YEREVAN (CoinChapter.com) — Crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) recorded $585 million in inflows within the first three days of 2025, according to CoinShares. This marked a strong start for the new year, despite net outflows of $75 million during the final trading days of 2024.
The total inflows for 2024 reached a record $44.2 billion, representing a 320% rise compared to the previous high of $10.5 billion set in 2021. Spot Bitcoin ETFs introduced in January 2024 were the primary driver of these figures.
Bitcoin ETPs Lead Crypto Investment in 2024
Bitcoin exchange-traded products dominated the market in 2024, attracting $38 billion in inflows. This accounted for 29% of the $130 billion in total Bitcoin assets under management (AUM). The launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. significantly boosted these numbers.
Ethereum-based ETPs also showed notable activity. Full-year inflows for Ethereum products amounted to $4.8 billion, representing 26% of the $18.6 billion in total Ethereum AUM. Additionally, XRP-focused ETPs saw $438 million in inflows, while multi-asset products attracted $257 million.
Total ETP Assets Reach $160.6 Billion
By the end of 2024, the total AUM for crypto ETPs climbed to $160.6 billion. This growth reflected increasing global interest in cryptocurrencies as an asset class. Data from CoinShares showed that investments were diversified across multiple products, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and multi-asset funds.
Canada Leads in Crypto ETP Outflows
While the United States accounted for $44.5 billion in crypto ETP inflows in 2024, Canada emerged as the largest seller. Canadian crypto ETPs recorded $707 million in outflows during the year.
