Volume 181: Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report

From CoinShares Research Blog by James Butterfill

Outflows of US$251m globally overshadow US$307m inflows into Hong Kong

  • Digital asset investment products saw outflows for the fourth consecutive week totalling US$251m. This week marked the first week to see any measurable outflows from the newly issued ETFs in the US.
  • The bright spot last week was the successful launch of spot-based ETFs in Hong Kong, which saw US$307m inflows in the first week of trading.
  • Ethereum broke its 7-week spell of outflows, seeing US$30m of inflows last week.

Digital asset investment products saw outflows for the fourth consecutive week totalling US$251m. This week marked the first week to see any measurable outflows from the newly issued ETFs in the US, which saw US$156m outflows last week. We estimate the average purchase price of these ETFs since launch to be US$62,200 per bitcoin, as the price fell 10% below that level, it may have triggered automatic sell orders.

Regionally, while the outflows were primarily focussed on the US, which saw US$504m of outflows, Canada, Switzerland and Germany also saw outflows, totalling US$9.6m, US$9.8m and US$7.3m respectively.

The bright spot last week was the successful launch of spot-based Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in Hong Kong, which saw US$307m inflows in the first week of trading.

As usual Bitcoin was the primary focus, seeing US$284m of outflows. Unusually, this was the only digital asset to see outflows. Ethereum broke its 7-week spell of outflows, seeing US$30m of inflows last week.

A wide range of altcoins saw inflows, with the most significant being Avalanche, Cardano and Polkadot, seeing US$0.5m, US$0.4m and US$0.3m respectively.

Kyle Samani, Managing Partner at Multicoin Capital, pointed out that with the emergence of the Bitcoin Taproot upgrade and the Ordinals protocol, the Bitcoin ecosystem is experiencing a "developer renaissance". For some developers, building financial tools on Bitcoin is more attractive because it is the oldest and most secure blockchain. Multicoin Capital's investment trend is reportedly shifting from Solana to the Bitcoin ecosystem. The venture capital firm has invested in projects such as Solana Labs and StarkWare, but recently participated in the funding of the Bitcoin-native music platform Arch Network and the Bitcoin scaling network Mezo.
