Crypto ETPs log first weekly inflows in a month as investors return to market

Cryptocurrency investment products staged a sharp reversal last week, breaking a month-long outflow trend with approximately $1 billion in new capital.

The shift follows four consecutive weeks of withdrawals totaling $5.5 billion, marking a notable improvement in market sentiment after a period of sustained selling pressure.

According to European digital asset manager CoinShares, exchange-traded crypto products (ETPs) recorded $1.07 billion in inflows — their first positive week since late October.

The development suggests renewed confidence among institutional and professional investors, even as wider crypto markets have experienced volatility in recent weeks.

James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares, attributed the turnaround to improving expectations around monetary policy in the United States.

He pointed to recent remarks from Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) member John Williams, who described current policy as restrictive, a comment interpreted by market participants as a potential signal toward interest rate relief.

Investor flows recover as macro outlook stabilizes

Butterfill said optimism surrounding a possible rate cut in the near term appears to have influenced buying activity, particularly during the final week of November.

Lower interest rates typically increase appetite for risk-sensitive assets, including cryptocurrencies, which have struggled under tighter global financial conditions.

The $1.07 billion inflow marks the strongest weekly performance since early autumn, and — while still outweighed by prior losses — provides the market with its first momentum shift in a month.

The recovery also comes amid relatively low trading volumes in the United States during the Thanksgiving period, a sign that investors were willing to re-engage despite seasonal slowdowns.

Regionally, the United States accounted for almost the entire inflow volume, contributing close to $1 billion.

Fidelity led asset inflows among issuers at $230 million, followed by Volatility Shares Trust with $160 million, while BlackRock’s iShares products attracted $120 million.

XRP leads weekly gains with record-breaking inflows

Bitcoin, Ether, and XRP were the standout assets in last week’s inflow figures.

Bitcoin drew the largest share at $464 million, while Ether and XRP followed with $309 million and $289 million, respectively.

However, Bitcoin and Ether remain in negative territory on a month-to-date basis due to heavy early-November selling.

Bitcoin products have seen outflows of $2.8 billion so far this month, while Ether has recorded $1.4 billion in withdrawals.

XRP has moved against that trend decisively.

CoinShares data shows XRP investment products have attracted roughly $790 million in inflows this month — including the largest single-week inflow on record for the asset.

Butterfill linked the surge to new US exchange-traded fund launches, highlighting Canary Capital’s XRP ETF, which made its debut in mid-November.

Market rally brief but supportive of sentiment

The resurgence in investment product inflows aligned with a short-lived rally across major cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin briefly rose above $90,000 last week before retreating below $86,000 on Monday, according to CoinGecko.

For now, last week’s inflows provide early evidence of recovering sentiment, even as investors weigh macro conditions and shifting liquidity expectations.

Whether inflows continue will depend on policy signals from the US Federal Reserve — and whether digital asset markets can maintain stability through year-end.
