Investor Confidence Remains High in Crypto Despite Recent Price Drops and Global Tensions
A recent report from CoinShares has revealed a strong trend of inflows into crypto investment products, indicating that investor confidence in the market remains robust despite recent price drops and global tensions. The report, published on June 13, 2025, highlighted that these products received a total of US$1.24 billion in inflows last week, marking the 10th consecutive week of gains and bringing year-to-date inflows to a record $15.1 billion.
Bitcoin led the influx with $1.1 billion, followed by Ethereum with $123.8 million. This surge in investment comes at a time when both assets experienced price declines due to escalating tensions in the Middle East. Bitcoin, currently trading slightly over $101,400, recently hit a month-low of $98,000, while Ethereum dropped below $2,200 amidst a broader market downturn.
Despite these price fluctuations, investors continue to view the recent correction as a buying opportunity, as evidenced by the sustained inflows into crypto funds. The report also noted a decline in bearish bets on Bitcoin, with short-Bitcoin products seeing $1.4 million in outflows.
In addition to Bitcoin and Ethereum, other altcoins like Solana and XRP also saw strong inflows of $2.78 million and $2.69 million, respectively, despite posting losses of over 10% in the past week. This trend reflects a broader appetite for digital assets among investors, even in the face of macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical unrest.
The inflows were not limited to crypto-specific products, as spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) also contributed significantly. BlackRock’s iShares ETFs led the pack with $1.28 billion in inflows, followed by ProShares and Bitwise with $71 million and $33 million, respectively.
On a regional level, the United States emerged as the leader in inflows with $1.25 billion, followed by Canada and Germany with $20.9 million and $10.9 million, respectively. However, Hong Kong and Switzerland experienced outflows of $32.6 million and $7.7 million from crypto funds.
Overall, the data from CoinShares’ report underscores the resilience of the crypto market and the continued confidence of investors in the asset class, despite the challenges posed by recent events. As the market dynamics continue to evolve, it will be interesting to see how these trends shape the future of digital asset investment.
