Crypto investment products attracted $224 million last week, according to a report by CoinShares. Europe unexpectedly showed the most activity, and XRP delivered the best result in recent months.
Switzerland became the leader in inflows — $157.5 million. This is significantly more than in the US, where investment volume was only $27.5 million. According to CoinShares analyst James Butterfill, this difference points to a rare shift in the geography of institutional investments.
The main beneficiary was XRP. Over the week, it saw an inflow of $119.6 million — the best result since mid-December 2025. Since the beginning of the year, inflows have reached $159 million, which is about 7% of all assets under management.
For other major cryptocurrencies, the picture is mixed. Bitcoin attracted $107.3 million, despite an outflow of $145 million at the beginning of April. Ethereum continues to lag behind, with $52.8 million withdrawn over the week.
Solana broke out of the general trend and attracted $34.9 million. Since the beginning of the year, its share has grown to 10% of assets under management.

Interest has also returned to products betting on bitcoin’s decline. Short BTC funds received $16 million — the highest since mid-November 2025. At the same time, analysts attribute some of the outflows at the end of the week to strong retail sales data and revised investor expectations.
The shift in capital flows is occurring against the backdrop of regulatory differences between regions. The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act passed the House of Representatives in mid-2025, but stalled in the Senate due to disagreements over stablecoin yields.
In the US, spot ETFs for XRP launched at the end of 2025, giving institutional investors access to the asset through regulated instruments. The growth of XRP amid activity in Europe may indicate that investors are focusing on clearer rules in different jurisdictions.
Meanwhile, the week for bitcoin ETFs began with a strong inflow. On Monday, funds attracted $471.3 million — the best daily result since February, according to SoSoValue.
