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.
Will Ethereum overcome its recent outflows and capitalize on the upcoming ETF hype? Exciting times are ahead!
