Ethereum-linked investment funds are experiencing accelerated growth as ETH’s price recovery above $3,000 drives renewed investor interest, with these funds now expanding faster than Bitcoin-based products.
Ethereum’s price has surged approximately 85% over the past three months, breaching the $3,000 threshold though remaining below its all-time high near $4,900. This rally has propelled Ethereum investment funds to a 19.5% increase in assets under management (AUM) during the last 12 weeks, reaching $19.6 billion.
Notably, Ethereum funds attracted $990 million in inflows last week – among the highest weekly totals on record – while Bitcoin-linked funds drew $2.7 billion. Bitcoin funds registered a 9.8% AUM growth to $176 billion during the same 12-week period.
Other altcoins showed divergent trends: Solana-linked funds secured $92 million in inflows last week, while XRP-focused products saw $104 million in outflows despite XRP’s 31% price appreciation.
Although Ethereum’s ETF market remains nascent with $12.7 billion in AUM compared to Bitcoin’s $148 billion, analysts highlight Ethereum’s growing momentum as indicative of shifting institutional and retail investment patterns within digital assets.
