Last week the decision of the Federal Reserve to reduce interest rates, deposited a new wave of investments in digital actival funds, with Coinshares $ 1.9 billion in new inflow.
The policy shift, a 25-basic reduction that was announced after the FOMC meeting of September, gave investors a clearer signal that risk assets can benefit from easier financial conditions.
James Butterfill, Coinshares head of research, noted Those market traders initially hesitated when they interpreted the so -called “Hawkish Cut” as a mixed message. However, their sentiment was reversed as soon as the markets had time to adapt to this policy change.
According to him:
“The inflow was resumed later in the week, with $ 746 million on Thursday and Friday when the markets started digesting the implications for digital assets.”
He noticed that the momentum was in control of total assets in crypto investment products to $ 40.4 billion, the highest level registered this year. Given this, he said that 2025 could rival or surpass the $ 48.6 billion of last year if the current pace continues.
Bitcoin dominates
Bitcoin remained the biggest draw and laid $ 977 million in inflow last week. This was the third consecutive week of net profit, because the Ethereum ran out as the preferred assignment.
As a result, BTC-oriented funds have now seen the inflow of almost $ 4 billion this month, while their year-to-date currents was $ 24.7 billion. The funds manage more than $ 183 billion in assets in their different portfolios.
On the other hand, the appetite for short-bitcoin products continued to fall, with the funds losing $ 3.5 million last week and sliding to a multi-year low of $ 83 million under management.
The short situation of Bitcoin Fund can be linked to the restraint of investors to bet against Bitcoin, because they believe that the loose monetary policy is returning the balance to risk-on-transactions.
Altcoins attract $ 1 billion
In the meantime, the interest of investors in Altcoin products was pronounced last week, because this class of digital assets attracted around $ 1 billion inflow.
Ethereum, the second largest crypto assets per market capitalization, led the inflow for these altcoins and attracted $ 772 million in fresh capital.
This influx pushed its year-to-date a total of $ 12.6 billion and sent assets in Ethereum products to a record of $ 40.3 billion.
At the same time, smaller digital assets came to the rally with considerable inflow.
According to Coinshares, Solana products attracted $ 127.3 million, while XRP funds yielded $ 69.4 million. Both assets have now erased the $ 1.5 billion in the inflow of 2025.
Cardano, Sui, Litecoin and Chainlink pulled around $ 6 million together and reflected a broad, if lighter, spread of investor interests.
