Crypto exchange-traded product (ETP) has mirrored a record inflow in the last week, which has helped it to bounce back to highs.
According to CoinShares report the vast crypto ETPs collectively gathered $3.4 billion inflow from April 21 to April 25, the recently recorded inflow is highest since December last year.
Experts argue that crypto ETP has turned bullish and the back to back swelling in prices of Bitcoin which is currently exchanging hands at $95,493 has renewed the interest and hopes.
In the just passed week in crypto ETPs, Bitcoin stands at the top of the list with around 3.18 billion. When writing the assets under management are $132 billion and total AUM has reached to $151.6 billion.
ETPs Vs. ETF, which helped the crypto grow
Because of their different forms and regulatory environments, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and exchange-traded products (ETPs) have both made substantial contributions to the expansion of the cryptocurrency industry.
ETPs are a large class of investment vehicles that track the performance of underlying assets, such as indexes, commodities, or cryptocurrencies, and trade on exchanges.
Crypto ETFs received widespread approval. ETPs, such as bitcoin investment trusts and ETNs, gave institutional and retail investors access to crypto without requiring them to handle or own digital assets directly.
The 2013 launch of Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust greatly expanded the use of bitcoin by enabling investors to obtain exposure to the crypto through conventional brokerage accounts.
A subset of ETPs, ETFs are usually open-end funds that hold underlying assets and issue and redeem shares in a manner that closely tracks their net asset value (NAV). Futures and spot ETFs are examples of crypto ETFs.
An important turning point for crypto was the U.S. SEC’s approval of spot Ethereum ETFs in July 2024 and spot Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024.
Big organizations like Fidelity and BlackRock made investing in crypto as easy as purchasing stocks and brought in billions of dollars. By January 2025, BlackRock’s IBIT had surpassed gold ETFs in popularity with net inflows of almost $37 billion.

Daily net inflows are still positive even after a difficult Q1 2025, during which Bitcoin saw its worst quarterly performance in seven years. BlackRock’s IBIT contributed +955 BTC to the net inflow of +1,147 BTC into 10 Bitcoin ETFs on April 18, 2025.
As of January 2025, funds such as the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO) had a yearly return of 40%, but the Fidelity Advantage Bitcoin ETF and others had returns between 39% and 50%.
