Crypto ETPs Surpass 2024 Total with $48.7B in Flows: CoinShares

Cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs) have shattered records with an unprecedented $48.7 billion in inflows year-to-date, already surpassing the entire 2024 total according to CoinShares data. This massive influx demonstrates growing institutional adoption and mainstream acceptance of digital assets in traditional investment portfolios.

Bitcoin continues leading the cryptocurrency market with $30 billion in ETP inflows, though its dominance has notably declined from 86% to 62% market share. This shift signals diversification among crypto investors seeking exposure to alternative blockchain technologies and DeFi protocols.

Ethereum emerged as the standout performer, tripling its 2024 inflow figures with an impressive $14.1 billion in institutional investment. This surge reflects growing confidence in Ethereum's blockchain ecosystem, smart contract capabilities, and its role in powering decentralized finance applications.

Among altcoins, Solana and XRP are capturing significant investor attention, leading the charge beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. The record-breaking ETP flows indicate maturation of the cryptocurrency market, with institutional investors increasingly viewing digital assets as legitimate portfolio diversification tools rather than speculative investments.
