TL;DR
- Crypto funds saw a record $4.39 billion in inflows last week, 14 consecutive weeks of net positive flows, lifting total AUM to an all-time $220 billion on booming ETP demand.
- Ethereum led the charge with $2.12 billion of weekly inflows (23 percent of its ETP assets), outpacing its entire 2024 intake in just seven months, fueled by staking yields, RWA tokenization, and Layer-2 rollouts.
- Bitcoin ETPs attracted $2.2 billion while altcoins like Solana ($39 million), XRP ($36 million), and Sui ($9.3 million) also enjoyed strong inflows amid broadening institutional appetite and looming ETF catalysts.
Digital asset investment products exploded with a historic $4.39 billion in net inflows last week, smashing the previous high set in December 2024. This marks the 14th consecutive week of positive flows, propelling year-to-date totals to $27 billion and lifting assets under management to an all-time high of $220 billion. The frenzy was driven by institutional and retail demand for regulated Ethereum ETPs, with trading turnover surging past $39.2 billion globally.
Crypto Funds Surge to New Heights
The past week’s inflow tally eclipsed every prior record, fueled by an 800 basis-point jump from late-2024 levels. Managed products absorbed fresh capital across regions, with the United States accounting for a staggering $4.36 billion of the total. Switzerland, Hong Kong, and Australia chipped in smaller but meaningful sums, while only Brazil and Germany saw modest outflows.
This flow consistency over 14 straight weeks underscores a structural shift: crypto is no longer a fringe bet but a mainstream allocation in institutional portfolios.
Ethereum Dominates the Flow Race
Ethereum stole the spotlight with a staggering $2.12 billion in weekly inflows. These flows represent roughly 23% of Ethereum’s total ETP assets, and with $6.2 billion already amassed in 2025, Ethereum vehicles have out-funded their entire 2024 intake in just seven months. Demand is underpinned by optimism around staking yield, real-world asset tokenization, and upcoming Layer-2 rollouts that promise to deepen DeFi activity.
Bitcoin and Altcoins Keep Pace
Bitcoin ETPs attracted $2.2 billion, maintaining their stature as a cornerstone of institutional crypto allocations even as inflows slightly trailed the prior week’s $2.7 billion peak. Altcoins attracted significant attention: Solana received $39 million, XRP got $36 million, and Sui earned $9.3 million. These diversifications reflect maturing investor appetite, as portfolios broaden beyond the two largest tokens into high-growth layer-1 ecosystems.
Institutional Appetite and Market Outlook
With traditional funds and hedge vehicles piling into crypto, the record inflows suggest the next leg of growth could come from further ETF approvals and broader corporate treasury adoption. Analysts point to potential catalysts like new spot Ethereum products and evolving regulations in Europe and Asia.
