Cryptocurrency investment products finished last week in positive territory, marking the 15th straight week of inflows—even as Bitcoin funds experienced slight outflows.
According to a Monday report from European digital asset manager CoinShares, global crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) attracted $1.9 billion in inflows during the trading week ending Friday.
These gains came despite increased market volatility, with Bitcoin dipping to as low as $115,000 by week’s end and Ether briefly falling below $3,600 on Thursday, as reported by CoinGecko.
The recent inflows pushed year-to-date (YTD) totals to a record $29.5 billion, while total assets under management (AUM) surpassed $221.4 billion for the first time. Month-to-date inflows also set a new record at $11.2 billion—eclipsing the previous high of $7.6 billion set in December 2024 following the U.S. election.
Ether ETPs Record Second-Highest Inflows Ever
Ether investment products led last week’s gains, drawing $1.59 billion in inflows—marking the second-largest weekly inflow on record for Ether ETPs, according to James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares.
Solana and XRP followed with notable inflows of $311.5 million and $189.6 million, respectively.
In contrast, Bitcoin ETPs saw modest outflows of $175 million, ending a 12-day streak of inflows on July 21.
According to James Butterfill, the contrasting flow patterns between Bitcoin and altcoins suggest that recent altcoin inflows may be fueled more by speculation around potential U.S. ETF launches than by a widespread altcoin rally.
“These altcoin inflows may be driven less by broad-based enthusiasm and more by anticipation surrounding potential US ETF launches,” Butterfill explained.
He also noted that not all altcoins benefited—ETPs for Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash saw modest outflows of $1.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively.
Weekly Inflows Plunge 57% Compared to Previous Week
Last week’s $1.9 billion in inflows represented a 57% drop from the previous week’s record-breaking $4.4 billion.
BlackRock’s iShares crypto ETFs remained the top contributors, bringing in $1.56 billion—though that figure was down nearly 64% from the prior week’s $4.3 billion.
Meanwhile, Fidelity Investments continued to see outflows, totaling $123 million. ARK Invest, led by Cathie Wood, saw a slowdown in outflows, decreasing from $120 million to $90 million.
European issuer 21Shares recorded the highest inflows among issuers after iShares, bringing in a modest $80 million, followed closely by Grayscale Investments with $78 million.
While Grayscale has now accumulated $356 million in inflows, its year-to-date (YTD) flows remain negative, with nearly $1.3 billion in outflows. In contrast, BlackRock’s YTD inflows have reached $25.8 billion—accounting for 87.5% of all crypto ETP inflows in 2025.
