ETF Ethereum Surpass Bitcoin with $793 Million in One Week
The popularity of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tied to cryptocurrencies continues to rise, with a fifth consecutive week of capital inflows. According to CoinShares, these investments totaled $1.3 billion in the past week. In an unprecedented move, Ethereum (ETH) ETFs have surpassed Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs in terms of inflows, signaling a growing interest in Ethereum.
Ethereum Takes the Lead with Massive Capital Inflows
During the week, ETFs focused on Ethereum gathered $793 million in net inflows, 95% more than Bitcoin ETFs, which accumulated $407 million in the same period. This trend has strengthened as Ethereum briefly dropped below $2,200 on February 6, triggering significant buying at the dip.
This phenomenon represents a notable shift, similar to episodes observed in late 2024. It may signify a gradual reallocating of capital within the crypto markets, driven by increasing anticipation surrounding Ethereum’s innovations and use cases.
Bitcoin Maintains Yearly Lead
Despite this weekly reversal, Bitcoin maintains a significant lead for the year. Since the beginning of 2025, Bitcoin ETFs have accumulated nearly $6 billion in net inflows, which is 505% higher than the annual flows recorded by ETH products.
This imbalance highlights Bitcoin’s continued dominance as a safe haven for institutional investors, while also hinting at a progressive diversification towards other market assets.
Solana and XRP Experience Strong Growth
Other altcoins are also benefiting from this investment surge. XRP-linked ETFs and ETPs have seen a 45% increase in inflows in one week, rising from $14.5 million to $21 million. Meanwhile, Solana (SOL) has experienced a staggering 148% increase with $11.2 million in inflows during the period.
Decrease in Assets Under Management Despite Inflows
Despite this positive trend, the total value of assets under management (AUM) in crypto ETFs has decreased by 4% in one week, reaching $163 billion. This decline is primarily attributed to the market’s price drop, which has affected the overall valuation of the funds.
