Digital Asset Inflows Surge to $2.2 Billion Amid Trump Inauguration Excitement
Amid the excitement surrounding Donald Trump’s inauguration as the 47th President of the United States, digital assets have witnessed a surge in investment inflows, with a staggering $2.2 billion pouring into these markets over the past week.
As of this writing, Bitcoin has surpassed $109,000, sparking predictions of continued growth due to the anticipated increase in institutional capital flows and supportive monetary policies from the US Federal Reserve. Additionally, historic cyclical trends and crypto-friendly regulations may also contribute to further price appreciation.
The digital asset market saw an influx of investment as a result of Trump’s inauguration, with the majority of inflows directed towards Bitcoin, which recorded $1.9 billion in weekly inflows, despite minor outflows from short positions during periods of price gains. This is a significant increase compared to previous weeks’ averages.
In addition to Bitcoin, Ethereum experienced inflows of $246 million, reversing its year-to-date (YTD) outflows. Solana’s modest $2.5 million in inflows is overshadowed by the impressive figures reported for other assets.
Interestingly, despite the recent price increases, there were small outflows from short positions of $127 billion, indicating that some investors have not yet abandoned ship.
The on-chain analytic platform suggests that historical patterns indicate significant price gains for Bitcoin during 2025, as this marks the final year of its four-year cycle. Furthermore, it is expected that institutional capital inflows will surge to $520 billion during this period.
What’s more, past cycles have witnessed increased inflows from $86 billion in 2015-2018 to a staggering $440 billion by early 2025.
