Monday's crypto price rally – bitcoin jumped above $38,000 – could encourage digital-asset inflows because many investors have been on the sidelines since the sell-off in May.
- Overall, digital-asset products saw outflows for the third consecutive week, totaling $28 million in the seven days through July 23.
- “Bitcoin saw a majority of the outflows, which totaled $24 million, the largest outflows since mid-June,” according to CoinShares. Ethereum products saw outflows of $7.3 million.
- However, net flows year-to-date remain positive with inflows of $4.1 billion, albeit well off the cumulative peak of $4.7 billion in early May.
- Multi-asset investment products saw another week of inflows totaling $3.1 million, which suggests investors are diversifying their cryptocurrency exposure.
