest share of new allocations, bringing in $1.55 billion for the week. The flow strength reinforced Bitcoin’s position as the preferred hedge when investors want liquidity and size. Additionally, several altcoins posted healthy inflows, suggesting risk appetite did not disappear completely.
Ethereum added $496 million, while Solana drew $45.5 million, even as US policy debates around stablecoin yield stayed in focus. Meanwhile, XRP stood out among altcoins with $69.5 million in inflows. Sui brought in $5.7 million, Lido gained $3.7 million, and Hedera recorded $2.6 million, highlighting continued diversification beyond BTC.
Solana Drops Below Key Levels as Whale Activity Surfaces
Solana’s price fell to about $133.6, down roughly 6% in 24 hours, despite broader positive fund flows reported in the market. Lookonchain noted that whale address Ci8jH5 redeposited 20,466 SOL back to Kraken after previously staking it. The wallet earned 466 SOL in rewards, but price losses still left a major drawdown. Moreover, the deposit suggested the holder may prepare to exit or rotate.
Daan Crypto Trades noted that SOL still struggles at resistance near $145. The analyst said repeated closes above $145 could unlock a move toward $155, then $170. However, failure to break higher could send SOL back toward $130.
Long Consolidation Fuels Bigger Bull-Case Targets
Despite current weakness, curb.sol argued traders may underestimate the next move. The analyst highlighted Solana’s extended consolidation between $100 and $250 over 600 days. Moreover, the view framed the recent chop as accumulation, with long-term upside targets reaching as high as $2,000 if a major breakout arrives.
