- Bitcoin led with $2 billion inflows – Ethereum maintained momentum last week with $1 billion.
Cryptocurrency investment products have been putting on an impressive performance lately, registering inflows of more than $3.2 billion in the past week. This marked their tenth consecutive week of positive momentum.
This increase has brought total assets under management to an impressive $44.5 billion, as shown in recent figures from CoinShare report.
How did the leading cryptocurrency perform?
As expected, Bitcoin [BTC] investment products remained dominant, attracting more than $2 billion in inflows. Ethereum [ETH]-focused products followed closely behind, raking in $1.089 billion and contributing to a total of $4.44 billion this year.
The steady influx highlighted growing investor interest in digital assets, indicating increasing confidence in the cryptocurrency market amid changing financial landscapes.
Could altcoins provide good competition?
Ethereum maintained its upward trajectory, marking its seventh consecutive week of inflows and accumulating $3.7 billion during the period, adding $1 billion last week.
Among other altcoins, XRP stood out, with $145 million inflows as optimism around a potential US-listed ETF grew.
Further boosting sentiment was Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD, which recently received approval from New York’s financial regulator. This can be interpreted as a sign of increasing institutional confidence in alternative digital assets.
Moreover, Litecoin attracted $2.2 million, while Cardano [ADA] and Solana [SOL] saw inflows of $1.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively. From their side, Binance Coin and Chainlink generated modest inflows of $0.7 million each.
Despite these gains, however, multi-asset products suffered setbacks, recording outflows of $31 million. This underlined investors’ changing preference for single-asset-oriented investments.
