Global Digital Asset Inflows Hit $47.2B in 2025, Just Shy of 2024 Record

  vor 3 Tagen

Global digital asset investment products closed 2025 with inflows totaling $47.2 billion, narrowly missing the $48.7 billion record set the year before. Key Takeaways: Global crypto investment inflows reached $47.2B in 2025, just shy of the previous year’s record. The US remained the largest source of inflows, while Europe rebounded sharply led by Germany and Canada. Investor demand rotated toward Ethereum and select large-cap altcoins as Bitcoin inflows cooled. The final stretch of the year showed renewed momentum, with $671 million flowing in on the last Friday of 2025 and $582 million added over the full week, despite earlier outflows, according to a Monday report from CoinShares . US Still Leads Crypto Inflows as Europe Stages Comeback The United States continued to dominate activity, accounting for the bulk of inflows at $47.2 billion, though that figure marked a 12% decline from 2024 levels. Europe, however, delivered the most notable turnaround. Germany recorded $2.5 billion in inflows after posting net outflows a year earlier, while Canada saw $1.1 billion return to the market following a weak 2024. Switzerland also reported steady growth, with $775 million in inflows, up more than 11% year over year. Asset-level trends were mixed. Bitcoin saw a sharp cooling in demand, with inflows falling 35% to $26.9 billion amid price weakness during parts of the year. That softness led to modest interest in short-Bitcoin products, which attracted $105 million, though total assets under management in that segment remained small at $139 million. 2026 Bitcoin Updates: 1) BTC ETF inflow highest since Nov 11th, 2025. My algo also placed its first long of 2026 on Jan 2nd. pic.twitter.com/9zxS96Wv8D — Chris Park (@chrispark_bitgo) January 4, 2026 Ethereum emerged as a standout performer, drawing $12.7 billion in inflows, a 138% increase from the previous year. Several large-cap altcoins also posted outsized gains. XRP inflows jumped 500% to $3.7 billion, while Solana surged 1,000% to $3.6 billion, reflecting stronger investor appetite for select alternatives. Beyond the top names, sentiment weakened. Inflows into other altcoins fell 30% year over year to $318 million, underscoring a more selective approach from investors. Overall, the data suggests 2025 remained a strong year for digital asset products, even as capital rotated toward fewer, more established tokens. Crypto ETFs See First Monthly Outflows of 2025 Global crypto ETFs and ETPs recorded net outflows of $2.95 billion in November, marking the first month of withdrawals in 2025, according to ETFGI. The pullback followed a cooling in crypto markets after record asset levels in September, as investors took profits amid heightened volatility. Even so, total assets stood at $179.16 billion at the end of November, up nearly 18% year-to-date, making 2025 the second-strongest year on record for crypto ETF flows. Bitcoin- and Ethereum-linked products drove most of the November decline. Bitcoin ETFs and ETPs saw $2.36 billion in net outflows, while Ethereum products lost $1.36 billion during the month. Despite this, both assets remain leaders for the year, with Bitcoin attracting $26.26 billion and Ethereum $12.89 billion in net inflows so far. The market also remains highly concentrated, with the top three providers controlling nearly three-quarters of global crypto ETF assets. Away from the majors, smaller crypto themes showed selective strength. Solana products continued to gain traction, while Cardano and Polkadot saw modest positive flows. Some products even bucked the broader trend, with the top 20 ETFs by net new assets drawing $2.17 billion in November.

WLFI holders approve plan to use 5% of treasury to boost USD1 adoption

  vor 3 Tagen

The decentralized finance project tied to the family of US President Donald Trump has approved a governance initiative to accelerate the adoption of its dollar-pegged stablecoin, USD1. According to World Liberty Financial’s official announcement on X, the project’s community passed the proposal on Sunday by 77.75%. As Cryptopolitan reported in mid-December, the proposal recommends allocating not less than 5% of unlocked WLFI holdings toward incentives for centralized and decentralized finance platforms that list or promote USD1. WLFI greenlights proposal to allocate treasury funds for USD1 promotion According to the advisory proposal published on the project’s forum, WLFI is making a coordinated attempt to use treasury resources to directly influence USD1’s ecosystem growth. While non-binding in nature, the vote creates more rules for how future treasury decisions could be handled. “WLFI moves where its community directs it. This is your ecosystem and your call. Today’s vote will be proof that governance here drives growth,” the project’s team said in a post on X after the ballot was closed. The governance document doubled down on practicing transparency, stating that any token deployment would be publicly disclosed. WLFI added that more details of partnerships and incentive structures would be shared on its website and through written project communications. USD1 is the first flagship product within the World Liberty Financial ecosystem, and has grown to nearly $3 billion in total value locked, according to project data tracked from its debut six months ago. World Liberty Financial believes in sustaining this momentum through targeted incentives that would help it compete with the rest of the stablecoin market. WLFI token starts 2026 with a 20% weekly price uptrend WLFI’s governance vote comes on the heels of an upward price breakout in its token, which, despite falling 0.62% over the past 24 hours to $0.173, has counted a 20% increase in the last seven days. The coin rose 11% throughout the weekend after news of US military action in Venezuela spread, then holders locked in gains near a key resistance band between $0.172 and $0.182. In his first interview and televised address to the nation following the strikes, POTUS Trump said the US would take control of Venezuela’s oil industry. He added that Venezuela holds more than 300 billion barrels of oil, assets he said are worth over $17 trillion at current market prices. The president also mentioned that he did not inform Congress ahead of the military action, claiming an advance notice would have resulted in leaks that could have compromised the operation. WLFI had a hard time getting above its 50- and 100-period exponential moving averages all through December. But on New Year’s Eve, WLFI eventually broke over the $0.15 to $0.155 range and passed the 20, 50, 100, and 200 EMAs one after the other. The 200 EMA near $0.147 has since turned upward and now sits below its current price. On the four-hour chart, RSI moved into the high-60s and briefly touched the low-70s during the breakout, a sign of early consolidation rather than an exhaustion top. Trump-family crypto empire to grow in 2026 The governance vote also comes as Trump-affiliated entities add more digital asset products. According to a press statement from the Trump Media and Technology Group, the company behind the Truth Social platform, plans to issue a new crypto to its shareholders are underway. The firm said the token would be distributed on a one-for-one basis, where investors will receive one digital token for each share they hold. US President Trump, the largest shareholder in the company, has so far delivered on his promise to make the West more supportive of the crypto economy and businesses. Trump Media said the initiative was part of a strategy to engage shareholders through blockchain-based products. The token will be distributed through a partnership with the Crypto.com exchange and is expected to operate on the Cronos blockchain. Devin Nunes, the company’s chief executive, told news reporters the new token has a “first-of-its-kind distribution” to “reward Trump Media shareholders, and promote fair and transparent markets”.

Jupiter & Helium Expose Token Buyback “Meta” — Why It Never Works in Crypto

  vor 3 Tagen

Jupiter and Helium are forcing a difficult but increasingly unavoidable conversation in crypto: token buybacks often look effective on paper, yet fail when supply dynamics overwhelm demand. In recent weeks, both projects have moved to reassess buyback programs after spending tens of millions of dollars with little visible impact on token prices, exposing a broader structural problem across DeFi. Buybacks vs. Supply: Why Helium and Jupiter Are Changing Course Helium confirmed in early January that it has halted HNT buybacks funded by Helium Mobile revenue, despite generating $3.4 million in October 2025 alone. Founder and CEO Amir Haleem said the market showed little response to open-market purchases, prompting the team to redirect capital toward subscriber growth, hardware expansion, and increased carrier offload usage. an update on HNT buybacks: the market doesn’t seem to care about projects buying their tokens back off the market, so we are going to stop wasting our money under the current conditions Helium + Mobile generated $3.4M in October alone and I’d rather we use that money to grow the… — amir (@amirhaleem) January 2, 2026 Helium had shifted to daily automated buybacks in late 2025, burning tokens purchased with revenue from mobile subscriptions and network data usage. That program followed earlier treasury-funded burns and was designed to tie real business activity to token supply reduction. While data credit burns from network usage remain in place, buybacks tied to mobile revenue have now been paused. Buybacks $70 Million Unlocks $1.2 Billion Someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this, my token is dying pic.twitter.com/LnInIM0985 — Wazz (@WazzCrypto) January 3, 2026 Jupiter is facing a similar reckoning, as the Solana-based DEX aggregator spent more than $70 million on JUP buybacks in 2025, funded by roughly half of its protocol fee revenue. With JUP trading near $0.21, down almost 90% from its early-2024 high, Jupiter founder Siong publicly asked the community whether buybacks should be halted. what do you all think if we stop the JUP buyback? we spent more than 70m on buyback last year and the price obviously didn’t move much. we can use the 70m to give out for growth incentives for existing and new users. should we do it? — SIONG (@sssionggg) January 3, 2026 The common thread is supply, as Jupiter’s circulating supply has expanded sharply, driven by airdrops, staking rewards, and scheduled unlocks. Roughly 700 million JUP entered circulation through January 2025 alone, while ongoing ASR rewards added persistent inflation, with buybacks absorbing only a fraction of that issuance. As critics across Solana DeFi have pointed out, buying tokens in the open market does little when new supply consistently exceeds what is being removed. In that environment, buybacks become exit liquidity rather than long-term value capture. This dynamic has fueled a broader critique of what some describe as “chart painting.” Buybacks can create short-term support or narrative momentum, but without structural demand, they struggle to hold. We have now gone from “buybacks are great” to “buybacks don’t work” Have we you considered the following: – your token is just overvalued – buybacks don’t offset issuance (unlocks) – Expected buybacks are on future revenue, revenue is reflexive – discount assigned for “off… — Infra | Raydium (@0xINFRA) January 3, 2026 Why Buybacks Alone Struggle to Support Crypto Tokens Several market participants argue that buybacks only work when they are paired with reasons to hold the token, such as mandatory utility, reduced emissions, or direct participation in cash flows. Otherwise, traders simply sell into predictable buying pressure. buybacks are an inherently pessimistic mechanism they imply: we don't have a better use for the cash than to paint the chart in the short term (in the hopes that the chart works out long term) it's an implicit binary option where you are in a sense trying to bootstrap the… — mert | helius (@mert) January 3, 2026 At the same time, defenders of buybacks note they are not inherently flawed. In traditional finance, buybacks are meant to return excess capital when equity is undervalued, not to offset aggressive dilution. In crypto, however, tokens rarely represent ownership, and future buybacks are discretionary rather than guaranteed. For Helium, the challenge is aligning its growing off-chain business with on-chain value. The network now supports nearly 600,000 mobile subscribers and generates steady data credit burns through carrier offload. Source: Helium The team’s current strategy prioritizes expanding real usage, with the expectation that higher network activity will eventually strengthen token economics. Buybacks remain an option, but only once growth and cash flows materially outpace issuance. Jupiter’s situation is more complex, as it operates one of the most profitable DeFi platforms, with deep liquidity, large TVL, and a growing suite of products, including perps, lending, and a mobile wallet. Yet JUP remains largely optional. Source: Defiliama Analysts argue that without tighter integration into the protocol’s core functions, buybacks alone cannot absorb inflation or anchor value. Proposals circulating within the ecosystem focus on reducing emissions, tying rewards to revenue, and making JUP an asset for serious users rather than a passive governance token.

Standard Chartered Is Forecasting Major XRP Breakout. Here’s What Is Coming

  vor 3 Tagen

XRP has returned to the center of market attention following commentary by crypto analyst and investor Xaif Crypto, who highlighted developments around exchange-traded funds and regulatory clarity. The focus of the analysis rests on a projection attributed to Standard Chartered, which sees the digital asset entering a new phase driven less by speculative momentum and more by sustained institutional participation. According to the assessment referenced by Xaif Crypto, Standard Chartered has reiterated a bullish price outlook for XRP, projecting a move toward the $8 level by the end of next year. The forecast implies a substantial upside from current market levels. It is framed as a response to shifting conditions that analysts believe are now more favorable than at any point in recent years. Central to this view is the argument that prolonged regulatory uncertainty, which had weighed on XRP for an extended period, is gradually easing, allowing larger pools of capital to engage with greater confidence. $XRP to $8!! Standard Chartered is forecasting a major XRP breakout as institutional interest drives over one billion dollars into new spot ETFS. pic.twitter.com/aBfWWfZIv4 — Xaif Crypto | (@Xaif_Crypto) January 1, 2026 ETF Inflows Signal Growing Institutional Commitment The analysis points to tangible data supporting the institutional thesis. Since their launch in November, U.S.-listed spot XRP exchange-traded funds have reportedly attracted more than $1.2 billion in net inflows. This level of capital allocation is presented as evidence that professional investors are not merely observing from the sidelines but are actively establishing exposure through regulated products. Such inflows are interpreted as an early indicator of longer-term positioning rather than short-term trading activity. The presence of these products has lowered structural barriers for institutions that require compliant investment vehicles, potentially broadening demand for XRP beyond retail participation. Market Structure and Volume Dynamics From a technical perspective, XRP has been holding near a key support area around $1.85, suggesting a period of consolidation rather than weakness. While price action has remained relatively contained, trading volume has shown notable changes. Activity has been reported at roughly 20% above the weekly average, a development that analysts interpret as deliberate positioning by market participants anticipating a directional move. We are on X, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025 This combination of stable price levels and rising volume is framed as a constructive signal, indicating accumulation behavior rather than reactive selling or panic-driven buying. It reinforces the broader narrative that market participants are preparing for a potential breakout aligned with the institutional developments underway. Community Reaction Reflects Long-Term Orientation Commentary from the wider market has echoed this long-term perspective. One community member responding to the outlook downplayed the significance of the $8 target in isolation, characterizing it as an initial step rather than a final objective. The sentiment emphasized continued accumulation during current price ranges, not only in XRP but across digital assets viewed as having utility-driven use cases. Together, the institutional forecasts, ETF inflow data, and evolving market structure outlined by Xaif Crypto present a picture of XRP entering a phase defined by strategic capital deployment and improving clarity, setting the stage for potentially significant developments over the coming year.

Deutsche stock crossed book value for the first time since 2008 financial crisis

  vor 3 Tagen

Deutsche Bank’s stock has finally traded above its book value for the first time since the 2008 financial crisis. On Monday, shares jumped to €33.95 in early Frankfurt trading, crossing the most recent book value of €33.66. By late morning, it slipped slightly to €33.77, but the price remained above that threshold. Deutsche has been trading below book since early 2008. That’s 18 years stuck under its asset value, as legal fights, restructuring failures, and a decade of missed earnings weighed down Germany’s biggest bank. The price-to-book ratio (only cared for by investors who still bother with bank stocks) has now broken even. That’s a first since the global economy started cracking in 2008. Deutsche is facing legal drama, dead assets, and investor flight Back in March 2020, Deutsche’s stock was down to €4.88, or just 0.19 times book value. Nobody believed in the recovery plan, as the economy was frozen by COVID-19, and Deutsche was still stuck with losses from the ECB’s negative rates, overdue layoffs, and endless restructuring bills. Fast forward to now, and Deutsche has doubled over the past year, in what is now a part of a three-year run across the European banking sector. But Deutsche’s story has been more than just luck. It shut down its equities trading unit, dropped loss-heavy business lines, and leaned into corporate banking and fixed-income trading. And it finally started plugging the legal holes, with cases tied to mis-sold mortgage-backed securities being closed. Still, the rally hasn’t brought it back to 2008 levels. Even after this year’s surge, the stock is only halfway to where it stood before the crash. Market cap is now €65 billion, compared to €35 billion back then. That growth is mostly from €33 billion in fresh equity raised over the years, the biggest chunk coming in 2017, when it needed to patch the balance sheet after fines and the expensive takeover of Postbank. That deal haunts the bank. Postbank has been a problem from day one. The retail business has dragged, although some profit has returned after branch closures and layoffs. Deutsche’s CEO, Christian Sewing, said last year, “When I still have the chance to get significantly better through my own effort, I don’t want to let anything hold me back from that.” No big deals on the table. He wants the bank to fix itself. Deutsche’s returns are still behind rivals, and skepticism are growing inside Back in October, the bank posted its strongest nine-month profit since 2007. Analysts now say Deutsche will hit a 10% return on tangible equity for 2025, its stated target. But it still trails behind others. The goal is 13% by 2028, while peers are aiming as high as 22%. The market isn’t sold. Andreas Thomae, strategist at Deka, one of the bank’s top 20 shareholders, isn’t celebrating. “The recent share price gains simply reflect the move from negligible earnings to average profitability,” he said . He also added that Deutsche “will never reach the profitability levels of BBVA or Santander,” because its investment bank eats up too much capital. Commerzbank, Deutsche’s German rival, saw its price-to-book ratio rise from 0.13 in 2020 to over 1.4 in 2025, helped by a potential acquisition bid from UniCredit. Meanwhile, Deutsche still lags on total returns, with its 10-year return trailing the Stoxx600 Banks index, BNP Paribas, and UniCredit. Over at DWS, its asset manager, things aren’t great either. Alternative investments aren’t pulling in profits. Low-fee passive products like ETFs are bringing in cash, but they’re not lifting margins. And while DWS is hunting for acquisitions, nothing’s happened yet. Want your project in front of crypto’s top minds? Feature it in our next industry report, where data meets impact.
