The surge followed Bitcoin’s breakout to new all-time highs above $121,000, drawing in fresh capital across exchange-traded products (ETPs).This week’s gains pushed year-to-date inflows to $22.7 billion, up from $19 billion last week, and brought total AUM across crypto funds to a record $211 billion.Bitcoin ETFs Capture Majority of FlowsBitcoin ETPs accounted for 73% of last week’s flows, adding $2.7 billion in fresh capital. That marks a sharp rebound from the prior week’s modest $790 million inflow.CoinShares’ James Butterfill noted that Bitcoin ETPs’ total assets now stand at $179.5 billion, the first time the figure has reached over half (54%) the size of gold ETP holdings — a milestone for digital assets as institutional adoption deepens.Daily spot Bitcoin ETF inflows also topped $1 billion last Thursday, coinciding with Bitcoin’s surge above $112,000, according to SoSoValue.Ether and Solana ETPs Gain, XRP LagsEther (ETH) ETPs saw their 12th consecutive week of inflows, pulling in $990 million, the fourth-largest weekly figure in their history. Over the past three months, Ether inflows represent 19.5% of its AUM, compared to 9.8% for Bitcoin, suggesting growing institutional conviction in Ethereum’s ecosystem.Meanwhile:Solana (SOL) recorded $92.6 million in inflows.XRP ETPs saw the largest weekly outflows at $104 million, continuing a trend of declining investor interest.U.S. Issuers Lead InflowsThe influx of capital was broadly spread across U.S.-based issuers:BlackRock’s iShares pulled in $2.4 billion, continuing to lead the market.Fidelity and ARK Invest followed with $400M and $339M, respectively.CoinShares, in contrast, reported $16M in outflows — one of the few issuers to experience a weekly decline.With Bitcoin now trading above $122,000, and spot ETF demand surging, analysts expect further upside — especially if macroeconomic tailwinds, such as rate cuts and pro-crypto U.S. legislation, continue to build momentum into Q3, according to Cointelegraph.“This level of inflow confirms institutional confidence is back in full force,” one fund strategist said, noting that ETFs are reshaping crypto capital allocation in real time.
