Ethereum Outshines Bitcoin This August

Digital asset investment funds experienced significant inflows totaling $4.37 billion in August 2025. The cryptocurrency Ethereum emerged as the most successful performer, attracting $3.95 billion in inflows, surpassing the outflows of Bitcoin, which came to a combined $301 million. The performance of the month has elevated the total funds received this year to $35.5 billion.

Switzerland contributed $109.4 million, Germany added $69.9 million, and Canada contributed $41.1 million to the total amount raised during the week. The United States of America spearheaded the effort, contributing $2.29 billion to the overall total raised. A 10% decline has resulted in total assets under management falling to $219 billion, even though this data remains positive. Amid this decline, the unfavorable price momentum and the release of Core PCE data that fell short of expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut in September resulted in market discontent. The loss was influenced by both of these factors.

The performance of Ethereum in August was remarkable, with the asset drawing in $1.4 billion in just the previous week during that timeframe. During the same time period, Bitcoin had total inflows of $748 million. This gap underscores Ethereum’s increasing popularity and its leading role in the digital asset sector.
