From January 10 to 16, inflows into cryptocurrency investment products totaled $2.17 billion, marking the highest level since October 2025, according to a report by CoinShares.

The positive trend continued until January 16, but investor sentiment shifted by the end of the week, leading to a daily outflow of $378 million.

Experts attributed this reversal to a diplomatic scandal involving Greenland, threats of new tariffs, and uncertainty surrounding the appointment of the Federal Reserve Chair.

Bitcoin attracted the majority of funds, bringing in $1.55 billion.

Ethereum funds received $496 million, despite discussions in the U.S. Senate regarding the Clarity Act, which could potentially limit the yield of stablecoins.

Solana-based instruments garnered $45.5 million. Other assets showing positive trends included:

  • XRP — $69.5 million;
  • Sui — $5.7 million;
  • LIDO — $3.7 million;
  • Hedera — $2.6 million.

Regionally, the U.S. dominated with an inflow of $2.05 billion, followed by Germany ($63.9 million), Switzerland ($41.6 million), and Canada ($12.3 million).

Blockchain company stocks also showed positive dynamics, with inflows reaching $72.6 million.

Bitcoin ETF

Last week, net inflows into American spot Bitcoin ETFs totaled $1.42 billion, the highest weekly figure since October.

Leading the inflows was BlackRock's IBIT fund, which recorded $1.03 billion in net inflows.

Nick Rak, director of LVRG Research, suggested that the inflow into ETFs signals a resurgence of institutional demand and confidence in Bitcoin's long-term prospects. He noted that ongoing coin accumulation could lead to supply shortages and support price recovery.

However, the current price correction has triggered a wave of liquidations. According to CoinGlass, the volume of forced liquidations in the crypto market reached $874.53 million in one day, primarily affecting traders who were long: losses in long positions amounted to $788.05 million.

Vincent Liu, CIO of Kronos Research, linked the decline to an overheated derivatives market.

“Bitcoin's pullback to $92,000, despite strong inflows into ETFs, highlights the influence of derivatives. Excessive leverage with low liquidity during a reversal triggered cascading liquidations,” the expert explained.

Liu added that structural support remains intact, but in the short term, digital gold is vulnerable to sharp downward movements due to leverage and liquidity factors.

Spot Ethereum ETFs also showed positive dynamics, attracting $479 million over the week, marking their best performance since October.
