New data reveals a surge in investor interest in cryptocurrency. According to a report by CoinShares, crypto funds attracted significant investments last week, pushing the total for May to a record $2 billion. This also brings the year-to-date inflows past the $15 billion mark for the first time ever.
This trend coincides with major regulatory developments in the crypto space. The approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in January and similar approval for Ethereum ETFs in May are seen as key drivers of this investment surge. Bitcoin-focused funds were especially popular in May, with net inflows reaching $148 million last week alone.

Analysts at CoinShares attribute this turnaround to the recent regulatory approval of spot Ethereum ETFs in the U.S. While these ETFs are not yet operational, the anticipation surrounding their launch has likely boosted investor interest in Ethereum. This positive sentiment appears to be spilling over to other altcoins, with Solana and Chainlink also experiencing net inflows of $5.8 million and $1 million, respectively.
