Crypto Funds Flood $4.4B as Ether ETPs Smash Records

Crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) rallied strongly last week, attracting a record $4.4 billion in inflows, marking the 14th straight week of gains for the sector. This surge pushed the total assets under management (AUM) past a historic $220 billion, underscoring a powerful growth phase for cryptocurrency investments globally.

Bitcoin briefly soared beyond $122,000 midweek before easing to close near $120,000, reinforcing its dominance while driving investor enthusiasm. This dynamic market backdrop helped crypto ETPs reach year-to-date inflows totaling an unprecedented $27 billion, setting new performance standards for 2025.

Ether ETPs Outpace 2024 — Setting New Benchmarks

Ethereum-based products eclipsed expectations, with total inflows for 2025 already exceeding last year’s full-year $6.2 billion at a fresh $6.2 billion mark. The past week alone registered $2.12 billion inflows, more than double any previous record in the sector, signaling fierce investor confidence. Ethereum prices broke above $3,500 for the first time since early January, rebounding sharply from a low near $1,500 in April.

These inflows represent about 23% of Ethereum’s total AUM, a striking indicator of intense capital rotation toward ETH assets. Such momentum reflects a broader sentiment shift as investors expand beyond Bitcoin to capitalize on Ethereum’s evolving ecosystem and growing DeFi activity.

Bitcoin Resilience Amid Ether’s Ascendancy

Bitcoin ETPs maintained robust demand, accounting for approximately half of all crypto inflows last week with $2.2 billion entering Bitcoin-linked products. This resilience helped stabilize the market even as some altcoins experienced minor fluctuations.

While Ether’s explosion grabbed headlines, Bitcoin’s strategic role remains strong. It commanded 84% of the crypto ETP inflows during the first half of 2025, supporting its leadership in institutional portfolios.

Minor outflows affected certain U.S.-based issuers but overall liquidity and investment appetite in crypto markets remain vigorous. Leading funds like BlackRock’s iShares and Fidelity attracted billions, signaling sustained confidence from established financial institutions.
