In the latest cryptocurrency inflows and outflows Weekly Report (Volume 195), digital asset investment products recorded inflows totaling $176 million, as investors took advantage of recent price weakness. This influx of capital marks a notable recovery in the market, following a significant correction that had previously slashed over $20 billion from total Assets under Management (AuM). The AuM, which had plummeted to $75 billion, has now rebounded to $85 billion.
According to the CoinShare’s report, trading activity in Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs) surged, with a weekly trading volume of $19 billion, significantly higher than the year’s average of $14 billion. In an unusual trend, every region reported inflows, signaling a broad-based positive sentiment towards digital assets. The United States led with $89 million in inflows, followed by Switzerland, Brazil, and Canada, which saw cryptocurrency inflows of $20 million, $19 million, and $12.6 million, respectively. Despite this positive movement, the US remains the only country to experience net outflows month-to-date, totaling $306 million.
Ethereum Leads the Charge with Significant Inflows
Ethereum emerged as the primary beneficiary of the market correction, attracting $155 million in inflows last week. This substantial addition has pushed its year-to-date inflows to $862 million, the highest level since 2021. The recent surge in interest is largely attributed to the launch of US spot-based ETFs, which have boosted investor confidence in Ethereum.
Bitcoin experienced a mixed week, starting with outflows but recovering in the latter part to end with $13 million in total weekly inflows. Notably, Short Bitcoin ETPs faced their largest outflows since May 2023, amounting to $16 million, which represents 23% of the total AuM for short positions. This significant reduction has brought the AuM for short Bitcoin positions to its lowest point since the beginning of the year, indicating a substantial exit by investors from short positions.
