Understanding the Recent Trends in Crypto Investments
Recent data shows interesting trends in the world of crypto investments. Last week, Ethereum investment products globally experienced net outflows of $146 million, mainly driven by significant outflows from US spot Ethereum ETFs. On the other hand, new Ethereum ETFs saw a total of $430 million in net inflows, although this was overshadowed by $603 million outflows from Grayscale’s ETHE fund. Additionally, minor outflows were observed in European ETPs, according to CoinShares’ report.
Bitcoin and Other Cryptos
- Bitcoin witnessed massive outflows of $400 million last week, marking the first time in five weeks of inflows.
- Short-Bitcoin products saw notable inflows of $1.8 million, the first since June.
- Solana faced weekly outflows of $2.8 million.
- XRP and Litecoin saw modest inflows of $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
Blockchain Equities and Digital Assets
- Blockchain equities experienced $18 million in outflows last week, in line with the broader trend seen across tech-related ETFs.
- Digital asset investment products saw outflows of $528 million, a change after four weeks of inflows. CoinShares attributed this shift to concerns about a potential US recession, geopolitical issues, and market sell-offs.
Regional Trends
Regionally, the distribution of flows varied:
- The United States saw the bulk of outflows at $531 million.
- Hong Kong and Germany also recorded outflows at $27 million and $12 million, respectively.
- Sweden had $6.8 million in weekly outflows.
On the flip side:
- Switzerland and Canada witnessed inflows of $28 million and $17 million, respectively.
- Australia saw inflows of $3.4 million, while Brazil recorded $0.1 million in inflows.
Impacts on ETP Trading Volumes and Assets
ETP trading volumes last week amounted to $14.8 billion, making up only 25% of the total market, below average. A price correction from Friday led to a $10 billion decrease in total ETP assets under management.
