Ethereum News Today: Ethereum Drives $3.75 Billion Crypto Inflows, Pushes AUM to $244 Billion

Crypto investment products recorded a significant net inflow of $3.75 billion in the week ending August 13, according to data from CoinShares. This marked the fourth-largest weekly inflow on record and pushed total assets under management to an all-time high of $244 billion. The surge was overwhelmingly driven by Ethereum-based products, which captured $2.87 billion in net inflows, representing 77% of the total. This brings year-to-date inflows into Ethereum to a record $11 billion. By comparison, Bitcoin products attracted $552 million in inflows, while altcoins such as Solana and XRP saw smaller but positive flows of $176.5 million and $125.9 million, respectively [1].

The inflows were heavily concentrated in U.S.-listed products, with 99% of the $3.75 billion in net inflows — or $3.73 billion — attributed to U.S. vehicles. Almost all of these flows were directed toward a single provider and product: BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust ETF. This highlights the growing institutional interest in Ethereum through regulated and accessible investment structures [2]. Smaller inflows were also recorded in Canada, China Hong Kong, and Australia, while Brazil and Sweden experienced modest outflows of $10.6 million and $49.9 million, respectively [3].

The dominance of Ethereum in the inflow data reflects a broader trend of renewed institutional and retail confidence in the second-largest cryptocurrency by market value. The inflow figures are based on actual performance data and not projections, underscoring the current momentum in Ethereum ETPs. Analysts have noted that ongoing network upgrades and regulatory clarity may be contributing to the increased demand for Ethereum-based products. However, the data remains subject to macroeconomic shifts and evolving regulatory frameworks [4].

CoinShares' report provides a clear indication of how capital is currently being allocated in the crypto market. With Ethereum leading the charge, the data highlights the evolving dynamics of crypto investment flows and the growing appeal of structured products for investors seeking exposure to digital assets. The performance of Ethereum ETPs suggests a shift in investor priorities, with ether increasingly viewed as a core component of diversified crypto portfolios [5].
