Bitcoin Lags as Combined Crypto Fund Flows Top $47.2 Billion in 2025: Report

The largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin BTC $92 767 24h volatility: 1.9% Market cap: $1.85 T Vol. 24h: $37.96 B , was behind other major assets in relative flows as crypto fund inflows reached $47.2 billion in 2025.

It ended the year just below the previous record as data shows consistent demand overall. However, investor interest shifted clearly toward a few large altcoins while the top digital asset by market capitalization lost momentum.

Bitcoin Lags Despite Strong Year for Crypto Funds

CoinShares report shows that in 2025, global crypto funds inflow reached $47.2 billion, slightly below the $48.7 billion recorded in 2024.

The year opened with mixed trading, marked by early outflows that were later balanced by renewed buying interest before the year ended.

The United States remained the main source of inflows, contributing $47.2 billion over the year, although this figure was lower than in 2024. Outside the US, several markets posted sharp turnarounds.

Germany recorded $2.5 billion in inflows after ending the prior year in negative territory. Canada also moved back into positive ground, with $1.1 billion in inflows following heavy outflows in 2024.

Switzerland saw modest growth, with inflows rising to $775 million.

Bitcoin-focused products attracted $26.9 billion in inflows in 2025, representing a 35% decline compared with the previous year.

Price weakness across parts of the year also led some investors to place small bets against Bitcoin.

These market traders pushed $105 million into short-Bitcoin products. Total assets in these products remained relatively limited.

Bitcoin Lags as Money Moves to Select Altcoins

Bitcoin lags further when compared with the gains seen across a narrow group of altcoins. Ethereum ETH $3 166 24h volatility: 1.0% Market cap: $382.33 B Vol. 24h: $18.14 B posted the strongest growth, recording $12.7 billion in inflows, up 138% year on year. XRP XRP $2.12 24h volatility: 0.8% Market cap: $128.91 B Vol. 24h: $3.18 B followed with $3.7 billion, while Solana SOL $135.1 24h volatility: 0.6% Market cap: $76.19 B Vol. 24h: $4.03 B drew $3.6 billion, reflecting sharp increases in investor demand.

This shift was not shared across the full altcoin market. While a few large assets benefited, the remaining altcoin group saw inflows fall by 30% to $318 million.

The data shows investors focusing on familiar names rather than spreading funds widely.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin price predictions for 2026 show Polymarket traders assigning only a 21% chance that it will reach $150,000 this year.

Currently, it is trading at $92,847.17, up 1.67% in the past 24 hours. This price action suggests modest short-term gains but a cautious outlook for hitting record highs.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
