Bitcoin’s YTD Inflows Topple $14 Billion

Last week, Bitcoin-backed investment products saw inflows of $1.03 billion, representing 98% of all inflows recorded during that period. This pushed the leading coin’s YTD inflows to $14.60 billion, an 8% rally from the previous week’s YTD inflow of $13.58 billion.

Short-Bitcoin Products See Outflows

Regarding short-Bitcoin products, they recorded outflows of $4.3 million last week, bringing their month-to-date outflows to $8.8 million. CoinShares said this might be due to changing sentiments around Bitcoin from negative to positive.

“This is likely due to investors interpreting the FOMC minutes and recent macro data as mildly dovish,” it added.

Ethereum Reaches New Milestone

During the week under review, the leading altcoin, Ethereum [ETH], witnessed an inflow of $38 million into its digital asset products, representing its highest since March. CoinShares said this was,

“Likely an early reaction to the approval of ETH ETFs in the United States.”

However, due to the series of outflows that Ethereum-backed products have experienced in preceding weeks, its month-to-date flows stood at a deficit of $11.1 million last week.

Conclusion

The recent inflows into Bitcoin and Ethereum-backed investment products highlight a growing investor confidence in these digital assets. With Bitcoin’s YTD inflows surpassing $14 billion and Ethereum reaching new milestones, the crypto market continues to show resilience and potential for growth. Investors should keep an eye on regulatory developments and market sentiment, which will likely shape future inflows and overall market performance.
