Institutional money floods Bitcoin – $2.7B inflows lead the charge!

Crypto markets are riding a wave of institutional capital, with $3.7 billion in inflows last week alone, pushing total assets under management to a record $211 billion.

Bitcoin [BTC] and Ethereum [ETH] remain the primary magnets for capital, boosted by Grayscales quiet push toward a public listing, a sign that traditional finance is still doubling down.

But zooming out: China‘s stronger-than-expected growth dims hopes for more stimulus-driven Bitcoin upside, while Germany’s full BTC exit last year left billions on the table.

Capital is flowing, but the crosscurrents are anything but simple.

Bitcoin accounted for $2.7 billion of that total, reinforcing its status as the primary macro hedge within digital portfolios as it approaches parity with gold ETPs.

Ethereum followed with $990 million in inflows, marking its twelfth consecutive week of gains, powered by staking demand and anticipation of key upgrades.

TradFi goes knee-deep in crypto

On the other hand, asset management firm Vanguard Group has become the largest shareholder in Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy). Vanguard now owns over 20 million shares – nearly 8% of the companys Class A common stock – surpassing Capital Group.

While Vanguard has long expressed skepticism toward Bitcoin and crypto products, its growing equity stake is a big turnaround.

Meanwhile, Grayscale Investments has confidentially filed for an IPO; a move showing that even crypto-native firms are willing to evolve to meet public market standards.
