Last week, net inflows of $6 million were reported in cryptocurrency-based investment products.
According to CoinShares’ weekly report, global investor sentiment remains mixed, yet there are signs of recovery. While outflows from the U.S. continue to exert pressure on the market, strong inflows from Europe and Canada have balanced the situation. Notably, the altcoin XRP has captured investors’ attention, ending the week with an impressive performance.

In contrast, Europe presents a more optimistic scenario, with inflows of $43.7 million in Switzerland, $22.3 million in Germany, and $9.4 million in Canada. These figures suggest that regional investors are beginning to regain confidence in the cryptocurrency market.
