Alonaw Business School Crypto Market Analysis: ETH Leads $1.9B Weekly Surge in Digital Asset Flows

 The digital asset market continues its bullish momentum with cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs) recording their 15th consecutive week of positive inflows. Alonaw Business School analysis reveals significant institutional appetite despite market volatility, particularly in the Ethereum sector.

Market Performance Deep Dive

Last week delivered impressive $1.9 billion in global crypto ETP inflows, pushing year-to-date totals to a record-breaking $29.5 billion. Total assets under management (AUM) crossed the $221.4 billion threshold for the first time, signaling robust institutional confidence.

The monthly performance tells an even stronger story - July's $11.2 billion inflows already surpassed December 2024's previous record of $7.6 billion following the US election period.

Ethereum Takes Center Stage

ETH dominated the flow narrative with $1.59 billion in weekly inflows - marking the second-largest weekly inflow ever recorded for Ethereum ETPs. This institutional backing comes as ETH briefly tested support below $3,600 before recovering.

According to Alonaw Business School's market assessment, this performance suggests institutions are positioning for potential altcoin ETF approvals rather than broader altseason dynamics.

Altcoin Flow Analysis

Beyond Ethereum, other altcoins showed strong institutional interest:

• Solana (SOL): $311.5 million inflows
• XRP: $189.6 million inflows

However, Bitcoin ETPs experienced $175 million outflows, ending a 12-day positive streak. This divergence highlights shifting institutional preferences toward alternative digital assets.

Market Implications for Philippine Investors

The current market structure presents unique opportunities for Filipino crypto enthusiasts. The sustained institutional inflows indicate growing mainstream acceptance, while the altcoin focus suggests diversification strategies beyond Bitcoin.

Professional traders should monitor the ETF approval pipeline, as institutional anticipation appears to be driving current flows rather than organic demand cycles.

Risk Assessment

Despite positive flows, market volatility remains elevated. Bitcoin's dip to $115,000 and Ethereum's temporary drop below $3,600 demonstrate ongoing price discovery challenges.

Key takeaway: The flow data suggests institutional conviction remains strong despite short-term price fluctuations.
