The resurgence of Donald Trump in the presidency has sparked a surge of excitement in the cryptocurrency market, with institutional investors making bold investments in digital assets like XRP and Solana. This trend is highlighted in CoinShares’ Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report, showing a record influx of funds into the crypto market, pushing total assets under management (AuM) to a new all-time high.

Trump’s Return Drives Unprecedented Inflows

Despite it only being the beginning of 2025, cryptocurrency investment funds have already seen remarkable growth, indicating a promising year ahead. Recent data from CoinShares reveals that crypto asset investment funds received $2.2 billion in inflows last week, marking the largest inflow of the year and a substantial increase from the previous week’s $48 million in net inflows.

This surge in fund inflows is fueled by the optimism surrounding the upcoming Trump administration, which is anticipated to be supportive of the cryptocurrency industry. As a result, total AuM in crypto funds reached $171 billion by the end of last week, reaching a historic peak.

Notably, Bitcoin emerged as the top performer, receiving $1.9 billion in net inflows and demonstrating a bullish sentiment with outflows from short positions. This shift in sentiment is unexpected, as short-Bitcoin funds typically experience inflows during price surges.

Major Players Show Confidence in XRP and Solana

Amidst the overall market inflows, XRP and Solana have stood out as notable performers. Both cryptocurrencies have gained attention due to expectations that the Trump administration will focus on US-created cryptocurrencies like XRP and Solana.

XRP saw significant inflows, totaling $31 million last week and reaching a total of $484 million in inflows since mid-November 2024. This uptrend indicates growing interest among institutional investors and reflects positively on XRP’s price performance, approaching its previous all-time high.

Solana also experienced $2.5 million in inflows last week, with expectations of further growth following the successful launch of the Official Trump meme coin on the Solana network.

In terms of regional inflows, the United States led with $2 billion, followed by Switzerland at $89 million and Canada at $13 million. Additionally, Ethereum reversed earlier outflows with $246 million in inflows, although it remains a weaker performer compared to other major assets this year.
