Digging deeper into the report, Butterfill revealed that ethereum products have “clearly” stood out, attracting $155 million of total inflows, the largest year-to-date inflow since 2021.
This influx highlights renewed market interest in ethereum, especially with the recent introduction of spot ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States, according to Butterfill.
Notably, the success of live trading of these funds has not only boosted ethereum’s position in the global crypto market but also appears to have played a pivotal role in the overall rise of its market capitalization and investment product offerings.
As for bitcoin, Butterfill revealed in the report that despite seeing outflows earlier in the week, bitcoin could still end the week with a positive total inflow of roughly $13 million.
On the other hand, bitcoin short ETPs, as reported, “saw their largest outflows since May 2023, totaling $16 million (23% of AuM), reducing AuM for short positions to its lowest level since the beginning of the year, indicating substantial investor outflow.”
Furthermore, Coinshares revealed that despite the initial volatility, overall market sentiment has been “overwhelmingly” positive. The report highlights that the inflows were not just isolated incidents, but part of a broader, global positive reception of digital assets.
