This year also started on a positive note as investment products attracted $671 million on January 2 alone. Despite recording a few outflows earlier in the week, net inflows still stood at $582 million. As expected, the United States dominated the inflows in 2025, accounting for $47.2 billion, a 12% decline from the value recorded in 2024.

Aside from the US, a few other countries recorded huge inflows from digital assets. Germany accounted for $2.5 billion in inflows last year, a big turnaround from the $43 million outflows in 2024. Similarly, Canada saw $1.1 billion in inflows after recording $603 million in outflows in 2024. Switzerland saw steady growth, with $775 million in inflows. “Appetite in Switzerland rose modestly with inflows of US$775m in 2025, up 11.5% year-on-year,” the asset management firm stated.

Individual Digital Asset Product Performances in 2025

Compared to other assets, Bitcoin (BTC) had a weaker year, with inflows dropping 35% to $26.9 billion in 2025. Declining BTC prices forced many investors to consider other investment products. “A combination of price falls led to inflows of US$105m into short-Bitcoin products over 2025, although they remain niche with total AuM of US$139m,” CoinShares stated. 

Ethereum (ETH) was one of the best performers last year, with net inflows of approximately $12.7 billion, marking a 138% increase from the value recorded in 2024. This highlights growing investors’ interest in Ethereum-based products. XRP attracted $3.7 billion last year, representing a 500% increase from 2024. Solana (SOL) also experienced significant growth, attracting $3.6 billion in net inflows, marking a 1,000% increase over the year. Not all altcoins recorded massive inflows. Smaller altcoins experienced weaker demand, which negatively impacted their net inflows. 

The asset management firm explained:

“The remaining altcoins saw a decline in sentiment with a fall in inflows YoY of 30% (US$318m).”
