Crypto funds post record $4.4B inflows as Ether ETPs break 2024 gains

Cryptocurrency investment products posted record-breaking inflows last week as they recorded gains for a 14th consecutive week.

Global crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) recorded $4.4 billion of inflows for the trading week that ended Friday, CoinShares reported on Monday.

The inflows came amid Bitcoin surging past $122,000 for the first time on July 14, then dropping to an intraweek low of about $116,000 before finishing the trading week at around $120,000,accordingto CoinGecko data.

With the fresh gains, the year-to-date (YTD) inflows in crypto ETPs climbed to a new high of $27 billion, while total assets under management (AUM) for the first time broke $220 billion.

Ether ETP inflows surpass 2024 totals

Ether ETPs set multiple records last week, with 2025 inflows surpassing 2024 totals at $6.2 billion, while weekly inflows hit double the previous record at $2.12 billion, CoinShares’ head of research James Butterfill wrote in the report.

The latest inflows came as ETH surged past $3,500 for the first time since early January. The highs followed several months of downward pressure that pushed ETH below $1,500 in April, according to CoinGecko.

“The past 13 weeks of inflows now represent 23% of Ethereum AUM,” Butterfill noted.

New Bitcoin highs don’t disrupt ETP inflows

Bitcoin ETP inflows remained resilient as BTC reached new all-time highs, contrasting with the slowdown seen in early July, a dip Butterfill attributed to growing caution as Bitcoin neared record levels.

According to the latest update, Bitcoin funds posted $2.2 billion of inflows last week, accounting for 50% of total crypto ETP inflows.

Solana , XRP and Suiwere notable for their inflows totaling $39 million, $36 million and $9.3 million, respectively.

US issuers see $200 million of outflows combined

Despite crypto ETPs seeing record-breaking inflows last week, some issuers recorded some minor outflows.

Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest recorded the largest losses among issuers, with total outflows reaching $120 million, CoinShares reported.

The ARK Next Generation Internet ETF contributed to the sell-off, offloading $8.7 million worth of its ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) last Tuesday.

Other US issuers, including Fidelity Investments and ProShares, experienced modest outflows of $49 million and $25 million, respectively.

European issuer CoinShares also saw minor outflows of $25 million, adding to last week’s $18 million in outflows.

  • US CPI rose 2.4% year-on-year in February; markets expect the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates in July.

     data released by the U.S. Department of Labor on the 11th showed that the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased by 2.4% year-on-year in February; excluding the more volatile food and energy prices, the core CPI rose by 2.5% year-on-year in February. Analysts pointed out that this data reflects the U.S. inflation situation before the outbreak of military conflict in the Middle East. Considering the recent surge in international oil prices and the ongoing blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the risk of a rebound in U.S. inflation pressure cannot be ruled out at present. Even though the recently released non-farm payroll data was significantly below expectations, the market still expects the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates again only in July this year.

  • Yi Lihua: I suggest CZ provide a better exit mechanism for crypto VCs; active capital is conducive to industry innovation.

    Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Yi Lihua stated that the biggest problem in the crypto industry in recent years is the decline in innovation. This problem stems from two aspects: first, the previous US government tightened crypto policies, which should be resolved with the passing of the crypto infrastructure bill this time. Second, Binance requires projects to implement a 1+3 year lock-up mechanism for crypto VCs. It is believed that Binance's original intention was good, aiming to cultivate long-term investment thinking. The consequence of this mechanism now is that project teams, market makers, and liquidity providers on trading platforms 'run' first, while VCs gradually lose everything during the long unlocking period. VCs already bear the greatest risk in the primary market but also have to bear the latest exit risk, which is obviously contrary to traditional investment markets. The result is the collective disappearance of crypto VCs, making it difficult for quality entrepreneurs to raise funds and reducing industry innovation. A suggestion to Binance founder CZ is to provide crypto VCs with a better exit mechanism to activate VC capital activity, which will be beneficial to industry innovation and also more favorable for trading platforms to list quality assets.
