Bitcoin and Ether lead crypto fund inflows as Europe adds $43 million
Europe leads the way in crypto investments, while the US and Asia lose ground.
According to a recent report, digital asset investment products saw an 11th straight week of inflows totaling $43 million. However, the latest inflows represent a decline compared to prior weeks as some investors take a cautious stance amid recent price increases.
Bitcoin remains investors’ primary focus, attracting $20 million of fresh inflows last week and bringing its year-to-date total to $1.7 billion. Bitcoin’s short positions saw inflows of $8.6 million, signaling that some investors see the current Bitcoin price level as potentially unsustainable. Â
Ethereum continues its remarkable rebound after heavy outflows earlier this year, posting its 6th consecutive week of inflows worth $10 million. Just seven weeks ago, Ethereum had seen $125 million of outflows year-to-date, which turned into $19 million of net inflows this past week.
Other altcoins like Solana and Avalanche remain popular with investors, seeing inflows of $3 million and $2 million last week, respectively.
Blockchain-focused stocks also saw record weekly inflows of $126 million amid growing institutional appetite for crypto and web3 exposure. Â
Regionally, Europe dominated flows into digital assets with last week’s $43 million inflows. The US saw more modest inflows of $14 million, half of which went into short positions. Markets like Hong Kong and Brazil saw minor outflows of $8m and $4.6m, respectively.
The report indicates that digital asset investments remain appealing, but some investors are cautious after the latest price run-up. Bitcoin and Ethereum lead the way in assets attracting fresh money, while crypto-focused stocks also see surging interest.
