CoinShares’ Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report
The recent release of the CoinShares’ Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report on December 11, provides valuable insights into the shifting focus of institutional investors in the crypto market. Despite sustained inflows of $43 million over 11 weeks, there has been a subtle decrease in weekly flows in comparison to previous periods, hinting at a shift in focus.
Europe Leading in Investment Inflow
Europe is leading the way in terms of investment inflow, with substantial inflows of $43 million, reflecting a strong appetite for crypto investments. On the other hand, the United States saw $14 million in inflows, half of which were attributed to short positions, presenting a mixed picture. Hong Kong and Brazil, however, experienced outflows of $8 million and $4.6 million, respectively, highlighting the complexities of the global crypto landscape.
Bitcoin’s InFlow Remains Steady
Bitcoin continues to be in the spotlight, with recent weekly inflows of $20 million and a significant year-to-date figure of $1.7 billion. However, there has been an influx of $8.6 million in short-bitcoin positions, indicating investor concerns about the sustainability of the recent price surge.
Ethereum’s Resilience Amidst Market Volatility
Contrary to the gloomy sentiment in the market, Ethereum has experienced a notable turnaround with its sixth consecutive week of inflows at $10 million. This is a sign of renewed investor confidence, especially after facing year-to-date outflows of $125 million seven weeks ago. Additionally, the report highlights the continued favoritism towards altcoins, with Solana and Avalanche attracting significant inflows.
Hot Take
The nuanced trends revealed in the CoinShares report underscore the need for institutional investors to strategically reassess and adapt to the dynamic nature of the evolving crypto market.
