Digital asset investment products mark fifth consecutive week of growth, reaching $1.3B in inflows, while Ethereum outperforms Bitcoin for the first time in 2025.
Digital asset investment products have had an intense week, with $1.3 billion in new inflows, marking the fifth straight week of growth. According to CoinShares, this brings the total Year-to-Date (YTD) net inflows to $7.3 billion.
The market showed strength despite fluctuations in the inflow from exchange-traded products (ETPs) caused by the higher tariff scare from earlier in the month. Global investor’s confidence has also remained strong over the past few weeks.

The most significant inflows came from top US asset managers like BlackRock Inc (NYSE: BLK), Bitwise, Fidelity, and Grayscale. In addition to ProShares and 21Shares, these added $1 billion in investments. This trend is also global, with Germany, Switzerland, and Canada contributing $61 million, $54 million, and $37 million, respectively.
This broad demand shows that digital assets are becoming more attractive to investors worldwide. Firms are also injecting cash into crypto-based startups to complement these bets into digital asset investment products.
So far this year, $194 million has flowed into blockchain stocks, with $33 million coming in this past week alone. This shows that more people are interested in the technology behind digital currencies.
Ethereum Takes the Lead Over Bitcoin
Ethereum had a big week, bringing in $793 million in investments and beating Bitcoin for the first time in 2025. Even though its price dropped to around $2,100, investors saw it as a chance to buy, pushing inflows even higher.
Many believe Ethereum’s smart contracts and upcoming Pectra upgrades will make the asset even more valuable. Despite the high interest in Ethereum, market data shows that the asset is experiencing a major short squeeze.
Wall Street drives this as investors prepare for the highly expected altseason.
Per the CoinShares data, Bitcoin recorded a total of $407 million in inflows this week. Coinspeaker reported that the digital asset is holding firm in the face of market pressure. Bitcoin-based investment products comprise 7.1% of its market value, showing its strong position as a safe choice for investors.
Other cryptocurrencies like XRP and Solana SOL $86.01 24h volatility: 2.8% Market cap: $48.87 B Vol. 24h: $4.38 B are also attracting interest. XRP $1.48 24h volatility: 1.5% Market cap: $90.26 B Vol. 24h: $6.29 B saw $21 million in inflows, driven by its cross-border payment capabilities. Solana also brought in $11 million as investors looked to its growing use in decentralized apps.
