In a significant turn, Ether and other altcoins have outperformed Bitcoin in exchange-traded product (ETP) inflows for the first time in 2025. Data from CoinShares indicates that Ether ETPs attracted $793 million, 95% more than Bitcoin ETPs, which saw $407 million in inflows, a 19% decline week-over-week. The increase in Ether inflows coincided with a drop in ETH pricing below $2,700, triggering a buying response among investors. Despite this weekly downturn, Bitcoin maintains a lead in year-to-date inflows, totaling nearly $6 billion, which is 505% more than Ether's YTD inflows. XRP ETPs also experienced growth, rising 45% to $21 million, while Solana ETPs saw a notable surge of 148%. However, overall assets under management (AUM) for crypto ETPs fell to $163 billion, down 4% from the prior week and about 11% from their peak in January. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust led the inflow charts with $315 million, while Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund faced significant outflows of $217 million.
