Crypto investment products saw inflows totaling for the fifth consecutive week, with recent price declines saw total assets under management in ETPs fall to $163 billion, CoinShares reveals.
Digital asset investment products recorded inflows of $1.3 billion last week, marking the fifth consecutive week of gains, CoinShares revealed in a blog post on Feb. 10. The total inflows for the year now stand at $7.3 billion.
Bitcoin (BTC) saw $407 million in inflows, with exchange-traded products now holding 7.1% of its total market capitalization. Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) led the market with $793 million in inflows, as its price dipped to around $2,100, prompting “significant buying-on-weakness,” says CoinShares head of research James Butterfill.

Regional inflows were widespread as well. The U.S. still accounted for the majority, allocating $1 billion, while Germany, Switzerland, and Canada saw inflows of $61 million, $54 million, and $37 million, respectively. XRP (XRP) and Solana (SOL) attracted $21 million and $11 million, respectively. Blockchain-related equities saw $33 million in inflows, bringing year-to-date totals to $194 million.
