This figure surpasses the previous record of $4.27 billion set in December 2024, following the US presidential elections. It also marks the 14th consecutive week of positive flows into crypto investment products, bringing the year-to-date total to $27 billion.
As a result, CoinShares noted a sharp uptick in trading activity. Weekly trading turnover in crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) hit a record $39.2 billion globally, with Bitcoin and Ethereum leading the volume.
The inflows and trading activity surge pushed the total assets under management (AUM) to an all-time high of $220 billion.
Bitcoin products brought in $2.2 billion last week, down from $2.7 billion the previous week.
However, activity remained strong. According to CoinShares, the ETPs trading made up 55% of all Bitcoin exchange volumes, underlining the growing dominance of institutional products.
On the other hand, Ethereum products continued to gain momentum in the market.
The week’s inflow extended Ethereum’s streak to 13 straight weeks of inflows, and it now accounts for 23% of its total AUM. Notably, inflows for Ethereum funds this year have already surpassed the total for 2024, which was $6.2 billion.
The broad uptick in inflows mirrors the ongoing crypto market rally and growing institutional interest in the emerging sector.
