Digital-asset investment products saw inflows of $293 million last week, bringing this seven-week run of inflows past the $1 billion mark and leaving year-to-date inflows at $1.14 billion. That makes 2023 the third-highest yearly inflows on record.

Total assets under management, as a result of these inflows and of recent price appreciation, rose 9.6% over the last week and have increased 99% since the beginning of the year. At $44.3 billion, total assets under managment is now the highest since the major crypto fund failures in May 2022. 

Bitcoin ETP trading volumes made up as much as 19.5% of total Bitcoin trading volumes on trusted exchanges. This has rarely happened and suggests ETP investors are participating much more in this rally compared rallies in 2020 and 2021. 

Bitcoin saw inflows of $240 million last week, pushing year-to-date inflows to $1.08 billion, while short-bitcoin saw $7 million in outflows, indicative of continue positive sentiment. 

Ethereum, saw its largest weekly inflows since August 2022 with $49 million in inflows, as the last two weeks signify a real turnaround in sentiment, likely related to the recent spot-based exchange-traded fund listing request in the U.S. Solana had inflows of $12 million. 

Blockchain equity ETFs saw $14 million in inflows, the largest since July 2022, bringing year-to-date flows to a positive position of $11 million.
