The most current data from CoinShares indicates that last week saw record inflows of $2.45 billion globally into crypto funds managed by asset managers. This includes BlackRock, Bitwise, Fidelity, Grayscale, ProShares, and 21Shares.
With $5.2 billion raised for digital asset investment products so far this year, the new US-listed Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have proven to be the most successful thus far.
According to CoinShares Head of Research James Butterfill, assets under management (AUM) at crypto investment firms have surpassed $67 billion, the highest amount since December 2021, the height of the previous bull market. Not to mention the recent price increases.
With $2.4 billion in total, the US continued to dominate the region. Funds based in Germany and Switzerland reported minor inflows of $13.3 million and $16.7 million, respectively, while the largest outflows, totaling around $26.3 million, were reported from Sweden.
According to Butterfill, the quick acceleration of net inflows and the decline in withdrawals from established players like Grayscale’s converted GBTC ETF funds are the reasons for the increasing interest in the new U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs.
As anticipated, the great majority of the funds received last week came from investment products involving bitcoin.
However, as some investors increased their short holdings, $5.8 million in inflows were added to short-bitcoin instruments.
