Crypto Investment Products continued its momentum last week, recording an influx of $1.04 billion, according to the latest Coinshares report.
This marked a positive inflow for 12 consecutive weeks, pushing the previous year’s total to $18 billion.
Surges have increased weekly volumes to $16.3 billion, accompanied by an increase in trading activity. As a result, broader market optimism helped raise the total assets under management (AUM) across cryptocurrency funds to an all-time high of $188 billion.
Bitcoin controls, but Ethereum shows strength
Bitcoin continued to be the biggest option for facility investors last week, attracting $790 million with new capital. However, this figure reflects a slight slowdown compared to the $1.5 billion average over the past three weeks.
James Butterfill, head of research at Coinshares, said as Bitcoin approaches ATH, momentum flooding could indicate attention. The short Bitcoin product has recorded an influx of $400,000, suggesting that bearish sentiment among several investors is hoping for a correction.
Ethereum continued its quiet rise, marking its 11th consecutive week of influx. Last week, the network raised $226 million, bringing its annual total to over $3 billion.
Butterfill says that Ethereum products currently have an average inflow of AUM total of 1.6%. This is twice as many bitcoin as of the same period.
This shift in investors’ sentiment for Ethereum is notable, especially as Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hogan predicts that the US-based Ethereum fund could see an inflow of up to $10 billion in the second half of 2025.
He cited the usefulness of Ethereum in tokenizing real-world assets from stocks to Stablecoins as a key growth driver for Crypto.
Aside from Bitcoin and Ethereum, other Altcoin-related products have also attracted new interest. Last week, the investment fund related to Solana won $10.6 million, XRP products added $21.6 million, and SUI recorded an inflow of $1.6 million. Together, these three assets linked crypto investment products have brought over $500 million in new capital this year.
Regionally, the weekly inflows under the US dominated $1 billion, with Germany and Switzerland winning $38.5 million and $33.7 million, respectively.
In contrast, Canada and Brazil have seen $29.3 million and $9.7 million outflows, reflecting the weak sentiment in these markets.
