Ethereum grows twice as fast as Bitcoin in latest $1B crypto fund inflow
2025/07/07 05:12Crypto investment products continued their strong momentum last week, recording $1.04 billion in inflows, according to the latest CoinShares report.
This marks the 12th straight week of positive inflows, pushing the year-to-date total to $18 billion.
The surge was accompanied by increased trading activity, with weekly volumes rising to $16.3 billion. As a result, the broader market optimism helped lift total assets under management (AuM) across crypto funds to an all-time high of $188 billion.
Bitcoin dominates, but Ethereum shows growing strength
Bitcoin remained the top choice for institutional investors, pulling in $790 million in new capital last week. However, the figure reflects a slight slowdown compared to the $1.5 billion average in the previous three weeks.
James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, said the dip in momentum may signal increased caution as Bitcoin approaches its ATH. Short Bitcoin products recorded $400,000 in inflows, suggesting that bearish sentiment lingers among some investors anticipating a correction.
Ethereum continued its quiet ascent, marking its 11th consecutive week of inflows. Last week, the network attracted $226 million, bringing its yearly total to over $3 billion.
Butterfill noted that Ethereum products have now averaged inflows of 1.6% of total AUM, which is twice the rate of Bitcoin over the same period.
This shift in investor sentiment toward Ethereum is notable, especially as Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan predicted US-based spot Ethereum funds could see inflows of up to $10 billion in the second half of 2025.
He cited Ethereum’s utility in tokenizing real-world assets—ranging from stocks to stablecoins—as a key growth driver for the crypto.
Aside from Bitcoin and Ethereum, other altcoin-linked products also attracted fresh interest. Last week, investment funds linked to Solana took in $10.6 million, XRP products added $21.6 million, and Sui recorded $1.6 million in inflows. Together, crypto investment products linked to these three assets have brought in over $500 million in new capital this year.
Regionally, the US-dominated weekly inflows with $1 billion, while Germany and Switzerland followed with $38.5 million and $33.7 million, respectively.
In contrast, Canada and Brazil saw outflows of $29.3 million and $9.7 million, reflecting weaker sentiment in those markets.

AI investment enters the "Trough of Disillusionment", the next 18 months will be a life-or-death test!
Goldman Sachs believes that the AI investment cycle is currently in the "trough of disillusionment," but this is not the first time. The core contradiction lies in the fact that the business models of new cloud computing providers are highly dependent on end-user returns from AI spending, while currently "there are basically zero companies that can attribute profits to AI." Social Capital founder Palihapitiya has clearly defined an 18-month key window, during which the market will decide which AI business models are sustainable and which are not.
Anthropic's Core Concern: Revenue Can Be Withdrawn at Any Time, but Computing Power Costs Are Locked in for up to 20 Years
Zheshang Securities believes that Anthropic's revenue is mainly based on usage-based billing, with remaining performance obligations covering only about 5.1 months of annualized revenue, while compute power costs are already locked in with $895.4 billion in irrevocable commitments, some extending as far as 2045. Revenues can be reduced at any time, but costs are non-exitable, creating a highly asymmetric maturity gap between the two—this is the company's real core constraint.
Triple Pressure from the Federal Reserve, Treasury, and Congress; Goldman Sachs: Liquidity Crisis May Occur in 2027
Goldman Sachs warns that the reserve ratio of bank assets has dropped to around 11%, only slightly above the crisis trough of 2019. In the second half of 2027, a deadlock in debt ceiling negotiations will force the Treasury to rebuild the TGA, triggering a "perfect storm" of a sharp drop in reserves and a surge in T-bill supply; combined with stalled money market fund buying, this will create a huge liquidity black hole. The Federal Reserve could be forced into the awkward position of lowering interest rates and launching large-scale bond purchases to rescue the market.
