According to CoinShares’ latest Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report, inflows into crypto-products were $3.75 billion last week, the fourth-largest on record. Unsurprisingly, Ethereum was the standout after attracting the majority of capital with record-breaking inflows. Solana and XRP also experienced impressive demand, resulting in both cryptocurrencies receiving inflows exceeding 10% of the year-to-date total flows. Ethereum’s Record-Breaking Numbers Ethereum witnessed the most activity last week since the 2021 bull run that took many crypto investors by surprise. In terms of crypto-based products, Ethereum managed to displace Bitcoin’s supremacy last week by leading with $2.87 billion in inflows, representing 77% of the total $3.75 billion. This performance brought its year-to-date inflows to $11.094 billion, which is about 29% of total Ethereum assets under management.

Notably, the Ethereum price surged to $4,776 last week, its highest level since the 2021 bull market. In terms of geographical location, most of the inflows came from the United States, with $3.725 billion in inflows, more than 99% of the total. This concentration was mostly by iShares ETFs. Smaller but meaningful contributions came from Canada with $33.7 million, Hong Kong with $20.9 million, and Australia with $12.1 million. On the other hand, Brazil and Sweden posted outflows of $10.6 million and $49.9 million, respectively. Although Bitcoin also managed to push to a new all-time price high of $124,128 last week, the leading cryptocurrency took a step back in institutional inflows. Bitcoin brought in $552 million last week. Although its year-to-date inflows are larger in absolute terms at $21.08 billion, they represent only 11.6% of its total assets under management (AuM), compared to Ethereum’s 29%. XRP And Solana Join The Party Although Ethereum captured most of the inflows, both Solana and XRP also attracted notable inflows that show the altcoins are gaining strength among institutional investors, despite the absence of spot crypto ETFs for these assets in the US market.

Solana-based products recorded $176.5 million, bringing its monthly flows to $199.2 million and its year-to-date figure to $1.05 billion. Effectively, this means that Solana-based products witnessed 89% of their total monthly inflow and 16.8% of their year-to-date inflow last week. XRP witnessed about $125.9 million worth of inflows last week, boosting its monthly total to $148.1 million and its 2025 total to $1.238 billion. As such, XRP-based products also witnessed 85% of their total monthly inflow and 10% of their year-to-date inflow last week. Sui, Cardano, Chainlink, and Short Bitcoin products also witnessed $11.3, $0.8 million, $1.2 million, and $4 million in inflows, respectively, last week. The only major exception was Litecoin, which diverged from the broader trend and recorded net outflows of $400,000. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

Bitcoin eased back this week after a fresh peak, but a loud bullish pitch is making rounds. According to market updates, the coin hit about $124,390 before slipping to $114,158 and then nudging up to $115,285 at press time. Related Reading: Analyst Says Shiba Inu’s $0.000010 Support Could Trigger Major Bounce Based on reports from a chart-focused analyst who goes by AO, Bitcoin may be tracing a pattern like gold’s, and that pattern could point to a rise toward $600,000 — a jump of roughly 420% from current levels. Analyst Sees Gold Pattern AO’s view rests on chart shapes. He compares Bitcoin’s recent wedge and ascending triangle to the way gold moved over the last decade. According to AO, Bitcoin’s consolidation around $115,000 could be the base for a large breakout. #BITCOIN IS READY FOR A HUGE BULL RUN. pic.twitter.com/eorprzknEQ — AO (@AO_btc_analyst) August 18, 2025 AO’s scenario includes what he calls “missing legs,” and he puts a possible run above half a million dollars by 2026 if the pattern completes the way he expects. Reports have mentioned similar geometric comparisons from other watchers, though few attach a precise price target like $600,000. Market Scale If Target Hits Based on those numbers, a $600,000 price tag would imply market value in the ballpark of approximately $12 trillion. That figure would push Bitcoin past many big tech names and place it closer to gold’s valuation than where it stands now. According to the same reports, that is the idea being used to argue Bitcoin’s case as a major store of value. The math behind the headline number is simple, and the size of the move — about 420% from roughly $115,000 — is what makes the claim dramatic. Bull Case Backed By Some Big Names Institutional voices add fuel to the talk. Strategy’s Michael Saylor, who has been one of Bitcoin’s most consistent backers, continues to argue that the asset will outshine traditional stores of value as more companies adopt it for their balance sheets. Ark Invest’s Cathie Wood has projected that Bitcoin could eventually climb to the $1 million mark, underscoring the growing confidence among high-profile investors. Meanwhile, Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego has also voiced his view that Bitcoin could surpass gold’s roughly $22 trillion valuation in time. Related Reading: After Monero Hit, Qubic Group Puts Dogecoin On Target List Signals That Could Change The Story Not everyone treats the pattern call as a forecast. Some analysts warn that matching a chart shape to gold doesn’t prove the same outcome will follow. The two assets have different buyers, liquidity and use cases, and a huge lift to $600,000 would likely need long-term, large flows into Bitcoin — for example, big institutional allocations or permanent reserve moves — not just a short-term momentum spike. Regulation, interest rates and market shocks are other real factors that could alter any plan. Featured image from ETF Stream, chart from TradingView
