Ethereum News Today: Ethereum Leads $2.12 Billion Digital Asset Inflows, Surpassing 2024 Record

Ethereum led digital asset inflows last week, recording a staggering $2.12 billion. This figure was nearly double its previous record, highlighting a significant surge in investment interest. This influx helped push total digital asset investment product inflows to an all-time weekly high of $4.39 billion, surpassing the prior record of $4.27 billion set after the US presidential election in December 2024.

Ethereum has been on a strong run, with inflows from the past 13 weeks accounting for 23% of its total assets under management. This year alone, it has pulled in $6.2 billion and has already topped the full-year inflows seen in 2024. This comes as total assets under management hit a record $220 billion, while global weekly trading turnover in ETPs also reached a record $39.2 billion.

Bitcoin attracted $2.2 billion in inflows this week, down from last week’s $2.7 billion. ETP trading volumes accounted for 55% of its exchange activity. Meanwhile, Solana led altcoin inflows with $39 million, followed by XRP at $36 million and Sui at $9.3 million. During the same period, Chainlink and Cardano recorded smaller inflows of $0.9 million and $0.3 million. Multi-asset products were the only cohort to have recorded outflows of $16.4 million over the past week.

With altcoins pulling notable inflows, the data indicates growing investor appetite for assets beyond Bitcoin. In fact, Bitcoin dominance slipped from 64% to 60% over the past week, while, at the same time, Ethereum’s market share rose from 9.7% to 11.6%. If this trend continues, the next phase of altcoin season could already be underway.

Flows were largely driven by the US, which attracted $4.37 billion during the week. Switzerland followed with $47.3 million, while Australia and China Hong Kong recorded $17.3 million and $14.1 million, respectively. Canada also saw modest inflows of $3 million. Brazil and Sweden, on the other hand, posted outflows of $28.1 million and $21 million. Germany also saw $15.5 million in weekly outflows.

Ethereum's record-breaking inflows underscore the growing confidence in the cryptocurrency as a leading digital asset, attracting substantial capital from institutional investors. The surge in investment is part of a broader trend of increasing institutional interest in digital assets, with Ethereum emerging as a key beneficiary. The total inflows for 2025 now stand at $6.2 billion, already surpassing the total inflows for all of 2024. This rapid growth in investment reflects the growing recognition of Ethereum's potential as a valuable asset class, driven by its technological advancements and expanding use cases.
