Bitcoin inflows fell 35% to $26.9 billion, while Ethereum, XRP, and Solana saw sharp inflow growth during the year.
Crypto funds finished 2025 with a total of $47.2 billion in new money coming in. That’s just under the $48.7 billion pulled in during 2024. The final week of the year ended strongly, as $671 million came in on Friday, flipping the whole week positive with $571 million, even after some earlier losses.
Charts from CoinShares show the biggest surges happened in week 6 and week 18 of 2025, while the worst hits came in weeks 8 and 35. Most of the cash flowed into the U.S., which raked in $44.524 billion, but that was still down 12% from the year before.
The real surprise was Germany, which flipped from $43 million in losses in 2024 to $2.5 billion coming in last year.
Canada followed the same pattern, with $1.1 billion in inflows after $603 million left the market in the year before. Switzerland saw a small gain; $775 million, up 11.5% from 2024.
Bitcoin flops while Ethereum, XRP and Solana pull billions
Bitcoin didn’t have a great year, as you probably already know. The OG crypto brought in $26.9 billion, which was 35% lower than the year before.
Some traders tried shorting it, as $105 million went into short-Bitcoin funds, but those still only have $139 million total under management.
Ethereum, though, pulled in $12.7 billion, up 138% compared to 2024, while XRP brought in $3.7 billion, a 500% spike, and Solana made $3.6 billion, up by a crazy 1000%. But altcoin flows dropped 30%, landing at just $318 million, according to CoinShares.
The biggest weekly haul came around week 45. Charts also showed Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other coins with wild inflow swings between week 2 and week 52. One table ranked coins by assets under management. Bitcoin led the pack, with Ethereum behind it. Altcoins Solana and XRP climbed the ladder, but no one passed the top two.
Other tables tracked weekly, monthly, and yearly flows by fund providers like iShares and Grayscale, along with their assets under management. Separate charts showed net new assets across digital asset ETPs from 2019 to 2026, revealing how much fresh money got added over time.
Traders eye Bitcoin breakout and watch MicroStrategy
Meanwhile, options trader Nishant Pant thinks, “The extreme volatility and high capital requirements don’t fit my preferred risk profile.”
Nishant’s top pick is MicroStrategy, but he’s not jumping in just yet.”While MSTR is an excellent proxy, it has been trapped in a persistent downtrend since July,” he said.
For him, it all comes down to Bitcoin’s chart. “We cannot look at the stock in isolation; we need confirmation from the mothership,” he added.
Right now, Bitcoin is sitting a bit above $94,000, which Nishant says is the line in the sand. If it gets past that, he thinks “it will likely act as a rising tide for the entire sector.”
Until that happens, he’s watching three things: RSI, DMI, and support and resistance. “RSI has suddenly pivoted,” he explained. “We are seeing a sharp, vertical trajectory in momentum.”
For DMI, “the DI+ and DI- lines are beginning to curl and change direction.” That signals buying and selling pressure is starting to change.
