- Bitcoin suffers net outflows after US court ruling
Cryptocurrency funds saw $286 million in global net inflows last week, marking the seventh consecutive period of positive inflows, according to data from CoinShares. The highlight was Ethereum, which alone moved US$ 321 million in the period, driven by a more optimistic market perception regarding the digital asset.
According to James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, this is Ethereum's best weekly performance since December 2024. In total, institutional products backed by the second-largest cryptocurrency on the market have already totaled US$1,2 billion in collections in the last six weeks.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin funds, traditionally the most popular among investors, saw a net outflow of $8 million. The reversal came after a U.S. court ruling invalidating certain fees hit BlackRock's IBIT Bitcoin ETF, halting a 34-day streak of inflows.
The positive movement in Ethereum products helped offset the capital outflow in Bitcoin, reflecting a possible diversification of institutional flows. Still, even with the increase in inflows, total assets under management fell from US$187 billion to US$177 billion, in line with the volatility in the price of crypto assets.
Among the most active managers are names such as Fidelity, Bitwise, Grayscale, ProShares and 21Shares, which continue to expand their offering of investment products based on digital assets, even in the face of market fluctuations.
The CoinShares report also highlighted that Ethereum's weekly performance represents a strengthening in institutional investor sentiment towards the asset, reinforcing its role as the main alternative to Bitcoin in portfolios of funds specialized in cryptocurrencies.
