Well, butter my biscuit and call me Liz Lemon, because the crypto world just got a whole lot weirder. Digital asset investment products raked in $224 million last week, with XRP hogging the spotlight like a boss. But don’t get too comfy-macro headwinds swooped in like a passive-aggressive boss at the end of the week to ruin the party.
The recovery was about as even as my chances of winning a hot dog eating contest. Switzerland, the land of chocolate and neutrality, stepped up like a hero in a rom-com, grabbing the biggest slice of the inflow pie. Meanwhile, Ethereum investors were like, “Nah, we’re good,” and kept running for the hills thanks to the Clarity Act drama. Regulatory sentiment? More like regulatory snoreiment.
Switzerland: The Unexpected Crypto Prom Queen
In a plot twist that no one saw coming (except maybe that one guy in the comments section), European investors drove the week’s crypto inflows. Switzerland led the pack with $157.5 million, according to CoinShares. Germany and Canada were like, “We’re here too!” with $27.7 million and $11.2 million, respectively. Cute.
The US, usually the star of this show, ended up in third place with a measly $27.5 million. Guess even the crypto world needs a break from America’s drama. The geographic split suggests Europeans are either geniuses or just really good at ignoring macro policy. Jury’s still out.
Also, can we talk about how the US is like that friend who always shows up late to the party and then complains about the snacks? “Where’s the guac? I thought this was a party!”
XRP Flexes, Bitcoin Shrugs, Ethereum Faceplants
XRP was the belle of the ball with $119.6 million in inflows, its best week since mid-December 2025. Year-to-date, it’s sitting pretty with $159 million, or 7% of assets under management. Spot XRP ETFs? More like spot XRP yeets.
Bitcoin was like, “I’m here too, guys,” with $107.3 million in inflows. But let’s be real, it’s still nursing a $145 million hangover from April. Short-bitcoin products saw $16 million in inflows, because apparently everyone’s a critic now.
Solana grabbed $34.9 million, because why not? Meanwhile, Ethereum was the friend who showed up to the party and immediately spilled their drink. $52.8 million in outflows? Ouch. The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act is like that one text you keep ignoring, but it won’t stop blowing up your phone.
Ethereum’s got more exposure to this act than I have to my ex’s Instagram stories. And let’s not forget the Senate stalemate-because nothing says “progress” like a bunch of adults arguing over stablecoin yields.
Macro Pressure: The Party Pooper
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, Friday happened. Stronger-than-expected US retail sales data and hawkish Fed vibes sent everyone running for the exits. Minor outflows in the final sessions were like the cherry on top of a very messy sundae.
Geopolitical signals? More like geopolitical shrugs. Crude oil prices are up, rate-cut hopes are down, and risk appetite is as fragile as my self-esteem after a bad haircut. XRP’s momentum now depends on economic data and Senate shenanigans. Good luck, buddy.
