Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs Break Records: Crypto Products Hit $138 Billion AUM
Last week, crypto funds saw an unprecedented $2.2 billion inflow, driving total assets under management (AUM) for crypto investment vehicles to a record-breaking $138 billion, according to CoinShares’ latest report.
This surge was largely fueled by U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs and Ethereum products, which attracted $646 million alone. The approval of 11 new spot Bitcoin ETFs in January by the SEC—managed by giants like BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale—has opened the doors for both institutional and retail investors to enter the market more easily.
Key drivers for this explosive growth include:
✅ A more crypto-friendly regulatory environment.
✅ Looser monetary policy.
✅ Political shifts, with promises of support for digital assets under President-elect Trump.
Since the U.S. elections on November 8, Bitcoin’s price has skyrocketed past $93,000, drawing even more attention to the crypto sector.
For Ethereum, the second-largest digital asset, optimism continues to rise as products offering exposure to ETH saw substantial inflows.
This is a milestone moment for the crypto industry—a clear signal that mainstream adoption is accelerating. Whether you’re an investor, builder, or simply curious about the future of finance, now is the time to pay attention.
