Reports say global exchange-traded products tied to crypto pulled in about $2.2 billion in net inflows during the latest week, a jump that marked the strongest weekly move since October last year.
Bitcoin-focused funds took the lion’s share, while Ether and a handful of altcoin products also saw fresh money enter.
Rising Appetite For Bitcoin And Ether
According to CoinShares, Bitcoin-led products accounted for most of the inflows, while Ether-linked ETPs grabbed a meaningful slice of new capital as well.
Many investors treated these products as an easier way to get exposure to crypto without owning coins directly. The pattern points to growing comfort among big traders and funds with exchange-traded wrappers.
Some Flows Came As Prices Moved
The uptick in cash into ETPs coincided with a fresh push higher in prices for core tokens. Traders who had been on the sidelines made buys after recent rallies, and funds that track these assets reported higher trading volumes.
That increase in trade activity helped push the headline inflow number into view. A few market watchers said the move looked like accumulation by longer-term holders, while others warned that part of the money could be short-term positioning around events and news.
Ease Of Access Draws Institutional Money
For many institutions, these products are more familiar than direct custody of crypto. Brokers and wealth managers can put them on client platforms with the same tools they use for stocks and bonds.
Some banks and advisers have started to offer these ETPs as part of broader portfolios, which has helped open a new tap of capital. That said, differences in rules across countries still shape where the biggest flows land.
Where The Money Went And What It Means
Bitcoin ETPs were the main beneficiaries, taking most of the $2.2 billion. Ether funds also saw healthy inflows, and a small number of altcoin products attracted fresh cash.
The data shows demand is not limited to a single corner of crypto anymore. Instead, investors are spreading bets across the biggest names while a few niche tokens get tested.
This could mean more stable demand for core products, even when smaller tokens wobble.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that’s not just a metaphor, it’s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.
Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).
Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling – right up his alley!
So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).
Think Christian’s all work and no play? Not a chance! When he’s not at his computer, you’ll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.
Speaking of chill, Christian’s got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.
Here’s the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day – and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.
Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors – and bosses – he deeply respects.
So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
