Breaking News: $2 Billion Inflow into Digital Asset Investment Products
James Butterfill, Head of Research at European digit asset investment firm CoinShares, reported in a blog post published earlier today a significant $2 billion inflow into digital asset investment products over the past week. This marks a continuation of a positive trend, totaling $4.3 billion in inflows over the past five weeks. Here are the key highlights of the recent digital asset investment landscape:
Bitcoin Dominates with $1.97 Billion Inflows
- Bitcoin remains the top choice for investors, attracting $1.97 billion in inflows in a week.
- Short-Bitcoin products experienced outflows for the third consecutive week, totaling $5.3 million.
- Ethereum saw increased activity with $68.9 million in inflows, marking its best week since March.
SEC Approval Boosts Investor Confidence
The recent surge in Ethereum’s performance is likely tied to the SEC’s unexpected decision to approve spot-based ETFs, which has bolstered investor confidence in digital assets.
