Crypto Influx Surges As Bitcoin ETFs Propel Market Growth

By: Eliza Bennet

The cryptocurrency market witnessed a remarkable surge in investor demand for digital asset investment products, leading to an unprecedented $3.7 billion inflow last week. This influx marks the second-largest weekly inflow on record and the most significant climatic shift in 2025. The CoinShares weekly report highlighted this substantial increase, particularly on July 10, when the market observed its third-largest single-day inflow of over $1.1 billion, further elevating the cumulative yearly inflows to $22.7 billion.

James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares, noted that the burgeoning investor interest has contributed to the 13th consecutive week of net inflows. With assets under management (AUM) now reaching an all-time high of $211 billion, the barrier of $200 billion was surpassed for the first time. In tandem, trading volumes soared to $29 billion during the week, showcasing more than double the annual average. The US market, particularly Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), played a pivotal role in this growth momentum. These ETFs orchestrated back-to-back daily investments exceeding $1 billion.

Bitcoin continues to be the dominant force, with $2.7 billion inflow within a week, thus broadening its AUM to $179.5 billion. This figure equates to over 54% of the total AUM held in gold exchange-traded products. Notably, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) has significantly contributed to this trend with inflows nearly reaching $20 billion this year alone and now managing over $90 billion in assets. Meanwhile, Ethereum has also made considerable strides, attracting $990 million, which is recognized as its fourth-largest weekly inflow.

While Ethereum’s inflows mark its 12th consecutive weekly gain, reaching over $4 billion this year, other altcoins showcased varied performances. Solana garnered $92.6 million, contrasting with XRP, which experienced $104 million in outflows, reflecting investor shifts amid pro-crypto policy dynamics in the US. Despite XRP’s recent outflows, its year-to-date inflows remain substantial at $231 million, with Solana’s reaching $206 million. This trend represents growing investor confidence in digital asset products and highlights an optimistic trajectory for the crypto market.
