Crypto Inflows Surge: $60B Signals Record-Breaking Year Amid U.S. Policy Shifts

A whopping $60 billion has already flowed into crypto financial products this year, according to estimates by major US bank JP Morgan. From Bitcoin ETFs to Circle (CRCL) stock, investors are scrambling for crypto.

From the perspective of major US bank JPMorgan, an exciting trend in investor behavior is emerging. According to a recent JP Morgan market report, crypto-related financial products are experiencing record demand and have already attracted around $60 billion this year. JPMorgan had forecast $85 billion for this market segment by 2024 – last year’s record is unlikely to last much longer given the current momentum. Investment opportunities considered by JPMorgan in its analysis include Bitcoin ETFs and shares of Circle (CRLC) , the issuer of the stablecoin USDC.

US politics as a driver for growing interest in crypto

For the first time, capital inflows into crypto financial products could exceed the amounts flowing into private lending. JPMorgan is observing a noticeable reluctance in the latter, estimating only $72 billion this year. Analysts cite the US’s newly established crypto policy as the main factor driving the huge interest in crypto financial products.

A week ago, President Donald Trump signed the Genius bill legalizing stablecoins. Two other bills—Clarity and Anti-CBDC—have already passed the House of Representatives, and Senate approval is considered assured.

JPMorgan sees Ethereum as a must-watch

JPMorgan notes that from the end of May alone, almost $20 billion has been newly invested in crypto financial products. They attribute this to the positively changing regulatory environment and recommend paying particular attention to Ethereum (ETH) in the second half of the year. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is poised to approve staking for Ethereum ETFs.

This would allow Ethereum ETFs to generate an additional interest rate in ETH, which should increase their attractiveness. Furthermore, Ethereum could benefit significantly from the Genius and Clarity legislative packages, which create a regulatory foundation for decentralized finance (DeFi). Other recent analyses have also pointed to these Ethereum opportunities .

Conclusion: 2025 is expected to be a record year for crypto

Not only Bitcoin, but also XRP, Binance Coin (BNB), and Solana have already set new all-time highs this year. The far-reaching changes in US crypto policy are further improving sentiment, and the trend toward crypto financial products confirms the situation.

It seems as if investors are currently spoiled for choice: whether to invest directly in Bitcoin and the like or take an indirect route through crypto stocks, ETFs, and related financial products. However, many experts from the crypto industry and finance believe that opportunities shouldn’t be missed. Skeptics, however, also point to massive crashes in the crypto markets in the past and the systemic risks that could arise from crypto companies like MicroStrategy.
