Ethereum Outpaces Bitcoin in Inflows as Crypto Market Sees $1.3B Boost

Key Takeaways:

• Digital asset investment products saw $1.3B in inflows, marking the fifth consecutive week of gains.
• Ethereum led with $793M in inflows, surpassing Bitcoin’s $407M for the first time this year.
• Despite market downturns, spot ETFs funneled $203.8M into Bitcoin and $420.2M into Ethereum.

Despite recent market turbulence, digital asset investment products continued to attract capital, recording $1.3 billion in inflows for the fifth consecutive week, according to CoinShares. This brings the total inflows for 2025 to $7.3 billion.

However, due to price declines, total assets under management (AUM) in exchange-traded products (ETPs) dropped to $163 billion, down from their record high of $181 billion in late January.

The strong buying interest was spread across multiple regions. The U.S. led with $1 billion in inflows, followed by Germany, Switzerland, and Canada, which recorded $61 million, $54 million, and $37 million, respectively. Trading volumes remained steady at $20 billion, showing sustained investor activity.

Ethereum Dominates as Inflows Surge

Ethereum stole the spotlight, recording $793 million in inflows as its price fell close to $2,100. This marked the first time in 2025 that Ethereum inflows surpassed Bitcoin. Meanwhile, Bitcoin saw inflows of $407 million, with ETPs now representing 7.1% of Bitcoin’s total market capitalization.

Other notable entries included XRP and Solana, which saw inflows of $21 million and $11 million, respectively. Blockchain equities also continued to gain traction, with $33 million in inflows last week, bringing the year-to-date total to $194 million.

The data signals that investors are capitalizing on lower prices, increasing their exposure to assets they perceive as undervalued. The “buying on weakness” trend reflects growing institutional confidence despite short-term price fluctuations.

Spot ETFs Maintain Strong Demand

According to data from Spot On Chain, spot ETFs saw substantial capital allocations between February 3 and 7, with $203.8 million flowing into Bitcoin and a remarkable $420.2 million into Ethereum. This marked the third-largest net inflow ever for Ethereum ETFs.

Despite these inflows, Ethereum’s price declined by around 20% during the week, underscoring the volatility that continues to define the market. However, the absence of net outflows from Ethereum ETFs suggests that institutional investors hold firm positions, betting on future price recoveries.

The continued inflows into both Bitcoin and Ethereum indicate sustained institutional demand even amid price corrections. With the growing adoption of crypto-related investment products, digital assets remain a focal point for institutional portfolios. If this trend persists, further price rebounds could be on the horizon, driven by increasing investor confidence and strategic accumulation.
