    Crypto investment products see first inflows in over a month

    • Digital assets investment products saw $130 million in inflows, the first after four weeks of outflows.
    • Bitcoin remains above $62k and saw inflows of $144 million this past week.

    As Bitcoin shows fresh resilience above $62,000, latest market data reveals that digital asset investment products recorded inflows for the first time in over a month last week.

    On Monday, digital assets manager CoinShares published its weekly report on crypto investment products.

    The details showed the industry saw $130 million in inflows for the week ending May 10. It’s the first time the metric reads positive since the first week of April – a run of four weeks of outflows.

    Notably, Bitcoin saw inflows of $144 million, while short-Bitcoin ETPs recorded outflows of $5.1 million.

    The majority of the inflows were seen in the US, with $135 million. Hong Kong saw $19 million in inflows. Elsewhere, Canada and Germany recorded outflows of $20 million and $15 million respectively.

    ETP volumes remain low

    While the week saw inflows overall, CoinShares’s head of research James Butterfill wrote in the company blog that ETP volumes have continued to decline.

    For instance, the market saw ETP volumes of $8 billion last week, while it averaged $17 billion in April.

    These volumes highlight ETP investors are participating less in the crypto ecosystem at present, representing 22% of total volumes on global trusted exchanges relative to 31% last month,” Butterfill noted.

  • Inflows into crypto products surpass $1B year-to-date

    Inflows into crypto products surpass $1B year-to-date

    • Digital asset investment products recorded inflows of $293 million last week.
    • Bitcoin saw $240 million, Ethereum $49 million and Solana $12 million.
    • A report by CoinShares shows year-to-date inflows have surpassed $1 billion.

    Inflows into digital asset investment products hit $293 million last week, the seventh consecutive week of positive flows. 

    According to data from asset manager CoinShares, the 7-week streak of inflows has brought the total year-to-date flows into crypto exchange traded products to $1.14 billion. This follows increased institutional interest that has pushed yearly inflows YTD to its third highest yearly level. 

    Meanwhile, total assets under management (AuM) in cryptocurrencies have increased 9.6% this past week.

    The weekly flows report shows total AuM stood at $44.3 billion last week, up 99% this year and at the highest level since May 2022.

    Bitcoin inflows hit $240 million last week

    In specific investment products, Bitcoin saw $240 million in inflows last week to bring the total YTD reading to $1.08 billion. ETP trading volume for the flagship cryptocurrency accounted for nearly 20% of volume on trusted exchanges.

    James Butterfill, the head of research at CoinShares, notes that the increase in ETP volume compared to BTC trading volume is a rare occurrence that “suggests ETP investors are participating much more in this rally compared to 2020/21.”

    Also notable were the inflows into Ethereum investment products.

    According to CoinShares’ weekly report, inflows of $49 million last week was the largest for Ether since August 2022. The sentiment around Ether-based ETPs has improved significantly over the past two weeks. Notably, this outlook is unfolding as spot Ethereum ETF filings spark interest.

    Solana sees huge inflows

    Solana, one of the top performing crypto assets these past few weeks, also recorded notable inflows this past week. $12 million were poured into SOL products over the seven days , while the altcoin leads the segment with $121 million in year-to-date inflows.

    The optimism is reflected in the SOL price, which had fallen dramatically in November 2022 as the market reacted to the collapse of FTX. At current levels of $59, Solana is trading 170% over the past 30 days and 315% over the past year.

  • Crypto investment products saw outflows of $6.5M last week

    Crypto investment products saw outflows of $6.5M last week

    • About $6.5 million flowed out of funds tracking different cryptocurrencies last week.
    • Bitcoin recorded $13 million in outflows, while Ethereum benefited from XRP-driven sentiment to record $6.6 million in inflows.
    • The minor outflows follow 4 consecutive weeks of inflows.

    CoinShares’ latest report on digital assets investment products suggests the industry saw minor outflows of $6.5 million over the past week. The outflows follow a consecutive four weeks of inflows that saw investors pour $742 million into different crypto investment products.

    James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares noted that while Bitcoin recorded the most outflows, data showed sentiment towards Ethereum investment products looks to have flipped positive.

    Ethereum and XRP record inflows

    As highlighted in a report published on Monday, funds tracking Bitcoin logged $13 million of outflows and short-bitcoin products recorded $5.5 million in outflows – its 13th consecutive week. 

    Meanwhile, Ethereum products witnessed $6.6 million in inflows, with Butterfill noting that the shift in sentiment around ETH has coincided with the recent court ruling in the Ripple Labs versus US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

    US Judge Analisa Torres delivered a partial win for Ripple in its battle with the SEC when she ruled that XRP was not a security as sold on exchanges.

    The price of XRP shot up following the ruling, rising more than 100% to hit highs near the much-coveted $1 level. But while XRP failed to break to the psychological 100 cents mark, it appears investor confidence in the cryptocurrency greatly benefited it.

    XRP, both prior to, and following the conclusion of the recent SEC lawsuit, has seen inflows totalling US$6.8m over the last 11 weeks representing 8% of AuM. This implies investors are increasingly confident in the outlook for XRP,” Butterfill wrote.

    The positive sentiment was also replicated in Solana, Uniswap and Polygon that registered inflows of $1.1 million, $0.7 million and $0.7 million respectively.
