Crypto Investment Products See $1B Weekly Inflows as Ethereum Gains Momentum

Crypto ETP Inflows Surpass $1 Billion Amid Shifting Market Sentiment

Cryptocurrency investment products continued their bullish streak last week, attracting $1.03 billion in inflows, according to the latest data from CoinShares. Despite ongoing market volatility, investor appetite for digital asset exchange-traded products (ETPs) remains strong, pushing total year-to-date (YTD) inflows to nearly $19 billion—a record-breaking milestone.

The influx has propelled assets under management (AUM) in crypto ETPs to $188 billion, up from $184.4 billion the previous week.

Bitcoin Still Leads, But Momentum Slows

Bitcoin (BTC)-based ETPs dominated the inflow chart once again, pulling in $790 million, which accounted for 76% of all crypto ETP inflows last week. However, this represents a notable decline from the previous three-week average of $1.5 billion, signaling a more cautious stance among investors.

“The moderation in inflows suggests that investors are becoming more cautious as Bitcoin approaches its all-time high price levels,” said James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares.

Ethereum Shows Growing Investor Confidence

While Bitcoin remains the frontrunner, Ethereum (ETH) is quickly gaining traction among institutional investors. Ether-based ETPs saw $225 million in inflows, marking the 11th consecutive week of net positive movement.

Butterfill noted that Ethereum inflows, on a proportional basis, have averaged 1.6% of AUM during this period—double Bitcoin’s 0.8%.

“There has been a notable shift in investor sentiment in favour of Ethereum,” Butterfill added.

BlackRock Leads Fund Issuers in Inflows

The surge in capital was heavily driven by BlackRock’s crypto funds, which attracted $436 million—roughly 42% of all inflows last week. The firm’s continued success highlights the growing institutional acceptance of crypto investment products.

Conclusion: Crypto ETPs Signal Strong Institutional Interest

Despite a slight slowdown in Bitcoin ETP inflows, the crypto investment landscape remains robust. Ethereum's rising appeal, combined with the sustained growth of AUM and record inflows, reflects a maturing market with diversified interest. As major asset managers like BlackRock deepen their presence, crypto ETPs appear to be carving out a stable position in the broader financial ecosystem.
