[BlockBeats] Last week, the crypto market attracted another wave of real money—digital asset investment products saw a net inflow of $716 million in a single week, with total assets under management climbing to $180 billion. But don’t celebrate just yet; this figure is still far from the all-time high of $264 billion, so the market is clearly not back to its craziest days.

The allocation of funds is quite interesting: Bitcoin remains the king of inflows, grabbing $352 million, but XRP suddenly surged and took in $245 million, and Chainlink was even more impressive—with a weekly inflow of $52.8 million, directly setting a new record. This amount accounts for 54% of its total assets under management, showing just how concentrated this round of hot money is. Even more interesting, products shorting Bitcoin saw large-scale fund outflows, indicating that the bears are starting to back down and market panic is noticeably cooling off.

Regionally, inflows are happening almost everywhere. The US is far ahead with $483 million, followed by Germany and Canada, contributing $96.9 million and $80.7 million respectively. It seems that no matter how much traditional finance talks down the market, the real players are quietly increasing their positions.

XRP-2,47%

LINK0,72%

BTC-0,5%

XRP this wave really took off, a few days ago it was still gathering dust, now I smell the aroma again. The short-sellers really ran away; it seems Bitcoin still has to pass this hurdle. That 54% in Chainlink feels a bit crazy; how long this hot money can last is uncertain. Not yet two-thirds of the historical high; still a bit short. The Americans are still the main players; this pattern hasn't changed.

XRP's wave is really fierce, from sleeping to suddenly absorbing 245 million gold, this rhythm is a bit amazing I knew when Chainlink set a new record, and this rotation had just begun Short selling product funds withdrawn? Haha, it's true that the bears admit it 180 billion is still so far away, we are still early from mad cows Chainlink accounts for 54%? It's a bit scary to have such a high concentration of hot money Bitcoin absorbed 352 million yuan or the status of the big brother was stable The United States monopolizes 4.83 in the world, and this pattern has indeed changed I didn't expect XRP to steal the show, this coin really chooses the time The market panic has cooled down, but I should be cautious and don't be fooled by the rebound Chainlink's data is outrageous, with 52.8 million directly breaking records

I really didn't expect XRP to suddenly break out like this, it feels like it's about to take off. The short sellers have admitted defeat, haha, that's the market for you. Chainlink's 54% concentration... that's some intense buying pressure. Still far from 264 billion, but let's take it slow. Hot money is piling into small tokens, you have to be careful in this kind of market.

This XRP pump came a bit out of nowhere. Feels like those who got burned before are getting restless again. Did all the Bitcoin shorters run away? That’s definitely a signal. Chainlink’s 54% inflow share is kind of insane. Feels like it’s about to get hyped up again. Bitcoin is still the most stable—everything else is just supporting cast. Back when it was 264 billion, that was real madness. Now it’s only 180 billion. It’s true that this wave of capital is spreading worldwide, but I’m just worried it’ll be short-lived. I’m bullish on XRP. It’s bound to have its moment in the spotlight.

XRP's sudden surge is a bit wild, feels like someone is secretly pumping the price. Are the short sellers really starting to chicken out? We're nowhere near the end yet, it's still early. Chainlink has a 54% inflow share... this hot money is way too concentrated, be careful not to be the bag holder. Still a long way from 264 billion, this rebound is probably it for now. The bears are collectively surrendering, there really is a strong bottom signal.

XRP is really making a move this time, it's finally its turn to shine. --- Chainlink breaking records? Liquidity is so concentrated, it's a bit risky. --- People shorting Bitcoin are backing down, this signal is interesting. --- 180 billion is still far from 264 billion, don't celebrate too soon. --- The US dominates with 483 million, that hasn't changed. --- So much hot money pouring into XRP and LINK, feels a bit like hype. --- Is panic cooling off? Still feels a bit shaky. --- Absorbing 716 million isn't much, the real madness was during historical peaks. --- Bitcoin is still the king of capital inflow, but XRP took a bite out of it—interesting.

XRP is on the rise this round, and Chainlink isn't sitting still either. Now it's time for altcoins to siphon off liquidity. All the short sellers have run away—what kind of signal is this... 716 million isn't even enough for beer money, just wait for that wave back to 26.4 billion. All the hot money is piling into Chainlink, no matter how you look at it, it seems a bit risky.

XRP's recent move is impressive—a sudden influx of 245 million, feels like it's about to take off. Chainlink's data is insane, 54% of AUM came in just this week—the hype is a bit crazy. A massive pullout of funds shorting Bitcoin shows the bears have really surrendered. Anyone still daring to short now must be really bold. We're just over $100 billion away from the all-time high, let's take it slow, no rush. The US is eating the meat the best—no wonder the whole world is following suit. This wave really feels different, and it's a good thing that the panic is cooling down.

This XRP surge is really fierce, 245 million just poured in, that's interesting. All the short sellers have run away, this is the real signal, right? Chainlink has a 54% inflow ratio... that's insane. Still a long way from 264 billion, the bear market isn't over yet. The bears admitting defeat is definitely a turning point, just watching.
