Ethereum surpasses Bitcoin in investment inflows for the first time in 2025

Last week, Ethereum took center stage, surpassing Bitcoin in investment inflows for the first time in a year. Despite a price drop to $2,100, the leading altcoin attracted an impressive $793 million, reflecting strong investor confidence.

BTC loses its leadership

According to the report, digital gold attracted $407 million, with ETPs holding 7.1% of its market capitalization, remaining the largest holders. However, significant investments did not help it maintain leadership. Short selling remains low at $0.1 million, indicating trader caution.

In addition to Ethereum, investors actively poured funds into XRP ($21 million) and Solana ($11 million). Sui and Cardano attracted $4.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively. Multi-asset funds also saw growth, securing $14.4 million in inflows over the week.

Investment growth continues

Capital inflows into digital assets have continued for the fifth consecutive week, reaching $7.3 billion since the beginning of the year and $1.3 billion in the past week. However, due to market fluctuations, assets under management in ETPs declined to $163 billion, down from the January peak of $181 billion. Despite this, trading activity remains high at $20 billion per week.

Who leads in investments?

Interest in digital assets is distributed unevenly. The U.S. leads with $1 billion in inflows over the past week, followed by Germany ($61 million), Switzerland ($54 million), Canada ($37 million), Brazil ($23.1 million), Sweden ($18 million), and Australia ($4.7 million). In contrast, Hong Kong recorded an outflow of $8 million.
