Ethereum Funds Lead $286 million Crypto Inflows Amid Fed Uncertainty

- Ethereum-based investment products lead net inflows for the second consecutive week. - Overall global crypto fund inflows have slowed due to uncertainty surrounding U.S. Federal Reserve policies. On June 9, 2025, The Block reported that Ethereum-based investment products continued their strong performance. These products led net inflows for the second consecutive week and achieved a seven-week positive run, indicating revived investor sentiment towards Ethereum. In contrast, Bitcoin funds faced net outflows. Despite the positive performance of Ethereum-based products, overall global crypto fund inflows have slowed. This deceleration is largely explained by investor caution, which stems from uncertainty about the U.S. Federal Reserve's future monetary policy concerning inflation. Consequently, investors are seemingly adopting a "wait-and-see" approach until clearer signals from the Fed emerge. Last week, global crypto investment products saw net inflows of $286 million, marking their eighth consecutive week of gains and bringing the total inflows up to $11.3 billion. During this period, Ethereum-based products attracted $296.4 million in net inflows. Bitcoin-based products, however, experienced their second consecutive week of net outflows, with $56.5 million leaving these funds, and Short-Bitcoin products also saw net outflows. Regionally, the United States led with $175 million in net weekly inflows, followed by Germany, Switzerland, Canada, and Australia. Meanwhile, Brazil and Hong Kong experienced minor net outflows. In terms of other altcoins, investment products displayed subdued activity: Sui instruments saw minor inflows, while XRP funds continued to witness outflows.
