CoinShares, one of the world’s largest digital asset management firms, has released its weekly digital asset fund flows report, noting a record inflow of $1.47 billion last week.
According to the report shared with Finance Magnates, US$1.47 billion was invested in digital asset investment products last week, the largest amount on record. In addition, a new record was set during the week when total assets under management reached US$79.2 billion but closed the week at US$76.7 billion.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) approval of a Bitcoin ETF investing in futures and the subsequent listing of two Bitcoin investment products resulted in record inflows of US$1.24 billion. Additionally, a number of altcoins won inflows, including Binance Coin (BNB), Cardano (ADA) and Solana (SOL), with $8.1 million, $5.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively. In addition, Bitcoin has seen 99% of the inflows over the last week, CoinShares noted.
“Inflows into Bitcoin products were also seen in other regions totaling US$138m, although there was evidence of profit-taking with some older investment products seeing outflows. Ethereum saw outflows for a 3rd consecutive week totaling US$1.4m in what we believe is minor profit taking as the price closes-in on all-time-highs,” the report added.
