Bitcoin dominance slips as Ethereum explodes after record $4.39 billion inflows week

Last week, digital asset investment products reached a new peak with $4.39 billion in inflows, driven by increasing demand for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. This surge, as detailed in the latest weekly report from CoinShares, surpassed the previous record set in December 2024, following the US presidential elections.

The positive trend continued for the 14th consecutive week, bringing the year-to-date total inflows to $27 billion. This record-breaking week coincided with significant pro-crypto policy developments in the United States, including the passing of the CLARITY Act, the Anti-CBDC Surveillance Act, and the GENIUS Act, signed into law by President Donald Trump.

CoinShares reported a notable rise in trading activity, with global weekly trading turnover in crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) hitting a record $39.2 billion. Bitcoin and Ethereum led the trading volume, contributing to a surge in total assets under management (AUM) to an all-time high of $220 billion.

Ethereum Makes Strides

While Bitcoin products attracted $2.2 billion in inflows, down slightly from the previous week, Ethereum products gained momentum. ETH-focused funds saw inflows of $2.12 billion, nearly double their previous record.

With 13 consecutive weeks of inflows, Ethereum now accounts for 23% of its total AUM. The inflows for Ethereum funds in 2025 have already surpassed the total for 2024, reaching $6.2 billion.

Additionally, other major altcoins like Solana, XRP, and Sui also experienced increased traction in the market, reflecting the overall uptrend in the crypto market and growing institutional interest in the sector.
