Crypto fund managers have recorded a new all-time high of $4.39 billion in weekly inflows into investment products
Ethereum products have outpaced all 2024 inflows in a single week, bringing in $2.12 billion
U.S. investors have contributed the vast majority of inflows, pushing total assets under management to $220 billion
Digital asset funds have seen their strongest week on record, with $4.39 billion pouring in from institutional and retail investors. The rally has pushed assets under management to an all-time high of $220 billion, with Ethereum stealing the spotlight by drawing $2.12 billion in just seven days. The inflows were overwhelmingly led by U.S. investors, who accounted for nearly the entire amount, with the record surpassing that set in the week after the U.S. election last year.
Record-Breaking Inflows and Surging Interest
According to CoinShares , last week’s inflows surpassed the previous record of $4.27 billion set in November, capping off a 14-week streak of net positives for crypto funds:
The total for 2025 has now reached $27 billion, while trading turnover in crypto exchange-traded products jumped to $39.2 billion, an increase of 80% compared to the prior week. The activity has been especially intense around Bitcoin and Ethereum, which continue to dominate institutional interest.
Ethereum Takes Center Stage
Ethereum-focused funds saw inflows of $2.12 billion, nearly doubling their previous weekly high and marking the largest single-week gain ever for the asset. CoinShares highlighted that 23% of Ethereum’s total assets under management have flowed in over the past 13 weeks, and with cumulative inflows for 2025 now exceeding all of 2024’s $2.6 billion total, it seems that the second-biggest cryptocurrency is gaining serious traction among institutional players, possibly driven by growing excitement around tokenization and ETF approvals.
Bitcoin products also held strong, bringing in $2.2 billion despite a slight dip from the previous week’s $2.7 billion, while alternative assets like Solana, XRP, and Sui saw more modest, but still notable, inflows of $39 million, $36 million, and $9.3 million, respectively, indicating that interest in altcoins remains healthy.
Unsurprisingly, U.S.-based investors accounted for nearly the entire $4.36 billion inflow, underscoring the country’s growing appetite for regulated digital asset exposure. Other regions contributed smaller sums, with Switzerland adding $47.3 million, Hong Kong $14.1 million, and Australia $17.3 million.
The massive surge in inflows appears to be fueled by easing macroeconomic conditions, rising regulatory clarity, and renewed institutional confidence in crypto markets. While Ethereum has clearly become the focal point, the broader increase in trading volumes and diversification into altcoins hints at a maturing market. Still, with valuations climbing fast, some analysts caution that a pullback could be just as sharp if sentiment shifts.
