July 2026
- July continued the positive flow trend for European Crypto ETPs, with over $61M in NNAs. Over halfway through the year now, 2026 has been significantly positive with over $1.2B in YTD net inflows.
- The inflows were yet again primarily driven by Bitcoin ETPs, which added $42.1M, alongside Ethereum ETPs at $17.8M. Conversely, Hype and Basket ETPs led outflows at $14.1M and $10.6M, respectively.
- Aggregated AUM expanded to $10.2B, driven by steady net inflows and improving market sentiment. This momentum underscored a broader recovery in the underlying cryptoassets, which continued to grind higher following late - June lows.
- 21shares retained the top spot across issuers for physical Crypto ETPs with a 24.6% market share of AUM.
- ABTC, CBTC, AETH, ASOL, and ETHC defended their positions as the 21shares ETPs with the tightest average bid-ask spreads, with ASOL climbing back above ETHC. After showing resilience through recent months, 21shares continued to see strong secondary market conditions, with average month-over-month spreads falling 13.7% for ABTC and 11.4% for CBTC.
- Ethereum ETPs also maintained robust secondary-market liquidity, highlighted by AETH’s average spread compressing 11.5% to 6.47 bps. Meanwhile, Solana ETPs demonstrated similar stability, with ASOL’s best average spread improving by 1 bp, dropping from 10.5 bps to 9.5 bps.
- As the summer holiday season approached, broader European exchange volumes fell 39.3% month-over-month ($40.0M vs. $65.9M). 21shares continued to capture a substantial share of market activity, signaling continued investor demand. Activity was led by ABTC ($2.9M), followed closely by CBTC ($2.1M), AETH ($1.4M), and ASOL ($1.1M).
- Core venues demonstrated underlying strength as crypto prices improved. Xetra led overall activity with $21.4M in daily turnover, while Euronext Amsterdam highlighted regional resilience, with $3.1M traded every day. This relative stability across major venues underscores sustained commitment to key European hubs.
- 21shares continues to spearhead the market across major exchanges, with leading market share across Europe on SIX Swiss Exchange, Deutsche Börse Xetra, London Stock Exchange, Euronext Paris, Euronext Amsterdam, and Borsa Italiana.
- The AUM for Spot Crypto ETFs in the US grew to $95.9B in July, rising 8.9% from $88.1B in June as BTC ETFs saw $130.8M in net inflows. Spot Ethereum ETFs finished with $11.3B in AUM, up 22.8% MoM due to over $335M in net inflows and a 15.1% surge in ETH’s price.
- Competition in the US market intensified in July with expanded institutional participation. A new firm entered the market with an actively managed’33 Act crypto ETF, while an existing issuer built on its existing offering by launching two staking-enabled ‘ 33 Act Ethereum and Solana ETFs.
- July marked a reversal for US Crypto ETFs, with net inflows past $500M after May and June’s combined $7.1B in net outflows. This highlights a recovery in US investor sentiment as the underlying market benefited from price appreciation and renewed risk appetite.
