As per the latest CoinShares report, crypto investment inflows hit $2.48 billion last week, bringing August’s monthly net inflows to $4.37 billion, and year-to-date inflows to $35.5 billion.
That said, assets under management have declined by about 10% to $219 billion.
Amid a broader market correction, bearish conditions have been compounded by macroeconomic factors in the U.S., which include pessimistic expectations of a rate cut from the U.S. Federal Reserve this month.
Ethereum product inflows outperformed Bitcoin by double, pulling in $1.4 billion against BTC’s $784 million. That brings ETH product inflows to $3.95 billion for August, far outpacing Bitcoin’s outflows of $301 million.
U.S. investors took the lead with $2.29 billion in inflows. Other regions also saw bullish activity, with Switzerland, Germany, and Canada tallying inflows of $109.4 million, $69.9 million, and $41.1 million, respectively.
Solana products netted inflows of $177 million, followed by Ripple, which recorded $134 million.
Ethereum’s Reign
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs drew a sturdy $440.71 million in net inflows last week; however, this failed to correct the $1.17 billion in outflows recorded the week before.
This left BTC funds with a monthly total net outflow of $751.12 million.
Meanwhile, Ethereum ETFs are seemingly unstoppable, garnering more inflows and attention in the past two months than they had within a year of launching.
Despite seeing a day of outflows, ETH ETFs ended last week with $1.08 billion in weekly total net inflows, raising August’s net inflows to $3.87 billion.

This multi-month inflow run has garnered roughly $11.68 billion since April, resulting in total net assets increasing from $6.17 billion to $28.58 billion.
