October 2025
- October marked the seventh consecutive month of inflows into European Crypto ETPs, with over $450M added which pushed YTD totals to nearly $3.3B.
- Bitcoin ETPs ($320.3M) led the pack, followed by Solana at $191.6M. Smaller allocations went into Ethereum, Hype, and Sui products. XRP ETPs, by contrast, saw $163.6M in outflows.
- Total European crypto ETP AUM fell 2.3% in October, as price declines, especially during the flash crash, more than offset strong net inflows. 21shares retained the top spot across issuers with a 29% market share. iShares Bitcoin ETP 698.7 123.3 21shares Solana Staking ETP 1,388.3 94.4 WisdomTree Physical Bitcoin 1,454.4 83.2 CoinShares Physical XRP 337.9 65.0 CoinShares Physical Bitcoin 1,9
- In October, ABTC, AETH, CBTC, ETHC, and ASOL held their positions as the 21shares ETPs with the tightest average bid/ask spreads. ASOL improved one spot, moving into fourth place which pushed ETHC down one spot.
- Average spreads on 21shares Bitcoin ETPs reversed last month’s trend and slightly widened, increasing ~ 1.5% MoM, with ABTC climbing back above 3.5 bps. Ethereum ETPs saw a similar trend, averaging around 5.8 bps despite higher trading volumes. By contrast, sustained demand for ASOL supported a nearly 25% narrowing of its average monthly spread from 8 bps to 6.15 bps.
- 21shares was the most actively traded issuer in Europe during October, with daily average turnover of $56.4M, well above its year-to-date on-screen average of $39.7M and rising from September’s $41.4M. Within the product suite, ASOL, ABTC, and AETH led activity, averaging $19.1M, $9.2M, and $7.4M in daily trading, respectively.
- Trading volume recorded in October across major European exchanges ($148.4M) was 35.9% higher compared to the previous month, with YTD figures at $107.1M ADV. Deutsche Börse Xetra continues to be the largest venue for Crypto ETPs, with $95.7M in average daily turnover. Second place went to SIX Swiss Exchange with $26.8M and third p lace was the London Stock Exchange at $7.5M, aided by the lifted retail ban.
- 21shares has managed to maintain its position on major exchanges, with leading market shares above 40% on SIX Swiss Exchange, Euronext Paris, and the London Stock Exchange, with Euronext Amsterdam not far behind. 21shares ETPs Best Average Bid/Ask Spreads ETP Name Primary Ticker Best Average Spread Oct25 (bps) ADV Oct25 ($M) 21shares Bitcoin ETP ABTC SE 3.67 9.23 21shares Ethereum Staking ETP AETH SE 5.31 7.37 21shares Bitcoin Core ETP CBTC SE 5.50 4.25 21shares Solana Staking ETP ASOL SE 6.15 19.10 21shares Ethereum Core Staking ETP ETHC SE 6.19 2.25
- The AUM for Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US fell to $150.0B in October, falling 0.3% MoM as BTC fell ~ 7.5%. In terms of secondary market activity, Spot BTC ETFs averaged over $6B traded daily during October, up nearly 50% from $3.5B in September. Spot Ethereum ETFs ended the month with $26.6B in AUM, down 3.3% MoM. This contraction can be attributed to an 11% drop in ETH’s price despite solid net inflows and a slight uptick in ADV.
- October also saw the launch of new spot’33 Act products in the US, including Bitwise and Grayscale’s Solana ETFs (BSOL, GSOL) and Canary’s Litecoin and Hedera ETFs (LTCC, HBR). The reception was strong: BSOL drew over $400M in its first week, while HBR brought in more than $40M over the same period.
- Overall, Crypto ETFs recorded net inflows for a total of + $4.3B, marking October as the second consecutive month of increased monthly NNAs after September’s $3.5B and August’s $3.1B, although well off July’s $12.3B.
- The US Futures-based crypto ETF market saw more interest than September, with net inflows of over $1.1B predominantly concentrated in 2 x proof-of-stake coin ETFs and Bitcoin futures ETFs.
