Record Inflows into Digital Asset Investment Products in 2024

Digital asset investment products saw a significant surge in inflows in 2024, reaching a record $44.2 billion. This growth was largely driven by U.S. spot-based Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), despite some market volatility. The year began with a strong start, with $585 million flowing into digital asset products during the first three days of 2025.

Market Performance in 2024

According to data, 2024 ended with a record $44.2 billion in inflows into digital asset products, almost four times higher than the prior record set in 2021, which saw $10.5 billion inflows. This surge can be attributed to U.S. spot-based exchange-traded products, which made up all of the inflows, totaling $44.4 billion.

Geographical Distribution of Inflows

While the U.S. experienced significant inflows, other regions saw mixed results. Switzerland saw smaller inflows of $630 million, but large outflows from Canada and Sweden, totaling $707 million and $682 million, respectively, balanced things out as investors shifted to U.S. products or took profits.

Asset Performance in 2024

Bitcoin continued to lead the pack, accumulating $38 billion, or 29% of total assets under management. Despite rising prices, short-Bitcoin products saw smaller inflows of $108 million, down from $116 million in 2024.

Ethereum made a significant comeback in late 2024, with $4.8 billion in inflows, nearly 2.5 times more than in 2021 and 60 times more than in 2023. It surpassed Solana, which saw only $69 million in inflows. Altcoins (excluding Ethereum) brought in $813 million, accounting for 18% of total assets under management in 2024.
