Bitcoin ETP Inflows Lead H1 2025 Crypto Trends

[umair]

In the first half of 2025, global crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) saw net inflows of $17.8 billion. While this marks a slight 2.7% decrease from the $18.3 billion recorded in H1 2024, investor interest remains strong, with eleven consecutive weeks of inflows. The final week of June alone contributed $2.7 billion, signaling strong momentum heading into the second half of the year.

Bitcoin dominated the inflow landscape, attracting nearly $14.9 billion—roughly 84% of the total—with $2.2 billion entering in just the last week. Ethereum followed with $2.9 billion in inflows, supported by a $429 million boost in the same week. XRP also saw significant movement, gaining $219 million in inflows year-to-date, including $10.6 million in the last week, partially due to the launch of Canada’s first spot XRP ETFs.

Among ETP providers, BlackRock maintained a commanding lead, capturing over $17 billion in inflows—about 96% of the global total. Other notable contributors included ProShares with $526 million and Fidelity with $246 million, while Grayscale continued to experience net outflows.

Despite a minor dip in year-over-year totals, the consistent weekly growth and strong Bitcoin-led activity suggest a rising level of institutional confidence in digital assets. Analysts view this trend as a positive signal for mainstream adoption, especially as regulated products continue to gain traction.

With Bitcoin holding the majority of inflows, Ethereum and XRP are still finding their ground. The bigger question now is whether this pattern cements Bitcoin’s dominance—or opens the door for broader diversification in crypto investing.

Is this a turning point for institutional crypto involvement, or just a familiar cycle with new numbers?
