Crypto Funds See $136 Million Inflows Amid Seasonal Effects: What's Driving the Surge?
Crypto asset investment products witnessed $136 million of inflows last week, marking the third consecutive week of positive sentiment. This surge brings total inflows over the past three weeks to an impressive $470 million, signaling renewed investor confidence even amidst what some might consider seasonal market fluctuations. But what's behind this influx of capital?
Bitcoin Leads the Charge, But Altcoins Are Also Gaining Traction
While Bitcoin remains the favored cryptocurrency, recent inflows aren't solely focused on the king of crypto. CoinShares’ latest weekly report highlights that Bitcoin related investment products registered an inflow of $132.8 million. Furthermore, altcoins such as XRP, Solana, Polygon, Litecoin and Aave are also experiencing positive momentum. This diversified interest suggests a broadening understanding and acceptance of the wider crypto ecosystem.
Understanding the Market Dynamics: The Bitcoin SSR Ratio
The Bitcoin stablecoin supply ratio [SSR] recently created a 2025 high. This ratio compares the coin’s market cap against the aggregated market cap of all stablecoins. An understanding of such metrics is crucial for gauging market sentiment and predicting future price movements.
A Global Trend: ETF and ETP Inflows Surge
The influx into crypto funds isn't isolated to a single region. Global crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) recorded $6.3 billion of inflows in the past four weeks, accounting for 93% of total inflows year-to-date (YTD). Last week, investments in crypto funds ratcheted up to a record $1.76 billion, the highest number recorded since the launch of futures-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This underscores the growing appeal of regulated and easily accessible crypto investment vehicles.
Looking Ahead: Will the Inflow Trend Continue?
On September 16, 2025, CoinShares said global crypto funds attracted $436 million from investors last week, with Bitcoin leading the charge after a 10-day outflow streak totaling $1.18 billion. According to the latest CoinShares report, crypto investment products garnered $2 billion last week, marking a third week of inflows that now total $5.5 billion. While past performance is never a guarantee of future results, the current trend suggests a strengthening foundation for the crypto market. Factors to watch include regulatory developments, technological advancements in various blockchains, and continued institutional adoption.
