Crypto ETP AUM rose 1.8% in July even as Bitcoin gained 7.4%, pointing to net redemptions. Ethereum ETPs led with a 16.8% increase. Product count reached 330.
Digital asset exchange-traded products broke a two-month losing streak in July. The AUM increase came from price appreciation, not fresh investor demand, according to Fineqia International data analyzed by senior associate Matteo Greco.
Total AUM across global crypto ETPs rose 1.8% to $108.7 billion. The broader crypto market capitalization climbed 6.4% to $2.26 trillion. The gap between the two numbers indicates net redemptions offset some price gains, Greco said.
Bitcoin (BTC) profile backed ETPs ended July with $88.6 billion in AUM, up just 0.4% from June. BTC's price rose 7.4% to $62,896 over the same period. The divergence shows investors pulled money out of Bitcoin ETPs even as the underlying asset rallied, Greco said. Bitcoin's share of total crypto ETP AUM slipped to 81.5% from 82.6%.
Ethereum ETPs led the recovery. AUM jumped 16.8% to $12.0 billion as ETH's price climbed 18.7% to $1,863. Ethereum's share of total crypto ETP AUM rose to 11.1% from 9.6%.
Altcoin ETP AUM edged up 0.6% to $5.26 billion. Basket ETP AUM fell 7.4% to $2.85 billion. Combined, they represented 7.5% of total crypto ETP AUM, down from 7.8% in June.
Year-to-date, total crypto ETP AUM was down 33.8% from $164.2 billion at the end of 2025. That compares with a 25.9% decline in total digital asset market capitalization over the same period. Bitcoin ETP AUM dropped 32.2% year-to-date versus a 28.1% decline in BTC's price. Ethereum ETPs fared worst, with AUM down 44.2% against a 37.2% price decline.
Despite the flow backdrop, product issuance continued. The number of listed digital asset ETPs rose to 330 at the end of July, up from 328 in June and 312 at the end of 2025.
