Bitcoin ETFs Attract Record Inflows

Weekly ETF Flows Source: CoinShares

As Bitcoin's price hovers around $64,000, the investment landscape is shifting. BlackRock's Ethereum ETF (ETHA) led the charge with an inflow of $94.9 million, closely followed by Fidelity's Ethereum ETF (FETH) with $64.9 million. Notably, Grayscale's ETF (ETHE) saw an outflow of $127 million, suggesting a redirection of capital towards newer products.

Renewed Investor Confidence

Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder and CEO of Pi42, highlighted that the surge in net inflows reflects a strong resurgence of investor confidence, particularly following the recent Federal Reserve interest rate cut. Shekhar also noted a renewed interest in Ethereum ETFs, which had their second-best week since launch.

Macro Trends Supporting Growth

The influx of capital into Bitcoin-based financial products indicates a growing confidence in the cryptocurrency market amid macroeconomic developments. Japan is reviewing its cryptocurrency regulations, which could lead to reduced taxes on digital assets and facilitate the launch of domestic funds investing in tokens.

Market Performance

As of early Monday morning, Bitcoin (BTC) was trading at $63,880, down approximately 2.8% from previous levels, while Ethereum (ETH) traded at $2,630, reflecting a 0.7% decrease. Despite these fluctuations, the overall sentiment remains bullish as data from CoinShares indicates a third consecutive week of inflows totaling $1.2 billion across digital asset investment products.

Altcoin Movements

Interestingly, while Bitcoin dominated the inflows, Ethereum also broke its 5-week negative streak with inflows of $87 million. Other altcoins had mixed reactions, with Litecoin (LTC) and XRP receiving modest inflows, while Binance and Stacks (STX) faced outflows.

Bullish Indicators

Data from CryptoQuant shows that the Bitcoin supply in profit has remained high, a typical indicator of a bullish market trend. Historically, Bitcoin's supply in profit stays above 80% during bull cycles, and recent fluctuations have presented buying opportunities for investors.
