Crypto ETPs Post a Third Straight Week of Net Inflows, Led by the US

Summarize this article with:

For the third consecutive week, crypto ETPs have attracted new capital, according to CoinShares. Last week, net inflows accelerated further, extending an already strong sequence after the previous two weeks. In detail, the momentum is mainly American. The United States accounts for the majority of purchases, far ahead of Germany and Canada, while Switzerland stands out against the trend with net outflows during the period.

Uncle Sam triumphantly raises a digital eagle-shaped wallet overflowing with crypto, in a futuristic trading room bathed in orange light, with a screen displaying "+3" and traders in the background.

In brief

  • Crypto ETPs recorded about $864M in net inflows, confirming a positive momentum after two already very strong weeks.
  • $796M comes from the US market, ahead of Germany and Canada, while Switzerland shows weekly outflows.
  • BTC (+$522M) and ETH (+$338M) lead allocations, with outflows on short BTC products, indicating a less defensive sentiment; Solana and XRP follow behind.

The United States Set the Pace for Global Crypto Flows

The crypto ETP market continues a third week of net inflows. According to CoinShares, about $864 million entered last week, after $716 million the previous week and $1 billion the week before that.

This capital movement is not homogeneous. It is very concentrated. Of the $864 million weekly inflows, nearly $796 million come from the United States. In other words, Wall Street leads once again. Germany and Canada complete the podium, but at some distance.

This geographical imbalance reflects the depth of the US crypto ETF market. Moreover, it indicates the persistent appetite of North American investors for regulated exposure to digital assets. Since the beginning of the year, these three countries account for nearly 98.6% of cumulative flows. Indeed, this figure says a lot about the centralization of institutional capital.

Conversely, Switzerland is an exception. Crypto ETPs listed on its territory recorded $41.4 million in weekly outflows, despite a positive balance since the start of the year.

Bitcoin and Ether Resume Their Role as Pillars

Unsurprisingly, Bitcoin and Ether absorb the bulk of the new capital. Bitcoin alone captures $522 million over the week, while short BTC products register net outflows. A revealing detail. When bearish products empty out, it is no coincidence. CoinShares sees a clear sign of sentiment recovery, and it’s hard to disagree.

Since January, Bitcoin has attracted $27.7 billion, an impressive figure, although still below that of 2024. Ether, on the other hand, shows even stronger momentum. It recorded weekly inflows of $338 million, for a yearly total of $13.3 billion, a 148% year-over-year increase.

Behind the BTC–ETH duo, some altcoins are standing out. Solana records $65 million in inflows over the week, with annual total multiplied by ten. XRP is not far behind, attracting $46.9 million despite persistent price volatility.

Conversely, smaller cap cryptos show mixed performances. Aave and Chainlink manage to attract modest flows, while products related to hyperliquidity suffer net outflows. Finally, multi-asset crypto ETPs continue to lose ground. Weekly outflows exceed $100 million, confirming a growing disinterest in overly diluted strategies.
