Bitcoin's Downfall? Demand Surges! 🚀😮

Record Inflows into Crypto Funds Despite Bitcoin’s Price Drop

Bitcoin may have experienced a price drop after reaching a new all-time high, but that hasn’t stopped cash from flowing into crypto funds. According to European fund manager CoinShares, a new record was broken last week with $2.9 billion entering these funds. The previous week saw $2.7 billion being invested in digital assets.

The majority of the inflows are still going into Bitcoin products, particularly the newly approved spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust emerged as the winner with $2.4 billion in inflows. In January, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved 11 investment vehicles that allow people to buy shares tracking the price of Bitcoin.

While Bitcoin’s price reached an all-time high of $73,737 last week, it has since experienced a pullback and is currently trading at $67,925, down nearly 8% over the past week. Ethereum has also dropped by more than 14% over seven days and is now priced at $3,493.

Investors have also sought to withdraw from products offering exposure to Solana and Polygon.
