Ethereum News Today: Crypto ETPs See $3.75B Weekly Inflows as ETH Drives 77% of Total

Cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs) experienced a record $3.75 billion in inflows during the week ending August 15, 2025, according to a report by European crypto asset manager CoinShares. The inflows were primarily driven by Ether (ETH)-linked products, which attracted $2.9 billion—accounting for 77% of the total—despite Bitcoin (BTC) reaching a new all-time high above $124,000 the same week [1]. Bitcoin ETPs saw comparatively smaller inflows of $552 million, reflecting a shift in investor preference toward Ethereum-based instruments [2].

The surge in ETH ETPs coincided with Ethereum’s price nearing a historical high of $4,700 on Thursday. This performance was mirrored in the trading volumes, with Ether ETFs alone generating approximately $17 billion in weekly volume—the highest on record for a spot crypto ETF. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas described the phenomenon as “ETHSANITY” on social media, emphasizing the unprecedented scale of activity [3]. The combined weekly volume for Bitcoin and Ether ETFs reached $40 billion in just four trading days, breaking previous records [4].

Other altcoins also saw varying levels of inflows. Solana (SOL) and XRP attracted $176.5 million and $125.9 million, respectively, while Litecoin (LTC) and Toncoin (TON) experienced minor outflows [5]. These figures indicate a diversification of capital flows, with investors broadening their exposure beyond Bitcoin.

The pattern of inflows has also evolved, with shorter but more intense streaks becoming more common. Spot Ether ETFs saw a strong $3.7 billion inflow over an eight-day period, while Bitcoin ETFs recorded $1.3 billion over seven days. These compare to previous longer streaks, such as a 20-day run for Ether in July and a 15-day run for Bitcoin in June. However, investor sentiment showed signs of cooling by the end of the week, with both Bitcoin and Ether funds experiencing outflows on Friday [6].

This dynamic suggests a more volatile yet concentrated interest in crypto ETPs, with investors making larger bets over shorter timeframes. Despite Bitcoin’s price achievements, the inflow data highlights growing institutional and retail interest in Ethereum as a strategic asset. As of the time of reporting, ETH traded at around $4,277, while BTC was valued at approximately $115,058 [7].
