Cryptocurrency investment products saw a sharp increase in inflows last week, driving the year-to-date total above $10 billion, according to data from European crypto investment manager CoinShares.

Global crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) recorded $3.3 billion of inflows during the week ending May 24, bringing total inflows year-to-date to a new record of $10.8 billion, CoinShares reported on May 26.

CoinShares head of research James Butterfill said total assets under management (AUM) in crypto ETPs briefly reached an all-time high of $187.5 billion, reflecting strong investor interest.

“We believe that growing concerns over the US economy, driven by the Moody’s downgrade and the resulting spike in treasury yields, have prompted investors to seek diversification through digital assets,” Butterfill wrote.

Crypto ETPs keep breaking records

The latest CoinShares data marks another record-breaking milestone for crypto ETPs, following a historic surge in YTD inflows the previous week.

In mid-May, crypto investment products added $785 million in new inflows, pushing the YTD total to $7.5 billion by May 16, according to CoinShares.

The new inflow record not only surpassed the previous peak of $7.2 billion recorded in February 2025 but also fully recovered the nearly $7 billion of outflows seen during the subsequent price correction in February and March, Butterfill said.

This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.
