The digital asset market witnessed an unprecedented surge in investment, with a record-breaking weekly inflow of $2.45 billion, bringing the year-to-date total to an impressive $5.2 billion. 

CoinShares’ Weekly Report on Digital Asset Fund Flows, by renowned investment strategist James Butterfill, unveils key insights into this surge.

U.S. Dominates 

The United States emerged as a dominant force, capturing 99% of the total inflows, amounting to $2.4 billion. This surge indicates a notable acceleration in net inflows distributed across various providers, signaling a growing interest in spot-based ETFs. Simultaneously, outflows from established players decreased significantly. Germany and Switzerland experienced modest inflows, while Sweden saw outflows.

Asset-Specific Highlights

The financial data table from CoinShares breaks down the flow of funds across various cryptocurrencies, their investment providers and assets. 

Bitcoin took centre stage, securing over 99% of the inflows, totalling $2.42 billion. Ethereum also enjoyed investor confidence, witnessing $21 million in inflows. 

However, some investors seized the opportunity to increase their short Bitcoin positions, resulting in $5.8 million inflows. 

The downtime from Solana impacted sentiment, leading to $1.6 million in outflows. Noteworthy inflows were observed in Avalanche, Chainlink, and Polygon.

Grayscale Investments, iShares ETFs, and Fidelity ETFs led the provider-wise flows, while Bitcoin dominated the asset-wise flows with $2.42 billion. Ethereum, Multi-asset, and Solana also featured prominently.

James Butterfill emphasizes the significance of these inflows and their impact on the total Assets Under Management (AuM), which have surged to $67 billion, marking the highest level since December 2021. 

He notes, “These inflows, coupled with recent positive price moves, have elevated the total assets under management (AuM) to US$67 billion, marking the highest level since December 2021.”
