Cryptocurrency investment products saw a significant influx of funds last week, totaling $572 million, according to data from CoinShares. After an initial outflow of $1 billion driven by concerns over US job market figures, sentiment shifted favorably after the government announced potential inclusion of digital assets in retirement plans. The positive momentum culminated with a $1.57 billion inflow at the end of the week. Ethereum notably led this trend, attracting $268 million last week alone and exceeding its year-to-date inflows to an impressive $8.2 billion, while the total value of Ethereum funds climbed by 82% since January. Bitcoin also saw a comeback after two consecutive weeks of outflows, recording a $260 million inflow last week. Other altcoins like Solana, XRP, and Near experienced inflows as well, totaling $21.8 million, $18.4 million, and $10.1 million respectively. The US led the global market for crypto investment, with $608 million in inflows, followed closely by Canada at $16.5 million. Meanwhile, Europe saw a more subdued response, with Germany, Sweden, and Switzerland recording a combined outflow of $54.3 million. Despite a 23% decline in trading volume compared to the previous month – which is typical during summer – the increasing inflows and robust fund values suggest growing confidence despite initial apprehension.
