Cryptocurrency Investment Products Record 15 Consecutive Weeks of Inflows

Cryptocurrency investment products ended last week in the green, marking 15 consecutive weeks of inflows, even as Bitcoin funds saw minor outflows.

Global crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) recorded $1.9 billion of inflows during the trading week ending Friday, according to a Monday report from European crypto asset manager CoinShares.

The latest inflows came despite heightened market volatility as Bitcoin tumbled to as low as $115,000 by the end of the week, while Ether briefly dropped below $3,600 on Thursday, according to CoinGecko.

The new gains brought the year-to-date (YTD) inflows to a new high of $29.5 billion, while total assets under management (AUM) for the first time reached $221.4 billion. Month-to-date inflows also set a record of $11.2 billion, surpassing the previous record of $7.6 billion seen in December 2024 following the US election.

Ether ETPs see second-largest inflows on record

The majority of last weeks gains were driven by Ether investment products, which saw $1.59 billion in inflows. According to CoinShares head of research, James Butterfill, the figure represents the second-largest weekly inflow ever recorded for Ether ETPs.

Solana and XRP followed Ether ETPs in recorded gains last week, with inflows totaling $311.5 million and $189.6 million, respectively.

On the other hand, Bitcoin ETPs saw minor outflows of $175 million as BTC investment products ended a 12-day inflow streak on July 21.

According to Butterfill, the divergence in the flows between Bitcoin and altcoins highlights potential anticipation of altcoin ETFs rather than a broader altcoin season.

These altcoin inflows may be driven less by broad-based enthusiasm and more by anticipation surrounding potential US ETF launches, Butterfill said.

He added that several altcoin ETPs saw minor outflows, including Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash , $1.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

Inflows drop 57% week-over-week

Last weeks $1.9 billion in inflows marked a 57% decline from the previous weeks $4.4 billion, the largest weekly inflows on record.

BlackRocks iShares crypto ETFs led last weeks gains with $1.56 billion inflows, down nearly 64% from the previous weeks $4.3 billion.

Fidelity Investments extended outflows to $123 million, while Cathie Woods ARK Invest slowed down outflows from $120 million to $90 million.

European issuer 21Shares saw the largest inflows among issuers after iShares, with modest inflows of $80 million. Grayscale Investments followed with $78 million in inflows.

Although Grayscale now sees $356 million in inflows, its YTD flows are red with nearly $1.3 billion of outflows. BlackRocks YTD inflows stand at $25.8 billion, or 87.5% of total inflows in crypto ETPs in 2025.
