Bitcoin ETF demand drives $3.7B inflow as crypto AUM breaks $200B for first time
Investor demand for digital asset investment products surged last week, with total inflows reaching $3.7 billion, the second-largest weekly inflow on record and the highest in 2025.
The CoinShares weekly report showed that this was evidenced by the inflows on July 10, when the market recorded its third-largest single-day inflow of more than $1.1 billion.
According to James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares, last week’s inflow marks the 13th consecutive week of net inflows, pushing the cumulative total to $21.8 billion and year-to-date inflows to $22.7 billion.
He noted that these products’ assets under management (AUM) also climbed to a record $211 billion, breaking above the $200 billion mark for the first time. At the same time, trading volumes hit $29 billion during the week, more than double the annual average.
US Bitcoin ETFs drive market
Bitcoin remains the dominant force behind these inflows, attracting $2.7 billion in the last week alone. This pushed Bitcoin’s AUM to $179.5 billion, equivalent to over 54% of the total AUM held in gold exchange-traded products (ETPs).
A major driver of this momentum was the sustained inflow into US-listed Bitcoin ETFs, which saw back-to-back daily investments exceeding $1 billion.
On July 10 and 11 alone, the 12 Bitcoin ETF products raked in a combined $2.21 billion, marking the largest two-day total since spot Bitcoin ETFs began trading in January 2024.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) played a significant role in this trend, contributing nearly $20 billion in inflows so far this year. IBIT now manages over $90 billion in assets, accounting for a substantial portion of the total market AUM.
Meanwhile, Short Bitcoin products showed limited movement, with only $400,000 in inflows despite Bitcoin climbing above $120,000 to set a new all-time high.
Ethereum leads altcoins inflow
According to the CoinShares report, Ethereum followed closely behind with $990 million in inflows, its fourth-largest weekly total on record.
This marks its 12th consecutive week of inflows, which now represent 19.5% of its total AUM, more than double Bitcoin’s 9.8% for the same period.
In total, Ethereum’s inflows this year have reached a record high of over $4 billion and show the rising institutional interest in the digital asset.
On the other hand, other major altcoins showed varied performance.
Solana attracted $92.6 million in inflows, while XRP saw $104 million in outflows, the largest for the week.
Despite this, XRP’s year-to-date inflows still stand at $231 million, while Solana’s have climbed to $206 million.
Market observers noted that these numbers reflect strong investor interest in digital asset investment products amid the pro-crypto policy tone of the Trump administration.
