Ethereum ETPs Surge with $793M Inflows, Outpacing Bitcoin

Table of Contents

Ethereum ETPs (exchange-traded products) have recorded their strongest week of inflows in 2025, surpassing Bitcoin for the first time this year.

According to CoinShares’ latest report, cryptocurrency ETPs have now seen five consecutive weeks of net inflows, totaling an impressive $1.3 billion. However, the most notable shift in market sentiment came from Ether (ETH) ETPs, which outperformed Bitcoin (BTC) ETPs with a staggering $793 million in inflowsâ€”a 95% increase over Bitcoin’s $407 million inflows.

Ethereum ETPs Gain Strength as ETH Price Dips

The sudden surge in Ethereum ETP investments coincided with ETH dropping below $2,700 on Feb. 6, leading to a strong “buying-on-weakness” trend among institutional investors, as highlighted by CoinShares research director James Butterfill. This marks the first time Ethereum ETPs have outperformed Bitcoin ETPs in 2025, echoing similar trends from late 2024.

While Bitcoin has maintained dominance in year-to-date (YTD) inflows, now standing at $6 billionâ€”505% higher than Ethereumâ€™s YTD inflowsâ€”the latest data suggests a growing investor appetite for Ethereum-based investment vehicles.

XRP and Solana ETPs See Notable Inflows

Beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, XRP and Solana ETPs also recorded significant weekly inflows.

XRP ETPs surged 45%, jumping from $14.5 million to $21 million in inflows.
Solana (SOL) ETPs posted a 148% increase week-over-week, attracting $11.2 million in inflows.

These trends indicate that investors are diversifying their crypto exposure beyond the two largest assets, likely in response to shifting market dynamics and institutional demand for alternative digital assets.

Crypto ETP AUM Drops Despite Consecutive Inflows

Despite the continued investment in cryptocurrency ETPs, the total assets under management (AUM) in crypto ETPs fell to $163 billion last week, representing a 4% decline from the previous week. This drop aligns with the broader market correction, which saw several leading cryptocurrencies pull back from recent highs.

The current AUM is also 11% lower than its all-time high of $181 billion, set in late January. According to Butterfill, the decline can be attributed to recent price drops across the crypto market, despite the continued influx of institutional capital into ETPs.
