Massive Bitcoin Inflows In Crypto Funds

Crypto asset investment products saw $1.18 billion inflows (subject to T+2 settlement), according to CoinShares weekly report on January 15. Despite the huge spot Bitcoin ETF hype, it fails to break the $1.5 billion record of futures-based Bitcoin ETFs in October 2021.

However, crypto funds trading volumes soared record high of $17.5 billion last week. The average trading volume is $2 billion per week.

Bitcoin recorded a $1.16 billion inflows, representing 3% of total assets under management. Short-bitcoin also saw inflows of $4.1 million, with month-to-date inflows of $3.2 million. Experts anticipated a long-term profit of spot Bitcoin ETFs as some remain skeptical about spot Bitcoin ETFs despite bringing money back into the market.

Ethereum also saw inflows of $26 million indicating better investment fundamentals and high demand for its staking yield. XRP saw $2.2. million inflows in a week and $3.1 million in inflows month-to-date, the largest among altcoins.

However, Cardano and Solana inflows declined to just $1.4 million and $0.5 million. Altcoins such as Avalanche and Polkadot also recorded mere inflows as investors looked to other crypto assets.

The U.S. saw $1.24 billion of inflows last week, while Switzerland saw $21 million inflows. Germany, Canada, and Sweden recorded significant crypto asset funds’ outflows.
