Trading Frenzy Shows Rise in Interest The surge in inflows has not only impacted total assets under management but also global trading volumes. Global trading volumes for exchange-traded products (ETPs) also show there is a rise in interest, with $21 billion traded last week.

When it comes to regional demand, the U.S. dominated inflows, contributing $2 billion of the total. Switzerland and Canada followed with inflows of $89 million and $13 million, respectively, showing global demand for digital assets, reports CoinShares. Bitcoin remained the primary beneficiary, attracting $1.9 billion in inflows last week, bringing its YTD total to $2.7 billion. Interestingly, despite Bitcoin’s recent price surge , short Bitcoin positions saw minor outflows of $0.5 million. Historically, short positions have experienced inflows during periods of strong positive price momentum, making this trend an unusual development. Trump Frenzy Boosts Ethereum Inflows to $246M Ethereum, the second-largest digital asset by market capitalization, recorded inflows of $246 million last week, reversing earlier outflows seen this year. However, the products continue to trail other assets in terms of overall performance, maintaining its position as the weakest performer from a flow perspective in 2025. Despite this, Ethereum’s weekly inflows dwarfed those of Solana, which only saw $2.5 million last week. According to the report, XRP also demonstrated impressive traction, recording $31 million in inflows last week. Since mid-November 2024, XRP has attracted a substantial $484 million in inflows, showcasing growing investor confidence in the asset. Stellar posted minor inflows of $2.1 million, while other altcoins saw limited activity during the week. The CoinShares report stresses the profound impact of market sentiment on digital asset flows. Trump’s inauguration has ignited a frenzy of optimism, driving investors towards digital assets as confidence in the sector soars. The Trump-driven market enthusiasm has led to a surge in trading volumes and inflows, indicating that the industry is well-positioned for further growth in 2025.
