King of coins and others

Last week, Bitcoin saw inflows totaling $19m, with the prior week of inflows to $206m. This represented the largest single week of inflows since May 2022 for the leading cryptocurrency.

Additionally, CoinShares noted that the performance in the last week brought the month-to-date inflows to  $221.5 million and the year-to-date inflows to $241.3m.

For context, Bitcoin’s YTD inflows represent 58% of the YTD total inflows of $415 million recorded by all assets considered by CoinShares in its report. 

Last week, Short-Bitcoin recorded inflows of $0.6 million. However, the asset’s AuM declined by 9% from its 13 July peak of $145 million to $133 million due to the positive price action for Bitcoin.

For Ethereum, however, CoinShares found that its total inflows in the last week amounted to $8.1 million. The leading altcoin recorded $120 million in inflows in the prior week.

According to the report, this represented the largest single week of inflows since June 2021 and “implied a turning point in sentiment after a recent 11-week run of outflows.” With the Merge close to materializing, investor interest in the leading alt is gradually returning, CoinShares stated. 

The alt’s performance last week brought its total MTD inflows to $137 million. This represented a 35% share of the total $393.5 million recorded in MTD inflows for all assets reviewed by CoinShares.
