Crypto Exchange-Traded Products Experience Significant Inflows
Last week, crypto-focused exchange-traded products (ETPs) saw a substantial increase, with $1.9 billion in inflows. This surge marks the second-largest weekly inflow of 2025, bringing the total inflows for the year to $4.8 billion, as reported by CoinShares.
Reason Behind the Uptick
James Butterfill, CoinShares’ head of research, noted that the recent executive order issued by President Donald Trump has sparked renewed interest in the US crypto market. The directive outlines plans for a federal working group to explore strategic digital asset frameworks and proposes the creation of a “strategic national digital assets stockpile,” while halting further development of central bank digital currency (CBDC) initiatives.
Bitcoin Dominates Inflows
Despite the shift towards a mixed digital asset stockpile, Bitcoin led last week’s inflows with $1.6 billion, bringing its year-to-date total to $4.4 billion. This accounts for 92% of all crypto investment inflows in 2025.
- Bitcoin trading volumes remained strong at $25 billion, representing 37% of activity on trusted crypto exchanges.
- BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) contributed $1.45 billion to the inflows, followed by Fidelity and Ark 21Shares with $202 million and $173 million, respectively.
- Grayscale’s offerings reported $124 million in outflows last week, totaling $392 million for the year.
- Short-Bitcoin products also gained traction, with $5.1 million in inflows attributed to Bitcoin’s recent price movements.
Surge in Ethereum and Altcoins
Ethereum experienced a resurgence, attracting $205 million in new investments last week, marking a significant turnaround from earlier outflows. Total inflows for Ethereum in 2025 now stand at $177 million.
XRP saw $18.5 million in inflows, driven by optimism surrounding ETF filings in the US, bringing its total inflows to $90 million this year.
Smaller altcoins like Solana, Chainlink, and Polkadot also saw modest inflows of $6.9 million, $6.6 million, and $2.6 million, respectively.
Conclusion
The recent surge in inflows to crypto ETPs, led by Bitcoin, reflects the growing interest and investment in digital assets. With regulatory developments and market dynamics shaping the industry, the future of cryptocurrency investments remains dynamic and promising.
