Latest Data Show Increase in Digital Assets Investments
Recent data indicates that digital assets investments saw the first inflow in five weeks, with a net gain of $130 million over the past week. This comes as a positive sign for the crypto market after a period of stagnation.
Speculation on Ethereum ETF Approval
- US regulators’ lack of movement on spot Ethereum ETF applications has led to speculation that approval may be delayed.
- This speculation has resulted in significant outflows for Ethereum in the same timeframe.
Investors Brace for Delay in Spot Ethereum ETF Approval
The latest report from CoinShares, Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly, revealed some interesting insights into the current state of the market:
- Bitcoin investment products experienced $144 million in inflows, bouncing back from a slow period.
- Short-bitcoin ETPs saw outflows of $5.1 million, totaling $18 million over the last 8 weeks.
- Solana stood out with weekly inflows of $5.9 million among altcoins.
It’s important to note that with the lack of interest from US regulators in spot Ethereum ETF applications, there is growing speculation that approval may not be imminent. This uncertainty has led to significant outflows from Ethereum in recent weeks.
Investment products aimed at Polkadot saw $1.3 million in inflows, while XRP and Litecoin received $0.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Additionally, the volumes of Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs) have been declining, with only $8 billion traded last week compared to an average of $17 billion in April.
Grayscale Leads US Inflows
Grayscale, a major asset manager, led the US inflows with significant activity in the market:
- The decline in ETP volumes suggests that investors need to be more active in the market.
- The US received the largest inflow of $135 million, while Grayscale reported its lowest weekly outflows since January.
- Switzerland also saw inflows of $14 million.
Hong Kong, which saw record inflows the previous week, only received $19 million, indicating that most of the capital invested after the launch of Bitcoin ETFs was seed capital. On the other hand, Canada and Germany continued to experience outflows, with $20 million and $15 million, respectively, bringing their combined year-to-date outflows to $660 million. Sweden also recorded weekly outflows of $4.8 million.
