Fineqia International Inc (CSE:FNQ) senior associate Matteo Greco talked with Proactive about how crypto exchange-traded products continued to attract strong institutional demand in 2025, even as digital asset prices declined.
Following the release of Fineqia’s December report on crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs), Greco explained that 2025 reinforced trends first seen in 2024, highlighting ETPs as an effective vehicle for traditional investors seeking exposure to digital assets. Despite a negative market trend in the second half of the year, total inflows were close to levels seen during the prior year, which had benefited from strong price action and the approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs in the US.
He noted that institutional interest broadened beyond Bitcoin during the year, with Ethereum ETPs recording disproportionately strong inflows relative to market capitalisation. Greco said this reflected a natural progression in investor behaviour, similar to patterns previously observed in the native crypto market. “It’s definitely positive because it shows that demand is not limited to Bitcoin, but it’s growing for the asset class in general on an institutional point of view,” he said.
The discussion also touched on fourth-quarter weakness, which Greco attributed to a mix of seasonal portfolio adjustments, profit-taking, and increased macroeconomic and geopolitical caution. Despite this, altcoin ETPs proved resilient, supported by new ETF launches in the US that generated fresh inflows.
Looking ahead, Greco suggested short-term ETP demand may remain sensitive to price action, but said longer-term sentiment remained constructive as issuers continue to expand product offerings across the US and Europe.
