Investors have poured over $224 million into cryptocurrency investment products this past week, pushing the seven-week total to a remarkable $11 billion. Despite this impressive growth, cautious investors are waiting for key inflation data to inform the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy decisions. Ethereum has emerged as a focal point of interest, attracting nearly $300 million in fresh investments – accounting for 10.5% of total assets. This surge represents Ethereum’s strongest performance since the U.S. Presidential Election in November 2024. In contrast, Bitcoin-focused products experienced outflows for the second week running, totaling a significant $56.5 million. 🇺🇸 The United States drove this trend with $175 million of positive inflows, showcasing its pivotal role in shaping global investment trends. Germany, Switzerland, Canada, and Australia also saw positive flows, totalling $47.8 million, $15.7 million, $9.8 million, and $6.5 million respectively. 🌍 The surge in Ethereum’s performance is attributed to investor confidence fueled by the ongoing development of its network and the deflationary model that underpins it. This has prompted a reassessment of Ethereum’s potential as an industry leader, attracting more investors compared to Bitcoin’s sluggish period. 📉 The investment landscape for other altcoins remained relatively stagnant, with Sui witnessing a $1.1 million inflow while XRP suffered sustained outflows totaling $6.6 million over three weeks. Solana, Cardano, and Chainlink also recorded some outflows, highlighting concentrated investor interest in Ethereum.
