The crypto market continues to attract institutional investors in 2025, with crypto ETPs (Exchange-Traded Products) recording $17.8 billion in inflows in the first half of the year—just 2.7% below 2024 levels. BlackRock dominates the space, capturing 96% of global inflows, while Bitcoin and Ethereum remain the top assets. Despite minor regional outflows, the sustained demand signals a long-term shift in crypto adoption.
Why Are Crypto ETPs Still Attracting Billions in 2025?
The first half of 2025 saw $17.8 billion flowing into crypto ETPs, slightly below the $18.3 billion recorded in the same period last year. This minor dip hasn’t dampened institutional enthusiasm, as evidenced by 11 consecutive weeks of inflows. The BTCC team notes that this trend reflects growing confidence in crypto as a strategic asset rather than a speculative gamble.
Which Countries Are Driving Crypto ETP Investments?
The U.S. leads with $2.65 billion in inflows, followed by Switzerland ($23 million) and Canada ($19.8 million). However, Canada saw net outflows of $13.6 million, while Hong Kong and Brazil recorded withdrawals of $2.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively. Hong Kong alone withdrew $132 million in June, bucking the global trend.
How Is BlackRock Dominating the Crypto ETP Market?
BlackRock has emerged as the undisputed leader, attracting over $17 billion—96% of total global crypto ETP investments. Competitors like ProShares ($526 million) and Fidelity ($246 million) lag far behind, while Grayscale faced $1.7 billion in outflows. This shift suggests institutions prefer providers with robust infrastructure and stability.
Which Cryptocurrencies Are Institutional Investors Favoring?
Bitcoin remains king, accounting for 83% of weekly inflows ($2.2 billion last week alone). ethereum also saw strong demand, with $429 million added in a single week and $2.9 billion year-to-date. Solana, meanwhile, attracted just $91 million, highlighting the dominance of the top two assets.
What’s Fueling the Sustained Demand for Crypto ETPs?
Geopolitical uncertainty and unpredictable monetary policies are pushing investors toward alternative assets. Crypto ETPs offer exposure without direct ownership, making them a preferred choice for risk-averse institutions. Despite a 2% market cap decline, bitcoin still holds 62% dominance, per CoinGecko.
