Last week, crypto-focused ETPs (exchange-traded funds) saw a major boost with inflows of $1.9 billion.
According to CoinShares’ latest report, this was the second largest weekly inflow in 2025. The total amount of inflows in the entire year is $4.8 billion.
James Butterfill of CoinShares, the head of its research department, said that this increase may have been attributed to President Donald Trump’s recent executive order, which has sparked renewed interest in US crypto markets.
This executive directive details plans to create a federal group that will explore frameworks for digital strategic assets. This directive proposes to create a “strategic national digital assets stockpile.”And halting the further development and implementation of Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).
Bitcoin leads
Even though narratives around a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve appear to have been overtaken by a mixed digital asset stockpiled, Bitcoin was the primary driver of last week’s inflows, securing $1.6 billion and bringing its year-to-date total to $4.4 billion, which accounts for 92% of all crypto investment inflows this year.
Trading volumes for the most popular asset, namely Bitcoin, remained strong, with a total of $25 billion, representing 37% on all trusted cryptocurrency exchanges.
Meanwhile, investment products tied to Bitcoin in the US witnessed significant participation, with BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) accounting for $1.45 billion of the inflows. Fidelity and Ark 21Shares contributed $202 and $173 millions respectively.
In contrast, Grayscale’s offerings reported $124 million in outflows last week, pushing its total outflows for the year to $392 million.
The short-Bitcoin product also saw a surge in popularity, as the products attracted $5.1 million. Butterfill attributed this to Bitcoin’s recent price movements, which hit notable highs ahead of the presidential inauguration.
Ethereum shines and so do other altcoins
Ethereum saw an upswing last week as well, attracting new investments of $205 millions. This is a major turnaround for an asset that had seen outflows at the beginning of this year.
Ethereum’s total inflows for 2025 now stand at $177 million.
XRP was next with an inflow of $18.5 millions, driven by the growing optimism surrounding several ETFs filed in the United States. This brings the total of its inflows for this year to $90 million.
While smaller altcoins including Solana Chainlink Polkadot all recorded modest inflows between $6.9 and $6.6 millions.
