• Bitcoin dominated asset-level flows but we saw continued strength across Ethereum, Solana, and a wide range of altcoins.

• Blockchain equities also performed strongly, attracting US$72.6M of inflows and underscoring sustained investor interest across the digital asset ecosystem.

  Digital asset investment products recorded inflows of US$2.17B last week, the largest weekly total since 10 October 2025, just ahead of the market crash. Inflows were stronger earlier in the week, but sentiment turned negative on Friday, with US$378M of outflows following diplomatic escalation over Greenland and renewed threats of additional tariffs. Sentiment was also weighed down by suggestions that Kevin Hassett, a leading contender for the next US Fed Chair and a well-known policy dove, is likely to remain in his current role.

Regionally, the positive sentiment was broad, with the US leading, seeing US$2.05B of inflows, Germany, Switzerland, Canada and the Netherlands followed with inflows of US$63.9M, US$41.6M, US$12.3M and US$6.0M respectively.

Bitcoin led inflows with US$1.55B. Despite proposals under the CLARITY Act from the US Senate Banking Committee that could restrict stablecoins from offering yield, Ethereum and Solana still recorded inflows of US$496M and US$45.5M respectively. A broad range of altcoins saw inflows, most notable being XRP (US$69.5M), Sui (US$5.7M), LIDO (US$3.7M) and Hedera (US$2.6M).

 Blockchain equities had a very strong week with inflows totalling US$72.6M.
