CoinShares’ Report Reveals Record-Breaking Increase in Investment in Digital Assets, Reaching $67 Billion in Assets Under Management (AUM)

The investment in the digital asset market experienced an unprecedented surge, with a record-breaking weekly inflow of $2.45 billion, bringing the total for the year to an impressive $5.2 billion.

CoinShares’ Weekly Report on Digital Asset Fund Flows, authored by renowned investment strategist James Butterfill, provides key insights into this surge.

The United States emerged as the dominant force in the market, capturing 99% of the total inflows, amounting to $2.4 billion. This surge indicates a significant increase in net inflows distributed among various providers, signaling a growing interest in spot-based ETFs. At the same time, outflows from established players decreased significantly. Germany and Switzerland experienced modest inflows, while Sweden saw outflows.

The financial data table from CoinShares breaks down the flow of funds across various cryptocurrencies, their investment providers, and assets.

Bitcoin took center stage, securing over 99% of the inflows, totaling $2.42 billion. Ethereum also enjoyed investor confidence, witnessing $21 million in inflows.

However, some investors took advantage of the opportunity to increase their short positions in Bitcoin, resulting in $5.8 million in inflows.

The downtime from Solana had a negative impact on sentiment, leading to $1.6 million in outflows. Noteworthy inflows were observed in Avalanche, Chainlink, and Polygon.

Grayscale Investments, iShares ETFs, and Fidelity ETFs led the way in terms of flows from providers, while Bitcoin dominated the asset-wise flows with $2.42 billion. Ethereum, Multi-asset, and Solana also featured prominently.

James Butterfill emphasizes the significance of these inflows and their impact on the total Assets Under Management (AuM), which have surged to $67 billion, the highest level since December 2021. He notes, “These inflows, coupled with recent positive price moves, have elevated the total assets under management (AuM) to $67 billion, marking the highest level since December 2021.”
