Crypto funds posted a new milestone last week as global exchange-traded products saw $4.4 billion in total inflows. The inflows marked the 14th straight week of gains, propelling total assets under management to over $220 billion. This surge followed a volatile but upward-trending performance from leading cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ether.
Bitcoin Drives Half of Weekly Inflows as Price Hits All-Time High
Bitcoin funds contributed $2.2 billion, accounting for 50% of last week’s total crypto funds inflows, according to CoinShares. BTC surged past $122,000 on July 14 before retreating to a weekly close of around $120,000. Despite the price swing, Bitcoin maintained strong investor support and hit new record highs.
In early July, inflows slowed temporarily, but last week showed renewed momentum in Bitcoin-linked products. Strong investor interest returned as BTC broke above previous resistance levels, drawing institutional capital. This consistent activity pushed Bitcoin’s year-to-date inflows to a significant portion of the $27 billion recorded in 2025.
The continued demand for Bitcoin products contrasts with early July’s hesitation when BTC hovered near historical peaks. CoinShares attributed the shift to BTC reaching new records that encouraged additional inflows. This momentum supported Bitcoin’s position as the leading digital asset by market value.
Ether ETPs Break 2024 Record with $2.12B Weekly Inflows
Ether ETPs saw an unprecedented week, contributing $2.12 billion in inflows—double their previous record. This surge pushed 2025 inflows to $6.2 billion, surpassing 2024’s full-year total. ETH rallied past $3,500, marking its highest level since January.
Ether’s growth followed months of subdued performance that had previously driven the price below $1,500. Renewed confidence in Ethereum’s outlook helped reverse the trend, fueling demand for Ether-linked ETPs. These gains represented 23% of total Ethereum assets under management.
Institutional interest intensified following the price recovery, supporting ETP growth and lifting investor exposure. The spike also highlighted Ether’s renewed strength in the market. As ETH regained momentum, crypto funds gained traction across diversified portfolios.
Crypto Funds Attract Capital Despite Mixed Outflows from Key Issuers
Crypto funds posted record inflows despite $200 million in outflows from several major issuers, including ARK Invest and Fidelity. ARK led the losses, pulling $120 million, including $8.7 million from its Bitcoin ETF on Tuesday. Fidelity and ProShares followed, withdrawing $49 million and $25 million, respectively.
CoinShares, despite reporting net inflows, recorded $25 million in outflows last week, adding to a previous $18 million reduction. These mixed movements reflected rebalancing across some U.S. and European fund managers. However, the overall direction of capital remained strongly positive.
Solana, XRP, and Sui funds added $39 million, $36 million, and $9.3 million respectively, supporting crypto funds diversification. Their individual contributions, while smaller, helped expand overall ETP inflows.
