Crypto Market Update: Ethereum Funds Absorb US$1.3 Billion in Weekly Inflows
By Giann Liguid and Meagen Seatter | August 27, 2025
Ethereum has seen a surge in institutional demand, with funds linked to the cryptocurrency absorbing an impressive US$1.3 billion in inflows over the past week—the highest level of interest since June. This significant uptick in investments comes amid dovish signals from the Federal Reserve, which have encouraged traders and investors to increase their exposure to Ether.
Ethereum’s Strong Inflows Following Fed Signals
Data from SoSoValue reveals that Ether-based exchange-traded products (ETPs) have attracted approximately US$3.7 billion since June, underscoring heightened investor appetite compared to other digital assets. In stark contrast, Bitcoin funds have experienced outflows totaling around US$900 million over the same period.
This influx of capital into Ethereum coincided closely with the cryptocurrency reaching a new all-time high of US$4,955 on August 24, further validating investor confidence.
Large publicly traded companies have also contributed to the accumulation, adding Ether to their corporate treasuries. Collectively, these holdings now represent nearly 5 percent of Ethereum’s total supply, with the current accumulation rate outpacing even Bitcoin’s fastest quarterly growth by more than double, according to Standard Chartered analyst Geoffrey Kendrick.
Bitcoin and Altcoin Price Movement
As of 9:00 a.m. UTC on Wednesday, August 27, Bitcoin (BTC) was trading at around US$111,282, marking a 1.5 percent increase in the past 24 hours. Despite this, price action has been volatile, with BTC slipping below the US$110,000 mark amid broader market selloffs and uncertainty tied to macroeconomic factors. This level represents Bitcoin’s lowest in seven weeks, prompting debate among investors about whether the dip is a buying opportunity.
Ethereum (ETH), meanwhile, was priced at approximately US$4,605.36, down 4.3 percent in the last 24 hours. Other notable altcoins have registered gains: Solana (SOL) rose 9.1 percent to US$204.44, XRP gained 3.6 percent to US$3.00, SUI increased 2.4 percent to US$3.44, and Cardano (ADA) moved up 3.5 percent to US$0.8619. —
Notable Crypto Industry News
Trump Media and Crypto.com Partnership
In related news, Trump Media & Technology Group’s shares rose 5 percent on Tuesday following an announcement of a US$6.42 billion partnership deal with Crypto.com centered around the CRO token. The collaboration establishes the Trump Media Group CRO Strategy, initially seeded with US$1 billion in CRO tokens, with plans to operate a validator node on the Cronos blockchain, staking all tokens to generate rewards.
CRO prices surged 30 percent in a single day after the announcement, bucking broader market trends. However, the deal has drawn criticism from token holders due to the reissuance of 70 billion CRO tokens that were previously “burned,” increasing circulation by more than 200 percent and raising concerns about token inflation.
Canary Capital’s TRUMP Meme Coin ETF Filing
Separately, Canary Capital filed paperwork to launch the first-ever spot ETF directly tied to the TRUMP meme coin under the 1933 Securities Act. This would allow the ETF to hold TRUMP tokens outright, unlike prior proposals reliant on offshore entities or cash equivalents. The scoop comes despite industry skepticism, as the SEC typically requires futures ETFs to trade for six months before approving spot products. TRUMP tokens have fallen over 70 percent since their January launch, but recent statements excluding meme coins from SEC securities jurisdiction may inform regulatory decisions expected later this year.
Looking Ahead
The cryptocurrency market remains in flux, with Ethereum’s strong inflows highlighting its appeal amid global economic shifts. Investors continue to weigh the impact of Federal Reserve policies, regulatory developments, and broader macroeconomic factors on digital assets.
