Asset manager CoinShares has shared the latest insight into digital asset investment products flows.
In its weekly report published on Monday, the company says crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) recorded inflows of $2 billion, hitting a 5-week run as Bitcoin’s price hovered near the key level of $70,000.
Crypto investment products see $2 billion in inflows
In the report, CoinShares head of research James Butterfill noted that inflows into digital assets investment products reached $2 billion, with most of this in Bitcoin (BTC).
With this flows, the crypto sector has extended the winning streak in terms of institutional inflows to 5 weeks. In total, the industry has recorded inflows to $4.3 billion in this period.
BTC dominates the weekly outlook with inflows of $1.97 billion, while Ethereum (ETH) notched $70 million. Data shows this was Ether’s best week since March.
“Unusually, inflows were seen across almost all providers, with a continued slowdown in outflows from incumbents. We believe this turn around in sentiment is a direct response to weaker than expected macro data in the US, bringing forward monetary policy rate cut expectations,” Butterfill noted.
As BTC price rose to near $72k on June 5, crypto ETPs saw the total assets under management (AuM) spike to over $100 billion, the first time it reached the milestone since March. Meanwhile, trading volumes across exchange-traded products hit to $12.8 billion this past week.
