The global crypto market has witnessed a slight cooling in institutional appetite as crypto ETP (Exchange-Traded Product) inflows reached $17.8 billion in the first half of 2025 — a modest 2.7% decline from H1 2024. While this dip signals a minor retreat in overall investor enthusiasm, Bitcoin continues to dominate, capturing over 68% of all inflows, showcasing its position as the primary gateway for institutional capital.
Analysts believe the slight downturn is partly due to macroeconomic uncertainty, post-halving consolidation, and stricter regulatory scrutiny in key markets. Despite this, Bitcoin ETPs remain resilient, with inflows staying strong especially in U.S. and European markets, suggesting sustained long-term confidence in BTC as a store of value.
Meanwhile, Ethereum and other altcoin-based ETPs saw mixed performance, reflecting investor caution amid high volatility and fragmented DeFi sector growth.
This slight drop doesn’t reflect a bearish outlook — rather, it shows a maturing investor base making more calculated moves. As we move into H2 2025, many experts anticipate renewed inflows with the expected recovery in crypto valuations and potential rate cuts.$BTC
