Cryptocurrency ETPs Attract $47 Million in Inflows Over the Past Week Despite Bitcoin’s Downturn, Reports TradingView News

Last week, cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs) saw modest inflows of $47 million following a pronounced downturn in Bitcoin investment vehicles.

In the second trading week of 2025, a sharp contrast was observed as investors injected close to $1 billion into crypto ETPs, which was nearly balanced out by outflows of $940 million, as detailed by crypto analytics company CoinShares on January 13th.

The significant capital withdrawal coincided with developments in macroeconomic indicators and insights from the US Federal Reserve’s minutes, suggesting a robust US economy and a Fed with a tightening stance, according to CoinShares’ lead researcher James Butterfill.

Butterfill elaborated, “The post-election grace period in the US has concluded, and once again macroeconomic figures have resumed their role in determining the pricing of assets.”

Bitcoin ETPs Garner $213 Million in Weekly Net Inflows

During the Jan. 6-10 period, inflows for Bitcoin (BTC) ETPs reached $213 million, even as they experienced the highest outflows among digital currencies later that week.

As of the early part of 2025, Bitcoin maintains its lead as the digital asset with the strongest performance, amassing year-to-date inflows of $799 million, as per the report.

Following these market actions, the total assets under management (AUM) for Bitcoin ETPs fell by 3.5%, sliding from $130 billion the prior week to $125.4 billion.

Ethereum Registers Largest Exits, While XRP Gains Momentum

Last week witnessed Ethereum ETHUSD ETPs experiencing the heftiest outflows, amounting to $256 million.

According to Butterfill, the pullback in Ethereum investment should be seen as part of a larger retreat from tech investments rather than issues specific to the currency.

Conversely, XRP XRPUSD, with a market cap ranking it third globally, accrued significant inflows to its ETPs, totalling $41 million, the previous week.

The inflow for XRP indicates growing optimism, particularly in light of the looming appeal deadline set by the US Securities and Exchange Commission for January 15.

Even with lackluster price actions, altcoins such as Aave, Stellar, and Polkadot attracted substantial investment inflows of $2.9 million, $2.7 million, and $1.6 million, respectively.

Swiss Outflows Peak at $85 Million

While inflows of $79 million cements the US as the predominant source of funding for crypto ETPs last week, it was Switzerland that led the outflows, with $85 million being pulled out.

Germany and Canada also recorded significant inflows at $52 million and $37 million, correspondingly.

In addition, considerable capital exits were noted in Hong Kong and Sweden, where outflows were approximated at $37 million and $33 million, respectively.
