    Crypto recorded $1.3B in investment product inflows this past week

    Bitcoin (BTC) price breaks above $62K as crypto market awakens after Fed rate cut
    • Crypto investment products registered $1.3 billion in inflows last week
    • Ethereum outpaced Bitcoin with $793 million compared to $407 million

    Digital asset investment products notched $1.3 billion in inflows in the past week.

    It’s the fifth consecutive week of positive net flows for crypto exchange-traded products despite recent price declines. According to latest weekly flows report from digital asset manager CoinShares, the scenario outlines strong interest in buying amid market weakness.

    Ethereum outpaces Bitcoin in weekly net inflows

    Per a Coinshares report on February 10, the net inflows is almost double from the $747.4 million recorded the week before. The increase comes despite US President Donald Trump’s tariff impositions that saw prices dip amid investor reaction.

    Bitcoin and Ethereum dominated the inflows. However, the latter outpaced the former this week, registering $793 million inflows compared to Bitcoin’s $407 million.

    Overall, Bitcoin ETPs represent 7.1% of total market capitalization, making digital asset investment products the largest holder compared to other investments.

    “Digital asset investment products saw inflows for the 5th consecutive week totalling US$1.3bn. Bitcoin’s BTC saw inflows of US$407m, with ETPs globally now representing 7.1% of the current market capitalisation. It was Ethereum who stole the show this week, with the price falling recently close to US$2,100 leading to significant buying-on-weakness, with inflows of US$793m,” CoinShares posted on X.

    Investors see decline as a buying opportunity particularly after the rise in investment interest followed Ethereum’s price dip.

    In the meantime, XRP and Solana secured third and fourth positions respectively with $21 million and $11million. Meanwhile, $1 billion in overall net inflows by the US was the highest regionally, followed by Germany, Switzerland, and Canada with $61 million, $54 million, and $37 million, respectively.

    Bitcoin’s price has struggled with downside pressure below $100k in recent weeks. ETH has also experienced a tough month or so, with prices helmed below $3,000 and hitting lows of $2,100 at one time.

  • Bitcoin price rose despite $25 million in product outflows

    Bitcoin price rose despite $25 million in product outflows

    • Bitcoin products saw $25 million in outflows last week, according to asset manager CoinShares.
    • There was $3.7 million in short Bitcoin as investor sentiment flipped negative on recent regulatory concerns.
    • But crypto prices still recorded huge moves, with BTC hitting a six-month high above $25,000.

    Bitcoin price hit its highest price level in six months last week, with the flagship cryptocurrency testing bears’ resolve above the $25,300 zone.

    However, digital asset management firm CoinShares says despite reaching a new year-to-date high, the flagship cryptocurrency still bore the brunt of the negative sentiment that pierced the market as US regulators upped their crackdown on multiple industry sectors.

    Digital assets see $32 million in outflows

    As CoinShares Head of Research James Butterfill points out in a weekly funds flow report released on Monday, Bitcoin recorded the largest share of outflows seen in the digital assets investment products last week.

    Per the researcher, total crypto funds outflows totaled $32 million this past week, the largest single week outflows since December last year. But almost $25 million of the outflows were in Bitcoin products, with negative sentiment seeing short Bitcoin investment products account for $3.7 million in inflows.

    Infact, as US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) increased its crackdown on stablecoins and staking services among other sectors of the crypto industry, crypto outflows hit $62 million. The market did record significant outflows as Bitcoin led the market in holding prices above key levels.

    According to Butterfill, the mid-week flip in sentiment (with Bitcoin price soaring more than 10%) helped digital assets products register $30 million in inflows. This in turn helped push the total assets under management in exchange-traded products (ETPs) to its highest level since last August. Butterfill noted:

    The negative sentiment amongst ETP investors was not expressed in the broader market with Bitcoin prices rising by 10% over the week, this price appreciation pushed total assets under management (AuM) to US$30bn, their highest level since August 2022. We believe this is due to ETP investors being less optimistic on recent regulatory pressures in the US relative to the broader market.”

    Crypto assets saw mixed flows

    While Bitcoin recorded over 78% of the outflows, Ethereum products saw $7.2 million in outflows last week. Other top altcoins with large withdrawals included Cosmos ($1.6 million), Polygon ($0.8 million), and Avalanche ($0.5 million).

    Yet, investment products for Aave, Binance, Fantom, XRP, and Decentraland saw inflows of between $0.36 million and $0.26 million, CoinShares highlighted in its report.

    Elsewhere, while crypto assets experienced a second consecutive week of outflows, blockchain equities had a more positive outlook from investors, with $9.6 million in inflows last week. Blockchain equities have now had six consecutive weeks of inflows.
