July 14, 2025 — Cryptocurrency investment products attracted $3.7 billion in weekly inflows as Bitcoin surged past $118,000, driving crypto fund assets under management to a record $211 billion.
Key Takeaways
Bitcoin ETPs Lead the Rally
According to CoinShares, global crypto ETPs saw $3.7 billion in inflows for the week ending July 12, 2025. Bitcoin ETPs led the surge, attracting $2.7 billion about 73% of the total. This marked a sharp rebound from the previous week’s $790 million and pushed Bitcoin ETP assets to $179.5 billion.
The milestone also brought Bitcoin ETP assets to 54% of gold ETP assets for the first time, showing Bitcoin’s rising status among institutional investors.
Ethereum Maintains Momentum
Ethereum ETPs recorded $990 million in inflows, marking their 12th consecutive week of positive movement. This streak ranks among the top four for Ethereum, reflecting growing optimism ahead of the possible Ethereum spot ETF launch.
Over the past 12 weeks, Ethereum’s inflows have amounted to 19.5% of its total AUM double Bitcoin’s 9.8% during the same period.
XRP Sees Sharp Outflows, Solana Gains Interest
While most major assets enjoyed inflows, XRP ETPs saw $104 million in outflows, the highest for the week. In contrast, Solana funds gained $92.6 million, underscoring rising investor confidence in Solana’s ecosystem as it expands into real-world asset tokenization and institutional staking.
BlackRock, Fidelity, ARK Capture Majority of Inflows
The inflows were led by US-based issuers, particularly:
- BlackRock: $2.4 billion
- Fidelity: $400 million
- ARK Invest: $339 million
Meanwhile, CoinShares, based in Europe, recorded minor outflows of $16 million, signaling a slight shift in momentum away from some European markets.
What Has Happened So Far
- Early 2025: Crypto ETPs began consistently gaining inflows as institutional demand grew.
- June 2025: Weekly crypto inflows averaged $1.5 billion, with a brief slowdown to $790 million last week.
- July 10, 2025: Bitcoin hit a new all-time high above $112,000.
- July 14, 2025: Bitcoin reached $118,000, triggering renewed inflows into crypto funds.
Amplifier: Crypto ETPs Near Half of Gold Fund AUM
As of this week, Bitcoin ETPs alone now hold assets worth 54% of total gold ETPs an unprecedented overlap. Historically, gold ETPs were seen as the only institutional hedge against inflation, but crypto is quickly filling that role. With $211 billion now held in crypto funds, the digital asset market is inching closer to being treated as a legitimate macro asset class by global investors.
