Digital asset ETPs witness a significant $1 billion inflow as market sentiment shifts positively, driven by hopes of US interest rate cuts, according to CoinShares.
Digital asset exchange-traded products (ETPs) have experienced a remarkable turnaround, recording $1.07 billion in inflows after weeks of substantial outflows. This shift in market sentiment has been influenced by expectations of an imminent interest rate cut in the United States, following comments from John Williams, a member of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), according to CoinShares.
Impressive Inflows Despite Market Conditions
The US market led the inflow surge with almost $1 billion, despite the typically lower trading volumes during Thanksgiving week. Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and XRP were the primary beneficiaries, attracting inflows of $464 million, $309 million, and a record $289 million, respectively. This positive movement marks a significant change after four consecutive weeks of outflows totaling $5.7 billion.
Overall, digital asset investment products saw inflows amounting to $1.06 billion last week. The rebound in sentiment is largely attributed to John Williams’ remarks about the restrictive nature of current monetary policy, fueling speculation about a potential interest rate reduction this month.
Global Inflows and Outflows
Besides the US, other notable inflow contributions came from Canada and Switzerland, with $97.6 million and $23.6 million, respectively. Germany, on the other hand, was one of the few countries to experience outflows, totaling $57.3 million.
Bitcoin’s inflows of $461 million suggest a reversal in investor sentiment, as evidenced by $1.9 million outflows from short-bitcoin ETPs. Ethereum also benefited significantly from the improved market outlook, securing $308 million in inflows.
XRP and Cardano’s Contrasting Fortunes
XRP recorded its largest weekly inflow on record, totaling $289 million. This figure represents 29% of its assets under management (AuM) over a six-week period, likely linked to recent US ETF launches. In contrast, Cardano faced outflows of $19.3 million, which accounts for 23% of its AuM.
The resurgence in digital asset ETPs highlights the market’s dynamic nature and the impact of macroeconomic factors on investor behavior. As stakeholders anticipate potential monetary policy shifts, the digital asset landscape continues to evolve, reflecting broader economic trends.
