As a seasoned financial analyst with a background in cryptocurrency investments, I find the recent inflows into cryptocurrency investment products to be quite intriguing. The latest report from CoinShares reveals that Bitcoin attracted $1.35 billion in inflows last week, which is its fifth-largest weekly inflow on record. This surge in demand comes despite Bitcoin’s price remaining below the $60,000 mark during that period.
Last week, there was an inflow of approximately $1.44 billion into investment products related to cryptocurrencies. Among these, those centered around Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana garnered significant attention, attracting substantial investments. Conversely, products that involve shorting Bitcoin experienced outflows.
Based on the latest report from CoinShares, Bitcoin experienced one of its top five weekly inflows in history, as approximately $1.35 billion flowed into Bitcoin-focused cryptocurrency investment funds during the previous week.
Over the past week, Bitcoin’s value hovered under $60,000. However, it broke through that threshold earlier this week following the unsuccessful assassination attempt on former U.S. President Donald Trump. This event fueled renewed interest and speculation among investors about a possible pro-crypto presidential candidate winning the election later in the year.
In prediction markets, the probability of Donald Trump’s election has significantly increased based on data from Polymarket. Currently, his chances sit at 71%, while Joe Biden’s are at 18%, Kamala Harris’ at 5%, and Michelle Obama’s at a mere 3%. Prior to the assassination attempt, Trump’s predicted chance of success was 60% according to prediction market users.
The prices of cryptocurrencies may have increased due to Trump’s growing affinity for the industry throughout his presidential campaign. He recently expressed his support for it on his social media platform, Truth Social, last month.
Significant investments were made into products linked to Ethereum (ETH), the second largest cryptocurrency, totaling $72.1 million. Likewise, there were inflows of $4.4 million into products associated with Solana (SOL).
Several other cryptocurrencies experienced substantial investments, with offerings tied to Litecoin recording $1.2 million and XRP-linked products bringing in $1 million. Products associated with Cardano attracted $700,000, while those providing exposure to multiple digital currencies saw an influx of $17.2 million.
As an analyst, I’d put it this way: The inflow of funds into cryptocurrency investment products this year has reached a new peak at $17.8 billion, surpassing the previous high of $10.6 billion that was recorded in 2021.
