ETFs and other crypto-related investment vehicles are seeing record inflows globally, fueled primarily by the US market.
Wall Street continues to demonstrate strong interest in the crypto world. This is demonstrated by the volume of capital inflows into crypto-related investment vehicles and funds, which in one week reached a record $4.39 billion.
Total assets under management, AUM, amount to $220 billion.
Ethereum investment products alone have totaled $2.12 billion, a peak reached during a 14-week bull run.
Record inflows into investment products linked to digital assets
Digital asset investment products hit a weekly high with inflows of $4.39 billion. This surpasses the previous record of $4.27 billion set after the US elections last December. Total assets under management now stand at $220 billion, according to CoinShares.

For fourteen consecutive weeks, vehicles have seen steady inflows, bringing the year-to-date total to $27 billion. Meanwhile, institutional interest continues to focus on Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Institutional investors like cryptocurrencies
Weekly trading volume for exchange-traded products (ETFs) and ETPs reached record levels. A total of $39.2 billion in assets were traded, with the largest volumes being seen in major cryptocurrencies.
Ethereum took center stage with record inflows of $2.12 billion, nearly double the previous high of $1.2 billion. Total inflows for 2025 now stand at $6.2 billion , already surpassing the total inflows for 2024.
Over the last 13 weeks, inflows represent 23% of total assets under management for Ethereum.
Bitcoin attracted inflows of $2.2 billion, down from $2.7 billion last week. ETP trading volume accounted for 55% of total Bitcoin trading volume.
Most of the capital came from the United States, with inflows of $4.36 billion. Switzerland, Hong Kong, and Australia followed, but with more modest amounts.

The massive influx of capital coincides with Trump signing the GENIUS Act and sharing the video "the best Bitcoin explanation ever." These two events have created the ideal conditions to spur continued institutional adoption.
Over 273 companies now hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets, double the number from 124 at the beginning of June.
Ethereum Sets New Records as Institutional Interest Grows
Ethereum data also broke previous records. Weekly inflows amounted to $2.12 billion, while total assets under management (AUM) compared to Ethereum inflows over the past 13 weeks increased by 23%.

This figure is especially impressive when compared to its BTC counterpart. Over the same period, BTC's inflows/AUM ratio was 9.8%.

Spot Ethereum ETFs saw weekly net inflows of $2.18 billion from July 14 to 18, marking a new all-time high and eight consecutive days of positive inflows.
BlackRock's spot ETF, ETHA, leads the rankings and attracts institutional demand. Products from Fidelity and Grayscale also performed well, contributing to growth.
Institutional interest is clearly directed toward Ethereum ETFs, which are positioning themselves as serious competitors to Bitcoin products . This is even more relevant today as Bitcoin's dominance is declining.

Since the beginning of the year, average weekly trading volumes have doubled. Global ETP volumes are now at an all-time high as institutional and retail investors seek protected exposure thanks to new regulations.
Solana, XRP, and Sui also benefited from the altcoin momentum , recording inflows of $39 million, $36 million, and $9.3 million, respectively.
As usual, BlackRock posted the biggest gains. Net inflows into digital assets totaled $14.1 billion in the second quarter of 2025, bringing the company's managed crypto assets to $79.6 billion.
Looking at the overall aggregate inflows into ETFs in the last quarter, digital assets accounted for $14 billion out of the $85 billion in total inflows . Cryptocurrencies are among the fastest-growing investment categories.
Regulatory clarity drives corporate adoption
According to Reuters, the number of publicly traded companies worldwide that have increased the value of their Bitcoin holdings is growing. Since July 2024, this figure has increased by 120%, and these companies now hold just over 859,000 Bitcoins, equal to 4% of the total supply of 21 million.
The trend is growing following the passage of the GENIUS Act and the Trump administration's new favorable stance toward cryptocurrencies.
Reuters also reveals that less than 5% of spot Bitcoin ETFs are held by institutional investors with long-term investments, such as pension funds and foundations . Meanwhile, 10-15% are held by hedge funds or asset management firms.
ETFs are particularly popular with retail investors , who remain the largest holders. This suggests there's still plenty of room for institutional capital to grow as the crypto ETF market matures.

MicroStrategy remains the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin globally, with over 600,000 BTC. Meanwhile, Japan's Metaplanet purchased Bitcoin for $93 million, becoming the fifth-largest corporate holder in the world.
France’s Blockchain Group and Britain’s Smarter Web Company also allocated $12.5 million and $24.3 million in BTC to their balance sheets, respectively.
The correlation between retail purchases of crypto ETFs and price rallies has intensified. This is demonstrated by data from Vanda Research, which captures large purchases by small investors during Trump's election victory and the recent regulatory shift.

Another fact is piquing analysts' interest. Demand is fueled primarily by companies with cryptocurrency on their balance sheets, less so than traditional institutional investors.
Bloomberg ETF analysts assign a 95% probability that the SEC will approve spot ETFs on Solana, XRP, and Litecoin as early as this year. This is up from the previous estimate of 90%, driven by optimism about institutional products.
It's likely that an ETF linked to a crypto index, one that tracks multiple assets simultaneously, will be approved as early as this week. This would be the spark that could ignite a parabolic rally fueled by institutional interest.
Geographically, the majority of these flows are expected to originate from the United States. According to CoinShare, US-related inflows totaled $4.36 billion last week alone. By comparison, Germany saw outflows of $15.5 million and Brazil of $28.1 million.
