Digital asset ETPs log third straight week of inflows as US institutions drive demand

Digital asset exchange-traded products (ETPs) are back in favor, with a third consecutive week of net inflows led by strong institutional interest from the United States. This renewed appetite is boosting Bitcoin, Ether, and a handful of major altcoins, and is being closely tracked across crypto news outlets and by the crypto pur community, watching how blockchain technology is being adopted through regulated products.

US-led inflows push weekly total near $900M

According to the latest fund-flow data from CoinShares, crypto ETPs attracted roughly 864 million dollars in net inflows over the past week. The United States dominated the regional breakdown with about 796 million dollars, while Germany and Canada added approximately 68.6 million and 26.8 million dollars, respectively. Together, these three markets now represent nearly all year‑to‑date inflows into digital asset investment vehicles, underscoring how heavily institutional adoption is concentrated in a few key jurisdictions.

Not every region joined the risk-on mood; Switzerland-listed products saw around 41.4 million dollars in weekly outflows, even though Swiss vehicles still hold more than 600 million dollars in net inflows for the year. Overall, however, this marks the third straight week of positive flows following roughly 716 million dollars the previous week and 1 billion dollars the week before, signaling a sustained shift back into crypto exposure after earlier volatility.

Bitcoin and Ether dominate, as Solana and XRP gain traction

Bitcoin ETPs led the pack with about 522 million dollars in new capital, while inverse or short‑Bitcoin products recorded approximately 1.8 million dollars in outflows. That rotation out of bearish vehicles suggests sentiment is slowly recovering and more investors are positioning for upside rather than further declines.

Ether products were close behind, pulling in about 338 million dollars on the week and lifting their year‑to‑date tally to roughly 13.3 billion dollars an increase of nearly 150% from 2024 levels. Among altcoins, Solana  ETPs attracted around 65 million dollars, bringing their 2025 inflows to approximately 3.46 billion dollars, more than ten times last year’s figure. XRP  products added roughly 46.9 million dollars and now sit on about 3.18 billion dollars of cumulative inflows for the year.

Smaller-cap names saw a mixed picture. Aave and Chainlink  ETPs captured around 5.9 million and 4.1 million dollars in inflows, respectively, while Hyperliquid-linked products registered net outflows of about 14.1 million dollars over the same period. This divergence highlights how capital is increasingly concentrating in a core set of higher‑conviction assets even as broader altcoin markets remain more volatile.

Assets under management and multi-asset trends

By assets under management (AUM), Bitcoin ETPs still dominate the landscape with roughly 141.8 billion dollars, followed by Ether products at about 26 billion dollars. Despite strong flows into single‑asset vehicles, multi‑asset crypto ETPs funds that hold baskets of different coins saw around 104.9 million dollars in weekly outflows, extending year‑to‑date redemptions to roughly 69.5 million dollars. That’s in spite of these products still overseeing about 6.8 billion dollars in AUM, suggesting that many investors prefer to express their views through targeted exposure to specific blockchains rather than broad indexes.

Year‑to‑date, Bitcoin has attracted almost 27.7 billion dollars of net inflows, an impressive figure, though still below the 41 billion dollars that poured in during 2024. For crypto pur followers, this indicates that while the current cycle remains strong, there is still room for flows to catch up to the previous year’s peak if macro conditions and sentiment continue improving.

Equity ETPs tied to blockchain technology show mixed flows

Funds that invest in listed companies building or benefiting from blockchain technology also experienced varied flows. VanEck’s Digital Transformation fund led equity‑linked vehicles with about 45.8 million dollars in weekly inflows, followed by VanEck Crypto and Blockchain at roughly 20.5 million dollars and Schwab’s Crypto Thematic ETF  at around 7.2 million dollars.

In contrast, products like Invesco CoinShares’ Global Blockchain and Bitwise Crypto Industry Innovators saw modest redemptions, reflecting a more selective approach among investors when it comes to equity-based exposure. Many appear to be favoring direct asset ETPs and a small group of high‑conviction thematic funds rather than spreading capital broadly across all crypto‑adjacent stocks.

What this means for crypto news, blockchain technology, and crypto pur investors

For the broader market, three consecutive weeks of inflows into digital asset ETPs signal that institutions and sophisticated investors are once again adding exposure through regulated, liquid wrappers. Key takeaways for crypto pur participants and blockchain technology watchers include:

• Risk appetite is returning: Net inflows into BTC and ETH, combined with outflows from short‑Bitcoin products, point to a cautiously bullish stance.
• Concentration in leaders: Capital is clustering around marquee assets like Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, and XRP, while multi‑asset baskets and some smaller names lag.
• Bridging TradFi and crypto: Growing AUM and flow momentum in ETPs and related equity funds show that traditional financial rails remain a primary gateway into crypto exposure.

If these trends persist, digital asset ETPs will continue to serve as a critical bridge between traditional portfolios and onchain markets, reinforcing crypto’s role in diversified investment strategies while deepening institutional engagement with blockchain technology.
