Ethereum, XRP, SOL Lead With $3B Inflow: BTC Supremacy Fading?

Key Insights:

• Ethereum led with $2.87 billion inflows, 77% of the total $3.75 billion.
• U.S. investors contributed $3.73 billion, driving sector assets to $244 billion.
• ETH price held above key support despite a 6% decline to $4,271.

Ethereum (ETH) alone attracted $2.87 billion of the $3.75 billion invested in crypto funds last week.

The inflows, recorded on August 13, pushed total assets under management in the sector to a record $244 billion. The altcoins like XRP and Solana were also in the spotlight, as ETH outpaces Bitcoin with its robust influx.

Notably, the United States accounted for nearly all activity in the market with ETH taking the spotlight.

Ethereum Takes the Lead in Weekly Inflows

Ethereum recorded the largest share of cryptocurrency inflows last week, beating Bitcoin.

According to figures from CoinShares, it drew in $2.87 billion, which made up 77% of the $3.75 billion total.

This pushed Ethereum’s year-to-date inflows to $11.09 billion, the highest ever for the asset.

The total investment across digital assets lifted sector assets under management to $244 billion on August 13.

The United States was the main driver of these flows, contributing $3.73 billion, equal to 99% of the total.

According to the report, Canada added $33.7 million, Hong Kong $20.9 million, and Australia $12.1 million.

Some regions saw money leave the market, including Brazil with $10.6 million in outflows and Sweden with $49.9 million.

Bitcoin trailed Ethereum with $552 million in inflows. Other cryptocurrencies saw smaller movements.

Solana gained $176.5 million, XRP received $125.9 million, and Sui recorded $11.3 million.

Cardano and Chainlink also saw minor inflows of $0.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Litecoin and Ton, however, recorded outflows of $0.4 million and $1 million.

On the provider side, iShares ETFs in the United States dominated activity, taking in $3.2 billion.

More importantly, other firms posted mixed results as Grayscale recorded $85 million in inflows.

Additionally, ARK 21 Shares saw $184 million in outflows. Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund also recorded $74 million in outflows.

ETH’s Market Share Grows

It is worth noting that Ethereum’s inflows were notable when compared with its overall size.

For example, year-to-date, the $11.09 billion in inflows equaled 29% of its assets under management.

Bitcoin’s inflows, by contrast, represented just 11.6% of its assets under management.

The figures suggested that investors had been adding to Ethereum products at a faster rate than Bitcoin.

This placed Ethereum ahead of other cryptocurrencies in terms of new capital entering the market in 2025.

Ethereum has now established a record for the largest yearly inflows among digital assets.

The growth showed a clear contrast with Bitcoin, which, although still the largest digital asset by total holdings, did not see inflows rise at the same pace.

This trend gave Ethereum a stronger position in the investment market, in what appears as a fading Bitcoin dominance trend.

In all, this also reflects increasing demand from institutions and individual investors alike.

Ethereum Price Holds Key Levels

Along with the inflows, Ethereum’s price was pegged at $4,271.53 as of writing, down 6% from recent highs.

It is important to add that even with the fall, experts said the market stayed stable overall.

Key support was between $4,300 and $4,400 as buyers also entered near $4,430, keeping prices above those levels.

This showed that demand remained present at higher levels, even during a period of price decline.

Trading volume, however, dropped during the rebound, raising questions about investor strength.

A rising price with lower volume could suggest that momentum was slowing. This might make price swings more unstable in the short term.

Still, the broader view of the market pointed to resilience. As long as Ethereum held above its support levels, many saw a path toward $5,000 as possible.

The strong inflows and steady positioning in the charts placed Ethereum at the center of attention in the crypto market.
