₿ Crypto

European-listed cryptocurrency ETPs attracted approximately €30.6 million in net inflows. Bitcoin products led with €33.1 million, while Ether products gathered €7.1 million. Blockchain-focused investment strategies also gained 4.76% during the week.

The regulatory environment remains equally important. On July 24, ESMA updated its MiCA register, which includes authorised crypto providers, token documentation and entities identified as non-compliant.

🏢 Romanian Real Estate

Romanian real estate investment reached €253 million during the first half of 2026, although this represented a 35% decrease compared with the same period in 2025.

Retail dominated the second quarter, attracting approximately €81 million, or around 80% of the total Q2 investment volume. Romania’s modern retail stock also reached 4.859 million square metres, with 84,000 square metres delivered during the first half of the year.

📈 European and Romanian Stocks

European shares experienced a volatile week as investors reacted to rising oil prices, geopolitical tension and mixed corporate earnings. Markets recovered partially on Friday when oil fell back below $100 per barrel, with the STOXX Europe 600 gaining around 0.5% during that session.

Romania performed more strongly. The BET index rose from 34,871 points on July 17 to 35,937 points on July 24, representing a weekly increase of approximately 3.1%.

💼 European ETFs

European-listed equity ETFs attracted €7.02 billion, while fixed-income ETFs added €1.10 billion. Europe-focused equity products received approximately €250.8 million in new capital.

Romania-focused market exposure gained approximately 4%, while the Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF recorded the largest individual inflow of the week at €718.7 million.

🔍 The takeaway

Romania stood out as one of Europe’s stronger-performing markets, while retail property continued to attract significant investment. Across Europe, investors showed continued appetite for diversified ETFs, Bitcoin products and blockchain-related strategies—but geopolitical and energy-market risks remain important.
