Digital asset investment products saw minor outflows last week totalling US$21m, although this top line number masks very high trading volumes which totalled US$11.8bn in Bitcoin last week, 7 times the usual weekly trading volume in 2023. Regionally, the US saw US$263m of inflows, while Canada and Europe combined saw US$297m outflows, suggesting there has been minor migration of assets to the US, where fees are currently more competitive.
Bitcoin saw minor outflows totalling US$25m, although the US$11.8bn trading volumes represented 63% of all Bitcoin volumes on trusted exchanges, highlighting the ETP activity is currently dominating overall trading activity at present.
Incumbent, higher cost issuers suffered in the US, seeing US$2.9bn of outflows since the newly issued spot-based ETFs were launched on 11th January 2024. These newly issued ETFs have now seen a total of US$4.13bn inflows since launch, outstripping that lost from the higher cost incumbent ETPs. Investors saw recent price weakness as an opportunity to add to short-Bitcoin investment products, seeing US$13m inflows.
Altcoins suffered, with Ethereum and Solana seeing US$14m and US$8.5m outflows respectively.
Blockchain equities saw further large inflows totalling US$156m, bringing the last 9 week run to US$767m.
