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.

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.

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.”
