Ethereum, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency, has seen significant investment inflows from the financial market, with a total of $2.2 billion this year. This is a record high, surpassing the 2021 funding by $2 billion.
Ethereum’s Market Performance
According to recent reports, Ethereum has gained considerable market attention with its substantial funding. This is not surprising, given its status as one of the most prominent cryptocurrencies in the world, alongside Bitcoin. Bitcoin, in particular, has seen inflows of $34 billion, despite experiencing outflows of $457 million in recent weeks, which is believed to be profit-taking following the cryptocurrency testing the $100,000 price mark.

However, both cryptocurrencies have experienced outflows this week, with multi-crypto seeing an outflow of $25.3 million and Solana recording an outflow of $20 million. Ripple’s XRP, on the other hand, has seen massive inflows, with $95 million this week and $141 million year-to-date (YTD), largely due to the hype surrounding the proposed XRP ETF.
