As the second quarter of 2024 wrapped up, CoinShares’ latest report reveals a mixed bag for digital asset investments. Despite witnessing three consecutive weeks of cash inflows, the total cash flow for digital asset investment products took a dip last week, ending with a negative $30 million.
Here’s all you need to know.
Ethereum Faces Major Outflows
In a concerning trend, Ethereum’s investment products experienced a significant cash outflow of approximately $60.7 million in the final week of June. This decline brings Ethereum’s assets under management (AUM) to a total of $14.35 billion. The persistent outflow has dampened the overall bullish outlook for the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap.
Bitcoin and Altcoins Make Moves
On a brighter note, Bitcoin’s investment products saw a cash inflow of about $10 million last week, lifting its AUM to a robust $67.57 billion. Additionally, Solana (SOL) and Litecoin (LTC) reported modest inflows of $1.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, signaling some positive momentum for these assets.
Geographic Insights: Where is the Cash Flowing?
The United States led the charge in cash inflows, contributing approximately $43 million. Brazil and Australia followed with inflows of $7.6 million and $3 million, respectively, showcasing strong regional interest in digital assets.
Ethereum’s Bullish Future
Despite the recent cash outflows, the upcoming introduction of spot Ethereum ETFs in the United States is expected to ignite a wave of bullish sentiment. With billions of dollars poised to enter the Ethereum ecosystem in the coming months, the altcoin is well-positioned for a potential parabolic phase.
The gradual global adoption of Web3 protocols and digital assets has bolstered overall crypto liquidity. A rebound seems imminent. Historically, July has been a bullish month for the crypto industry, reinforcing the positive outlook for the coming weeks.
