Investment products tied to crypto assets have witnessed their strongest inflow week to date, according to the latest report from CoinShares.

The European-based digital asset investment firm disclosed that institutional investors poured $4.39 billion into crypto-related investment vehicles last week, setting a new all-time record for weekly inflows. This figure surpasses the prior peak of $4.27 billion, recorded in December 2024, shortly after the U. election.

This influx marks the 14th consecutive week of positive flows, bringing the total year-to-date inflow to $27 billion. CoinShares’ head of research, James Butterfill, noted that assets under management (AuM) have now reached a record high of $220 billion.

The surge in interest reflects increasing institutional engagement across various regions, supported by the strong performance of exchange-traded products (ETPs), particularly in the US market.

Ethereum Surpasses Milestones Amid Record Demand

While Bitcoin remained dominant in terms of overall flows, Ethereum outpaced all digital assets by registering a record $2.12 billion in weekly inflows. This volume nearly doubles its previous high of $1.2 billion.

Over the past 13 weeks, cumulative inflows into Ethereum products have reached 23% of its total AuM. Inflows for 2025 have already exceeded last year’s full total of $6.2 billion.  This development suggests a rising investor preference for Ethereum.

Bitcoin attracted $2.2 billion during the same period, a decline from the $2.7 billion seen the previous week. Despite the decrease, Bitcoin ETP volumes remained robust, accounting for 55% of the asset’s total exchange trading volume.

CoinShares highlighted that total trading turnover in crypto ETPs globally hit an all-time high of $39.2 billion last week, indicating heightened market activity and liquidity across institutional venues.

US Dominates Regional Flows as Altcoins Attract New Capital

Regionally, the US remained the largest contributor, accounting for $4.36 billion of the total weekly inflows. Other markets including Switzerland ($47.3 million), Hong Kong ($14.1 million), and Australia ($17.3 million) also reported positive contributions.

Meanwhile, Brazil and Germany saw minor outflows of $28.1 million and $15.5 million, respectively, suggesting a more cautious investor sentiment in those regions.

Beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, several altcoins also recorded notable inflows. Solana brought in $39 million, XRP saw $36 million, and Sui attracted $9.3 million.

These figures reflect growing interest in broader market segments beyond the two largest assets. The continued growth of ETP products for a range of tokens suggests evolving investor strategies, including increased diversification and thematic exposure across the crypto sector.

The sustained momentum in fund flows, combined with new all-time highs in trading volumes and AuM, indicates that digital assets remain a strong focus among institutional investors heading into the second half of 2025.

With Ethereum inflows now outpacing even Bitcoin on a relative basis, investors might likely keep on eye on how this shift influences broader crypto market dynamics.
