Investment entities pour around $800 million into cryptocurrencies consecutively for the fifth week in a row.
In a significant development for the crypto market, the fifth consecutive week of net inflows into crypto investment funds has surpassed $7.5 billion in 2025. This trend is driven by a combination of factors, including strong inflows into Ethereum (ETH) ETPs, favorable regulatory environment, institutional adoption, and global interest.
ETH ETPs Lead the Charge
Globally, ETH ETPs accounted for $2.86 billion of last week's $3.75 billion inflows. The price of ETH surged to a 2025 high around $4,756 before a slight correction, with US Ethereum ETFs significantly outperforming Bitcoin ETFs in net inflows.
Dominance of the US Market
The United States, a key player in the crypto market, contributed $3.725 billion of the global inflows. This dominance is supported by record-high trading volumes of about $40 billion for the week, with Ether alone accounting for $17 billion in volume.
Favorable Regulatory Environment
Regulatory clarity and SEC actions have positively influenced investor appetite, boosting confidence and inflows into crypto ETFs. Crypto ETFs have taken in $29.4 billion in inflows year-to-date through early August 2025.
Institutional Adoption
Institutional adoption of Bitcoin-related ETFs is on the rise. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust attracted $8 billion in Q2 2025, and overall $17.8 billion net inflows into US spot Bitcoin ETFs between April and July 2025.
Macro Factors
Macro factors such as increased retirement fund allocations to Bitcoin, global regulatory clarity, and liquidity bottlenecks are creating potential forced-buy dynamics. Bitcoin recently exceeded $107,000 per unit, but is currently trading near $103,000.
Global Interest
The boom in regions like Hong Kong, along with the strength of the United States and Germany, signals a diversified and globalized institutional interest in cryptocurrencies. Germany and Hong Kong are also significant contributors, with $86.3 million and $24.2 million in investments, respectively.
Net Inflows in the Past Week
The net inflows in the past week amounted to $785 million, with Bitcoin receiving $557 million in inflows, a slight decrease compared to previous weeks. However, the constant injection of almost $800 million in the last week into cryptocurrency investment funds demonstrates solid and growing institutional confidence in the digital market.
Ethereum's Inflows
Ethereum stood out with $205 million in inflows last week and a total of $575 million in 2025. The inflows are driven by optimism following the successful Pectra update and the incorporation of Tomasz Stańczak as the new co-director.
Solana's Outflows
In contrast, Solana, which was the favorite altcoin of institutional investors, registered outflows of $0.89 million.
Regulation and Institutional Confidence
Regulation is evolving towards a more proactive and favorable stance, with meetings between major fund managers and organizations such as the SEC to adjust regulations and facilitate new cryptocurrency-related financial products. This strengthening institutional confidence is evident in the fifth consecutive week of net inflows into crypto investment funds.
The market recovery is significant, as it has occurred despite price fluctuations and aggressive monetary policy signals. This continuous inflow of capital into cryptocurrency investment funds suggests a growing recognition of crypto as a legitimate asset class for diversification and macro-hedging within global investment portfolios.
