Digital Asset Investments Garner $47.2B in 2025, Despite Bitcoin's Decline

In 2025, digital asset investment products globally saw inflows of $47.2 billion, slightly less than the $48.7 billion record in 2024. Bitcoin struggled, with inflows dropping 35% to $26.9 billion due to falling prices. However, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana enjoyed increased inflows, pulling in $12.7 billion, $3.7 billion, and $3.6 billion respectively. Smaller altcoins experienced reduced demand and multi-asset products saw a $214 million outflow. The U.S. remained the largest recipient of digital asset investments with $42.5 billion, albeit a 12% decrease from the previous year. Analyst Markus Thielen suggests that Bitcoin may be in a healthier, more constructive position entering 2026, with investors holding leaner, cleaner portfolios that could allow the market to reset and move more organically.
