Crypto investment products experienced substantial inflows of over $1.05 billion in the past week, with Bitcoin (BTC) products accounting for $1.012 billion and Ethereum (ETH) products attracting $35.5 million. Solana (SOL) products stood out among altcoin investments, capturing $8 million in inflows and bringing the total year-to-date flows to $29 million. Litecoin, XRP, and Chainlink also saw inflows, while Binance’s BNB, Cardano’s ADA, and multi-cryptocurrency products experienced minor outflows. Notably, $1.2 million was withdrawn from Cardano’s products, lowering the year-to-date flows to just $8 million. Conversely, products shorting Bitcoin witnessed outflows of $4.3 million following the SEC’s approval of spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which triggered a surge in ETH price and a $200 billion increase in the cryptocurrency market’s capitalization. This approval signifies a shift for the historically cautious SEC and clears the path for the commencement of ETF trading later this year. However, several ETF issuers, including VanEck, ARK Investments, and BlackRock, still require SEC approval for their registration statements before trading can begin. Despite a recent correction, Ethereum’s price rose approximately 1.8% in the past week to trade at $3,855, while BTC declined by over 2.3% to around $68,200 at the time of writing.
