CoinShares, a prominent European digital asset management firm, has released its latest weekly inflow report, revealing a Ethereum outpacing Bitcoin in inflows and a continuation of strong investment interest in cryptocurrency-related products.
For the fifth week in a row, digital asset investment products recorded positive inflows, amounting to $1.3 billion for the week. This brings the total inflows so far this year to $7.3 billion. Despite recent price declines in the market, the growing interest highlights investors’ confidence in the long-term potential of crypto assets.
However, the report also pointed out a drop in total assets under management (AUM) for exchange-traded products (ETPs), which fell to $163 billion.
This marks a decline from the all-time high of $181 billion seen in late January. Weekly trading volumes, meanwhile, held steady at approximately $20 billion, signaling consistent activity despite market volatility.
Ethereum Leads Inflows as Regional Interest Grows
In terms of regional trends, the United States led the pack with $1 billion in inflows, supported by widespread buying interest in other regions. Germany, Switzerland, and Canada were among the standouts, reporting inflows of $61 million, $54 million, and $37 million respectively.
Bitcoin attracted $407 million in inflows, cementing its status as a major draw for institutional investors. Notably, ETPs now hold a significant 7.1% of Bitcoin’s total market capitalization, making them one of the largest holders among all entities.
Ethereum was last week’s biggest winner, drawing $793 million in inflows—its highest figure this year. According to James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares, Ethereum’s price dip to around $2,100 spurred substantial buying-on-weakness, outpacing Bitcoin inflows for the first time in 2025.
Other altcoins also saw notable inflows, with XRP attracting $21 million and Solana gaining $11 million. Blockchain equities, another key area of interest, received $33 million in inflows, bringing year-to-date figures to $194 million.
Bitcoin And Ethereum Market Performance
Interestingly, while Ethereum was able to surpass Bitcoin in inflows last week, the asset has also managed to surprisingly outpace BTC in price performance over the past week. Particularly, Ethereum has seen an increase of 3.3% in the past week, Bitcoin on the other hand has surged by only 2.8% over the same period.
Although it is yet to be clear, however, this distinct performance from both assets over the past 7 days suggests that Ethereum might just be beginning to start its own upward momentum.
At the time of writing, Ethereum trades at a price of $2,654 marking a 0.7% increase in the past day. Bitcoin also currently trades at $97,433, marking a 1.2% in the past 24 hours.
Meanwhile, despite this slight discrepancy in BTC and ETH performance over the past week, on the larger time frame, ETH is still very well lagging behind Bitcoin. While Bitcoin hit a new all-time high last month, Ethereum remains below its previous peak and has yet to surpass the $4,878 ATH set three years ago.
