Digital asset investment products continued to see strong investor interest last week, recording their 15th consecutive week of inflows—even as Bitcoin saw a slight pullback.
According to a Monday update from European digital asset manager CoinShares, cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs) pulled in $1.9 billion during the week ending July 25. This came despite sharp market swings, with Bitcoin dropping to $115,000 and Ether briefly slipping under $3,600, based on CoinGecko data.
These new inflows pushed the year-to-date (YTD) total to $29.5 billion, a fresh record. Assets under management (AUM) in crypto ETPs also hit an all-time high of $221.4 billion. Notably, July has already broken records for monthly inflows, reaching $11.2 billion—well above the $7.6 billion seen in December 2024 following the U.S. elections.
Ether Products Lead the Surge
Ether-focused ETPs dominated the inflow charts last week, attracting $1.59 billion—the second-largest weekly total on record for ETH products, according to CoinShares’ head of research James Butterfill.
Trailing Ether were Solana and XRP investment vehicles, which saw inflows of $311.5 million and $189.6 million, respectively.
Bitcoin products, on the other hand, experienced a modest reversal, with $175 million in outflows. This ended a 12-day positive streak for BTC funds as of July 21.
Butterfill noted that the differing trends between Bitcoin and altcoins could suggest investors are positioning themselves for potential altcoin ETF launches, rather than signaling a full-fledged altcoin rally.
“This recent interest in altcoins may have more to do with speculation around upcoming ETF approvals than broad investor sentiment,” Butterfill explained.
Still, not all altcoins saw positive movement—ETPs for Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash recorded outflows of $1.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively.
Weekly Inflows Fall from Record High
While inflows were solid, they did represent a sharp 57% drop from the previous week’s record-setting $4.4 billion.
BlackRock’s iShares crypto ETFs led the pack with $1.56 billion in new investments—still impressive but down 64% from the prior week’s $4.3 billion.
Fidelity’s crypto products extended their outflows to $123 million, while ARK Invest (led by Cathie Wood) trimmed its weekly outflows from $120 million to $90 million.
Among European issuers, 21Shares saw the strongest performance after iShares, pulling in $80 million. Grayscale followed with $78 million in inflows.
Despite some positive momentum, Grayscale’s year-to-date net flows remain negative, with outflows totaling nearly $1.3 billion. In contrast, BlackRock’s inflows now stand at $25.8 billion in 2025—accounting for an overwhelming 87.5% of all crypto ETP inflows this year.
