Here’s XRP Price if XRP ETFs Pull in $5B in the First Month

The XRP price could reach new heights if XRP ETFs attract the amount of capital inflows predicted by the Canary Capital CEO, Steven McClurg.

McClurg made his forecast in a recent podcast episode. Specifically, his firm is one of the applicants seeking approval to launch the product, and he believes the ETFs could attract $5 billion in inflows during their first month. 

Why the Canary Capital CEO Believes XRP ETFs Could Perform Well

Notably, speaking to host Paul Barron, the Canary Capital CEO explained why he expects XRP ETFs to outshine Ethereum ETFs and why that first month could witness massive inflows.

For the first reason, McClurg highlighted that Ethereum holders have an alternative to ETFs: they can stake their ETH directly through exchanges or on-chain, earning 2% to 3% yields. 

Because of this, many crypto-savvy investors might prefer to hold ETH themselves instead of buying an ETF that offers no staking rewards. XRP doesn’t have staking, so ETF buyers wouldn’t lose out on any extra returns by investing through an ETF instead of holding directly.

He also called attention to XRP’s dominance in the payment category. While Ethereum faces competition from other smart contract platforms, XRP has few direct rivals. McClurg argued that this leadership position keeps XRP ahead of the pack and more attractive to investors.

The third factor he pointed to was demand. Notably, XRP has one of the most active communities in crypto, with millions of dedicated supporters worldwide. McClurg believes this level of interest could trigger massive ETF demand, helping the $5 billion target become a reality.

XRP Price if XRP ETFs Attract $5B Inflows

If that happens, the effect on XRP’s price could be massive due to the market cap multiplier effect. Market analyst Dom found earlier this year that just $61 million in buy pressure boosted XRP’s market cap by $16.6 billion. Interestingly, this works out to a staggering 272x market cap multiplier.

Applying that same ratio to McClurg’s $5 billion ETF inflow estimate would push XRP’s market cap up by about $1.36 trillion. With XRP currently trading at $3.15, a $186.5 billion market cap, and 59.3 billion tokens in circulation, this jump would lift the total value to roughly $1.546 trillion. At that level, XRP would trade near $26 per token.

However, to get a second opinion, we sought Google Gemini’s opinion. In response, the AI chatbot agreed that approval of XRP ETFs would trigger a wave of FOMO buying from retail and institutional investors. Gemini suggested that this sudden demand could lead to higher prices.

Nonetheless, it considered more modest multipliers of 10x and 15x for its evaluation. Under these assumptions, $5 billion in inflows would raise XRP’s market cap to between $236.5 billion and $261.5 billion, putting the price between $3.99 and $4.41.

Shiba Inu Team Predicts How High SHIB Must Reach to Ignite an Ecosystem-Wide Bull Run

Shiba Inu Team Predicts How High SHIB Must Reach to Ignite an Ecosystem-Wide Bull Run

Shiba Inu marketing specialist, Lucie, has set a target that SHIB must reach to spark a major bull run in the broader ecosystem. 

She made this known in an X post yesterday, while providing an insight into the performance of the broader cryptocurrency market. Luice expressed that the highly anticipated Alt Season was around the corner as the global crypto market surged to a $4.1 trillion valuation.

For context, Alt Season refers to a period when altcoins significantly outperform Bitcoin in terms of percentage gains. As of today, the Altcoin Season Index on CoinMarketCap reads 30/100, indicating that Bitcoin currently leads among top-ranking crypto assets.

With Alt Season on the horizon, Lucie claimed that some individuals are spreading FUD about Shiba Inu’s ecosystem reward token, TREAT, which currently holds a market cap below $2 million.

Interestingly, Lucie described this valuation as a “gift” to early buyers. Notably, she does not expect TREAT to remain under a $2 million valuation for long.

Price Target SHIB Must Reach to Spark Shiba Inu Ecosystem Bull Run

Meanwhile, Lucie predicted that once the market cap of Shiba Inu’s primary token, SHIB, hits $30-50 billion, the value of other ecosystem tokens, including TREAT, BONE, and LEASH, will also skyrocket.

For context, Shiba Inu currently boasts a market cap of $7.59 billion as it trades at $0.00001288. Hitting the projected $30 billion valuation would require a 295% jump in Shiba Inu’s market cap. Meanwhile, the $50 billion target would demand a 558% surge from its current level.

Given Shiba Inu’s supply of about 589.25 trillion tokens, a $30 billion market cap would place SHIB’s price at $0.00005091, while a $50 billion valuation would lift it to $0.00008485.

According to Lucie, SHIB’s potential surge to a market cap of $30-$50 billion will trigger a ripple effect in the Shiba Inu ecosystem, leading to a substantial rise in the value of other related tokens like TREAT and BONE.

She urged the community to hold any of their preferred ecosystem tokens, expressing confidence that the entire ecosystem is headed for substantial growth.

Halo Effect

Commenting on Lucie’s post, Shiba Inu’s top developer, Kaal Dhairya, characterized this interconnection as a halo effect, where the success of one token like SHIB influences the performance of other related assets, including TREAT, BONE, and LEASH.

However, the top developer emphasized that he wants each ecosystem token to succeed without relying on the performance of related assets.

Meanwhile, Lucie is no stranger to issuing bullish predictions for Shiba Inu. As previously reported, the marketing lead forecasted that SHIB is capable of clinching an ambitious target of $0.01 in the future. She also teased that the token might surpass the one-cent dream and aim for higher targets like $1.

If You’re Not Bullish on XRP, You’re Not a Serious Person: Veteran Investor

If You’re Not Bullish on XRP, You’re Not a Serious Person: Veteran Investor

Patrick Riley, an acclaimed veteran investor, has warned market participants against ignoring XRP at this time.

In a tweet, he remarked that those claiming to be deeply involved in crypto but are not bullish on XRP are “not a serious person.”

His statement suggests that anyone who understands the crypto space should recognize XRP’s value and potential. Beyond XRP’s fundamentals, Riley’s optimistic outlook comes from the technical patterns currently unfolding on the chart.

XRP Looking to Deliver a 10X Return from Here

These patterns include upward-trending price movements, multiple breakout points, supportive trendlines, and a bullish formation with no significant retracement.

Based on two similar historical patterns in XRP’s history—specifically in 2014 and 2017, with the latter leading to an all-time high—Riley’s chart suggests a potential target of around $30 for XRP as its peak this cycle.

Riley’s XRP chart
Riley’s XRP chart

Given that this outlook represents an almost 10x upside for current holders, Riley describes those not bullish on XRP as “unserious.”

Reactions from Market Participants

Riley’s tweet drew significant engagement, particularly from critics who disagreed with his stance. Some commenters rejected the idea that XRP is a promising hold. 

One user, “LinkWarLord,” claimed that Chainlink is everything XRP aspires to be and dismissed Riley’s view, calling those who fail to recognize Chainlink’s value equally “unserious.”

Meanwhile, another commenter, “GibsonGirl,” lamented that her nearly ten-year investment in XRP failed to meet expectations, leading her to eventually give up on it.

Reactions from Market Participants
Reactions from Market Participants

Currently trading at $3.15, XRP is up 42% over the last eight weeks and has gained an impressive 460% over the past year. Despite this performance, XRP continues to face detractors, some of whom have publicly declared large short positions.

These critics often argue that XRP’s uptrend is unlikely to last and dismiss its potential to surpass $10. However, to XRP proponents, those who remain skeptical will ultimately have only themselves to blame or regret for fading the coin.

“Don’t Fade XRP”

For example, XRP advocate Edoardo Farina once tweeted that not holding XRP is the biggest investment risk. He urges investors to hold at least 1,000 XRP, calling it the minimum to “position for success.”

Likewise, crypto founder Versan Aljarrah has claimed that XRP is more than just a digital asset but a key to a new global financial ecosystem. His view echoes that of wealth mentor Linda Jones, who has compared XRP to early shares of Berkshire Hathaway, urging patience for long-term gains.

These XRP commentators have used such bullish perspectives to justify high price targets for XRP, ranging from $100 to as much as $10,000. 

While some believe these lofty projections could materialize far in the future, critics argue that the potential valuations do not justify the expectations.

Here’s Why a Possible Bitcoin Pullback Could Happen Before a Push Toward $140K–$148K

Here’s Why a Possible Bitcoin Pullback Could Happen Before a Push Toward $140K–$148K

Bitcoin is holding a bullish technical structure after completing a 5-wave impulse, according to XForce Global. The analyst now expects a short-term correction before the next leg higher. 

The analyst shared technical charts on X, showing Bitcoin completing a clean 5-wave impulse from the $112,000–$122,000 zone. As of this press, Bitcoin  trades at $118,721, a 2.7% decline in the past day, reducing its weekly gain to 3.8%.

XForce Global considers the move a bullish confirmation because its structure and timing match the characteristics of an impulsive rally rather than a corrective rebound, despite the potential for short-term pullbacks.

Bitcoin Local Correction and Support Zones

The analyst noted that the immediate market focus is on Bitcoin’s ongoing local correction. According to the technical patterns, Bitcoin is currently hovering above the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level around $115,500. 

This level coincides with the lower boundary of the short-term uptrend channel and serves as the first major area where buying interest could intensify.

Bitcoin 4h Chart XForceGlobal

Deeper retracements could extend toward the 61.8% Fibonacci level at approximately $107,500. Both $115,500 and $107,500 are critical supports that align with Fibonacci confluence zones. A sustained move above these levels will keep the bullish wave count intact, allowing for the possibility of an upward continuation without significant structural damage.

Notably, a “protected low” exists at $75,000. This acts as the broader invalidation point for the bullish outlook, meaning that a break below this level would negate the current wave count.

Key Short-Term and Long-Term Levels

Meanwhile, the charts reveal a short-term distribution zone between $121,000 and $123,500. Price action within this range could form a base for potential nesting of smaller degree 1-2 wave structures ahead of the next upward movement. 

Bitcoin 4h Chart XForceGlobal
Bitcoin 4h Chart | XForceGlobal

If support levels hold and the correction completes as projected, the next upside target range is between $140,000 and $148,000, marked as a larger degree wave (3) in the Elliott count.

Two Scenarios in Play for August

For the month of August, XForce Global is monitoring two hybrid scenarios. The first is a standard impulse wave continuation, in which Bitcoin maintains a strong trending structure. 

However, the second is a leading diagonal variation, where price action advances within converging trendlines, often signaling a measured but sustained climb.

In both cases, XForce Global expects that investors will buy the dips, supporting the continuation of the trend. The trendline drawn on the charts remains the key decision point for validating or adjusting the forecast.

Other Analysts Weigh In

Meanwhile, in a separate analysis, trending Bitcoin shared a weekly Bitcoin chart indicating that the current bull market is in its early stages. The chart highlights a recurring pattern across past cycles, where gains in July and August typically leads to a September pullback, the formation of a market cycle top, and the start of a bear market. 

Bitcoin 1W Chart Trending Bitcoin
Bitcoin 1W Chart | Trending Bitcoin

In the present cycle, now in August, Bitcoin trading below $121,000, with annotations marking July–August strength and signalling a potential September decline before a cycle peak.

Further, Bull Theory posted on X that Bitcoin’s weekly chart shows a successful breakout retest above $109K, with sellers unable to push the price back below this level. 

The pattern features an initial red candle marking a pullback, followed by a strong green candle closing near the top, indicating sustained buyer support. This setup, resembling a bullish harami or breakout confirmation, suggests that a move above the previous high could propel Bitcoin toward $123K and higher up to $170K.

Bitcoin 1W Chart Bull Theory

Notably, analyst CrediBULL had earlier forecasted Bitcoin could climb to $150,000 once its ongoing Elliott Wave 5 pattern concludes. He noted the wave began in September 2024 and was strengthened by a Q4 rally linked to Donald Trump’s election campaign. 

Similarly, Tom Lee of Fundstrat predicted Bitcoin could exceed $150,000 in 2025, citing rising institutional adoption. He downplayed February’s drop from $102,000 to $78,000 as a normal cycle and warned against market timing, noting Bitcoin’s gains often occur in short bursts. 

Macro Strategist Says XRP Ready to Rip, Sets $34 as First Target as 7-Year Double Bottom Retest Completes

Macro Strategist Says XRP Ready to Rip, Sets $34 as First Target as 7-Year Double Bottom Retest Completes

Macro strategist Gert van Lagen has suggested that XRP is ready to rip as it recently completed its retest of a 7-year double bottom breakout.

Data from Van Lagen’s chart indicates that this retest occurred as XRP dropped to the $2 mark from February to July and recently recovered. Notably, this price action followed XRP’s breakout from the extensive double bottom structure last November.

XRP Forms Double Bottom

For context, a double bottom structure forms when the price of an asset falls to a particular low, recovers from this low, drops again to about the same level, and then climbs up again. The structure often indicates that the market is preparing for a shift from a downtrend to an uptrend.

With XRP, the formation started as far back as January 2018 after XRP reached the cycle peak of $3.31. From this high, XRP collapsed to a low of $0.1140 by March 2020 and then recovered to $1.96 during the 2021 uptrend. This initial price action essentially formed the first bottom.

Meanwhile, after the $1.96 top, XRP again slumped, dropping to a local bottom of $0.28 by June 2022 on the back of the Terra ecosystem collapse, which impacted the broader crypto market. After this $0.28 low in June 2022, XRP recovered considerably last November during the Trump-led rally, effectively confirming the second bottom.

Specifically, the neckline of this structure rests around the $1.96 to $2 price region. Whenever an asset breaks above the neckline of the double bottom, it typically indicates that the uptrend is imminent. Notably, XRP broke above the neckline when it surged past $2 during the uptrend last November.

XRP 2W Chart Gert van Lagen

XRP Now Targets $34 After Successfully Retesting the Breakout

After soaring further to a peak of $3.4 in January 2025, XRP corrected to retest the breakout at the neckline. This was an essential part of the breakout, as it helps to assess if the breakout was strong enough to usher in the upsurge. In such a case, if the token drops back into the double bottom structure, it invalidates the breakout.

Notably, XRP held the support at the neckline to maintain the breakout during its five-month consolidation. Now, amid the latest market-wide recovery that ensued this month, XRP appears to have surged past the neckline support, as it reclaims the $3 mark. As a result, van Lagen insists that it has completed the retest.

From here, the analyst predicts XRP’s first target is the $34 price, representing a 1,600% increase from the neckline breakout at $2. Interestingly, earlier this year, EGRAG, another market commentator, predicted XRP could soar to the $34 price level, citing positive indicators from the XRPBTC chart. 

Meanwhile, in his analysis, van Lagen based his target on historical context from the 2014 to 2017 market session. Specifically, from 2014 to 2017, XRP formed a similar double bottom structure. The breakout from this structure led to an explosive rally that saw XRP hit $0.3988 from the $0.028 neckline.

SEC Commissioner Says Ripple Lawsuit Is Finally Laid to Rest

SEC Commissioner Says Ripple Lawsuit Is Finally Laid to Rest

The SEC leadership, including Commissioner Hester Peirce, ‘Crypto Mom,’ has confirmed that the agency has laid the Ripple case to rest. 

In a tweet yesterday, Commissioner Peirce stated that the SEC’s long-running case against Ripple has officially ended. This comes after the SEC and Ripple filed a joint stipulation to dismiss their appeal and cross-appeal, respectively, in the Second Circuit.

After the filing, the commissioner emphasized that the case has finally been laid to rest, meaning that the lawsuit has been finally resolved, not paused nor partially settled.

Notably, Peirce referred to the resolution as a “welcome development” for several reasons, including that it eliminates a significant source of distraction. According to her, the SEC, which was initially focused on litigation, can now channel its energy toward creating a clear regulatory framework for crypto.

SEC Chair and Ripple CLO React

Reacting, SEC Chair Paul Atkins agreed with Peirce’s view that the Ripple case resolution is a turning point. He noted that now that the case is resolved, the commission can shift its energy from the courtroom to the policy drafting table.

According to him, the SEC should only concern itself with building a clear regulatory framework for the U.S. crypto industry, fostering innovation in the space, and protecting investors.

In response, Ripple’s CLO, Stuart Alderoty, expressed gratitude to the SEC chairman for leading efforts in creating clear rules for the U.S. crypto industry.

Judge Torres’ Final Judgment Still Stands

Meanwhile, the SEC also announced the resolution of its civil enforcement action against Ripple and two of its executives, Chris Larsen (Chairman) and Brad Garlinghouse (CEO).

It noted that with the appeals dropped, the federal court’s final decision, which resulted in a $125 million fine against Ripple and a permanent injunction, will remain in effect.

Recall that the parties initially attempted to modify the final judgment by dismissing the injunction and reducing the fine to $50 million.

However, Judge Analisa Torres rejected the request on two occasions. Since Judge Torres did not grant the request and the parties have decided to drop their appeals, the SEC confirmed that the district court’s final judgment still stands.

Consequently, the $125 million fine, which was held in an escrow account by Ripple’s legal team, will be released to the SEC. Similarly, the fintech company will be fully restricted from selling XRP to U.S.-based institutions without registering with the SEC.

Here’s XRP Possible Three-Digit Price If It Replicates Only 10% of Its 2017 Bull Run

Here’s XRP Possible Three-Digit Price If It Replicates Only 10% of Its 2017 Bull Run

Market data indicate that XRP has the potential to reach a remarkable three-digit price mark if it replicates only 10% of its 2017 rally.

Digital Asset Investor on X sheds light on XRP price if XRP can rise only 10% of the 2017 bull run.

 

For context, XRP’s impressive run during the 2017/2018 bull market represented its most expensive rally in history. Amid the uptick, XRP claimed its all-time high above $3 in January 2018. However, following this top, it collapsed immensely and has failed to record a rally of similar magnitude since then.

XRP’s Impressive 2017/2018 Run

XRP had the opportunity to repeat the trick in the 2020/2021 bull run, where the altcoin season was in full effect and several altcoins reached new peaks. However, it failed to capitalize on this opportunity due to limited market exposure resulting from delistings and investor caution, motivated by the SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple, which began in December 2020.

Accordingly, several market commentators argue that this lawsuit suppressed XRP’s price potential. With the battle over, as Ripple and the SEC have filed to withdraw their appeals, XRP has no lingering baggage. At this point, what if it ever replicated the 2017 run?

What if XRP Repeats the 2017 Rally?

For context, during this 2017 rally, XRP first increased from $0.005 in March 2017 to $0.3988 in May of that year. At this peak, the uptrend took a breather following a massive roadblock. This led to a six-month consolidation between $0.127 and $0.340.

However, from December 2017, XRP resumed the run, rallying to a peak of $3.31 in January 2018, as recorded on Bitstamp. Overall, XRP’s rally from the $0.005 low to the $3.31 top culminated in a 66,100% rally. This made XRP the best-performing top asset during the 2017/2018 bull run.

XRP 2017 Rally
XRP 2017 Rally

While technically more difficult today, what if XRP replicated just a portion of this rally? Specifically, 10% of the 66,100% rally would result in a 6,610% increase. With XRP currently trading for $3.16, a 6,610% rise would push its price to $212. However, this could take its market value to $12.57 trillion, higher than the combined valuation of the three largest companies, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Apple.

Notably, several analysts, including Charting Guy, Cryptobilbuwoo, and EGRAG, have highlighted that XRP is currently following its 2017 fractal. Nonetheless, if it is, then the uptrend began in November 2024, when XRP traded for $0.5. Applying the 6,610% rise to this starting price would result in a peak price of $33.55 for XRP.

Mantle Launches UR, A Crypto-First Neobank, Bridging Traditional Finance And DeFi

Mantle, a leading modular blockchain ecosystem, has unveiled its most ambitious initiative to date: UR, a borderless smart money app and crypto-first neobank designed to simplify and unify financial experiences. The initiative, with beta testing access now live, marks an important step in Mantle’s mission to build products that bridge decentralized and traditional finance (DeFi and TradFi) for real-world utility. According to Mantle’s recent updates, Q3 2025 and onwards will be a transformative period for the ecosystem’s role in the global financial landscape

UR combines the usability of modern neobanks with the infrastructure of DeFi, empowering users to spend, save, and invest across fiat and crypto within a single account. The initiative is backed by the Mantle Network’s high-performance modular blockchain and one of the largest community-owned treasuries in the crypto space.

Mantle Ecosystem at a Glance

Mantle is a pioneering on-chain ecosystem and comprises innovative products like Mantle Network, mETH Protocol, Function’s Bitcoin (FBTC), Mantle Index Four (MI4), UR, and MantleX. Mantle Network, the foundational infrastructure layer, has recently fully integrated EigenDA on mainnet and Succinct’s zkVM on testnet, and is set to enable scalability technologies like EigenDA, OP Stack, and Succinct’s zk proofs, enabling scalability, security, and speed for next-gen financial applications.

The newly announced UR initiative is part of a broader strategy to position Mantle as the go-to infrastructure for crypto-native finance, further strengthened by MI4 — a tokenized crypto fund for diversified exposure.

Banking Reinvented: UR Mantle’s Crypto-Neobank

UR addresses a common pain point in the digital economy — the fragmented relationship between fiat and crypto accounts. While users typically juggle bank accounts and wallets across platforms, Mantle offers one app for all financial needs, making it easy to spend and off-ramp from a single place.

Key Features:

  • Unified Account for fiat and crypto balances.
  • Virtual and Physical Cards for multi-currency global spending.
  • Auto-Allocation into MI4 fund or DeFi strategies.
  • Credit Lines backed by on-chain assets like mETH and FBTC.
  • Cashback-Style Yield Rewards with the Mantle Rewards Station, where users can lock MNT to boost their “MNT Power” and earn rewards.
  • Direct Salary Deposits with real-time tokenization options.

UR promises the simplicity of Revolut and Apple Pay, but supercharged with DeFi functionality. Users can receive their salary in fiat, instantly convert to stablecoins, and spend or invest — all without ever leaving the app.

Timeline and Rollout Plan

Mantle’s roadmap outlines a multi-phase rollout of UR, with beta testing currently live for users. The project has signaled that Q3 2025 and beyond will be a key period for focusing on compliance, product testing, and global accessibility.

Milestone Timeline
Beta Testing & Waitlist Q2 2025 (LIVE)
Early Access Launch Q3 2025
Global Expansion & Cards Q4 2025 – Q1 2026
Full Suite + MI4 Integration 2026 Onward

Regulatory frameworks are being evaluated per region, with Mantle prioritizing user safety, compliance, and transparency throughout the banking experience.

Value for Token Holders and the Ecosystem

For $MNT holders, UR means direct benefits through:

  • Access to Mantle’s exclusive tools, such as Mantle Index Four and credit lines.
  • Reward opportunities via Mantle Missions and governance.
  • Utility boost for MNT, which serves as the native gas, ecosystem growth, and governance token, along with mETH, and FBTC across financial services.
  • Voting power in shaping product evolution and integrations, as key decisions for the DAO-governed network are made by MNT holders.

For the broader ecosystem, UR becomes the anchor of a self-sustaining financial loop. It enhances capital efficiency, simplifies crypto onboarding, and positions Mantle Network as the “Blockchain for Banking” of Web3.

Easy Access to $MNT on StealthEX

To participate in Mantle’s growing financial ecosystem, users can easily acquire $MNT tokens on StealthEX — an instant crypto exchange platform that supports non-custodial, registration-free swaps.

StealthEX Highlights:

  • Instant $MNT purchases via Mantle’s dedicated page.
  • Over 2,000 trading pairs.
  • No registration or KYC required.
  • High-speed crypto-to-crypto conversions.

Whether staking, participating in the Mantle Rewards Station, joining governance, or preparing for UR features, StealthEX is a top-tier solution to buy and swap $MNT quickly and securely.

Final Thoughts: A Bank for the Web3 Generation

Mantle’s latest developments confirm its ambition to lead not just in blockchain performance, but in creating tangible financial value for everyday users. The new UR app isn’t just another app — it’s a shift toward real-world crypto utility.

As the coming months progress, users and token holders can expect increased engagement, AMAs with core contributors, and feature rollouts aligned with live events like Token2049 Dubai and EthCC.

Mantle is not imagining the future of finance — it’s building it.

Ethereum ETPs Drive $572M Crypto Investment Inflows as US Retirement Policy Sparks Rally

Crypto investment products swung back into positive territory last week, recording $572 million in net inflows, with Ethereum taking the lead after a volatile start.

Fresh figures from CoinShares show the week opened on a cautious note, with $1 billion exiting the market following weaker-than-expected U.S. payroll data. However, sentiment flipped midweek after the U.S. government confirmed that 401(k) retirement plans could include digital assets.

In particular, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to that effect. The move unleashed $1.57 billion in inflows during the latter part of the week, reversing the early losses.

US Powers Growth While Europe Lags

North America was the major driver of gains in the overall market. The U.S. alone brought in $608 million, lifting its year-to-date inflows past $29 billion. Canada followed at a distance with $16.5 million, bringing its year-to-date inflows to $356 million.

However, Europe’s picture was far less optimistic. Germany registered $33.5 million in outflows, while Sweden saw $16.5 million in negative flows, bringing its year-to-date flow to negative $340 million. Notably, Switzerland saw a positive inflow of $1.1 million, with its year-to-date flow reaching $177 million.

Elsewhere, Hong Kong registered a weekly inflow of $1.4 million, while Australia saw $7.9 million in new investments.

Ethereum Hits Record-Breaking Inflows and AUM

Amid the positive developments from the U.S. government, Ethereum-based exchange-traded products saw their strongest weekly inflow of the year at $270 million. This new record pushed total year-to-date inflows to $8.23 billion.

Moreover, the rally in ETH’s price has driven assets under management for Ethereum products to an unprecedented $31.91 billion. This is an 82% increase in 2025 alone.

Spot market action mirrors the momentum. Today, ETH traded above $4,340 for the first time since 2021, fueling optimism of an imminent all-time high.

Bitcoin Bounces Back

Meanwhile, Bitcoin products ended a two-week outflow streak with $260 million in inflows. At the same time, short Bitcoin products shed $4 million, hinting at improving market confidence.

On the spot market, Bitcoin briefly hit $122,200 today, showing signs that it could start pushing beyond its previous peak after nearly a month of subdued trading.

Altcoin Products Also in the Green

Other altcoins also saw a return of investor interest. Solana attracted $21.8 million, XRP brought in $18.4 million, and Near Protocol secured $10.1 million. Products tied to other altcoins like Litecoin, Cardano, Chainlink, and Stellar also saw positive inflows for the week.

Negative figures were only recorded for multi-asset products and SUI, both individually shedding $3 million.
