- Crypto ETPs saw $226M in inflows, with Bitcoin leading at $195M amid a market slump.
- Despite $33M in altcoin inflows, AUM dropped 5.7% to $133.9B, reflecting price challenges.
- U.S. led crypto ETP inflows were $204M, while Bitcoin investment products dominate.
As investor sentiment changed, cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs) attracted $226 million in inflows in the last week. According to CoinShares digital asset management research, the exchange-traded products (ETPs) markets recorded the second consecutive week of positive flows on March 31, 2025.
The market experienced its first inflow after being dominated by five weeks of outflows. According to research director James Butterfill at CoinShares, the recent inflows indicate a cautious optimism among investors. The positive trend in cryptocurrency investment under management exists, while total assets under management (AUM) at $133.9 billion represent the market’s lowest point in 2025.
The inflows coincide with economic signals from the U.S., where core Personal Consumption Expenditures exceeded expectations. Butterfill suggested this data might prompt the Federal Reserve to maintain a hawkish stance despite signs of sluggish growth. Last Friday, however, saw minor outflows of $74 million, briefly interrupting nine straight trading days of gains. Despite this hiccup, the broader trend points to renewed interest in crypto ETPs after a challenging period.
Bitcoin Dominates Gains, Altcoins Rebound
Bitcoin (BTC) investment products captured most of the weekly inflows in this period, attracting $195 million. The leading crypto retains investor trust as this pattern confirms confidence in its market value. Short-Bitcoin products registered their fourth consecutive week of withdrawal with $2.5 million outflows.
Despite previous massive outflows totaling $1.7 billion, the altcoin investment sector attracted $33 million in incoming funds during the same period. ETH surpassed SOL and XRP to become the leading altcoin with inflows at $14.5 million, followed by Solana (SOL) at $7.8 million, XRP at $4.8 million, and Sui (SUI) at $4 million.
As demonstrated by statistical analysis, participation in inflows was extensive across regions. The leading investors in crypto investment products were the U.S. which contributed $204 million; Switzerland with $14.7 million; and Germany with $9.2 million. The crypto investment product flow in Hong Kong totaled $2.1 million in outflows, while Brazil registered $1.3 million in negative reports. The worldwide statistics demonstrate how crypto investment products have experienced an increasingly positive trend with uneven recovery patterns.
AUM Hits 2025 Low Amid Price Slump
Despite the recent inflows, total AUM for crypto ETPs dropped 5.7% since March 10, falling from $142 billion to $133.9 billion. CoinShares attributes this decline to a slump in cryptocurrency prices. Bitcoin’s price, for instance, has decreased 13.6% since January 1, 2025, per CoinGecko data. The total market capitalization has also tumbled nearly 20% over the same period, dragging down Bitcoin ETP AUM to $114 billion, the lowest since just after the U.S. election.
