Crypto Market Update: Ethereum Funds Absorb US$1.3 Billion in Weekly Inflows
August 25, 2025 — By Giann Liguid and Meagen Seatter
The cryptocurrency market witnessed notable movements this past week, with Ethereum (ETH) funds experiencing the largest inflows since June, totaling US$1.3 billion. This surge reflects growing institutional demand, influenced by dovish signals from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, and highlights Ethereum’s prominent position in the current crypto landscape.
Ethereum’s Strong Fund Inflows Amid Fed Signals
Data from SoSoValue highlights that Ether-based exchange-traded products (ETPs) have absorbed approximately US$3.7 billion since June 2025. This contrasts sharply with Bitcoin (BTC) funds, which have seen outflows around US$900 million in the same period. The inflows into Ethereum funds accelerated notably after recent hints from the Federal Reserve suggesting a more dovish monetary policy stance.
This institutional appetite coincided with Ethereum reaching a new all-time high of $4,955 on August 24. Publicly listed companies have also increased their reliance on Ethereum, adding the cryptocurrency to corporate treasuries. Collectively, these entities now hold close to 5 percent of Ethereum’s total supply, a remarkable accumulation rate surpassing twice the fastest quarterly pace previously seen with Bitcoin, according to Geoffrey Kendrick of Standard Chartered via DLNews.

Notable Crypto Developments
Trump Media and Crypto.com Enter US$6.4 Billion CRO Partnership
Trump Media & Technology Group shares rose 5% following confirmation of a significant partnership with Crypto.com, valued at US$6.42 billion. The collaboration will create the Trump Media Group CRO Strategy, a treasury vehicle initially seeded with US$1 billion in CRO tokens, supplemented by equity lines for future token purchases.
Under the terms, Trump Media & Technology Group will run a validator node on the Cronos blockchain, staking all tokens to generate network rewards. This announcement triggered a remarkable 30% surge in CRO token prices in a single day, even as the broader crypto market stagnated.
However, the deal has sparked controversy among crypto holders due to the reissuance of 70 billion CRO tokens that had previously been “burned,” effectively expanding the token’s circulation by over 200%.
Canary Capital Files for First Spot ETF on Trump’s Meme Coin
In a move stirring interest in crypto innovation, fund manager Canary Capital filed with regulators to launch the world’s first spot Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) tracking the TRUMP meme coin directly. Unlike earlier proposals registered under the 1940 Investment Company Act, Canary Capital’s filing utilizes the 1933 Securities Act, allowing the ETF to hold TRUMP tokens outright rather than relying on offshore subsidiaries or cash equivalents.
This step is noteworthy amid skepticism about regulatory approval, as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) typically requires futures-based ETFs to trade for approximately six months prior to approving spot versions. The filing follows the SEC’s February announcement excluding meme coins from its securities jurisdiction, an interpretation aligned with President Trump’s pro-crypto policy stance.
Despite excitement, analysts caution that the TRUMP token has lost over 70% of its value since its January launch. The SEC’s decisions on several meme coin ETF proposals are anticipated later this year.
