Year-to-Date Institutional Flows for Crypto ETPs Reach Record-Breaking $20,500,000,000: CoinShares

Digital assets manager CoinShares says that institutional crypto investors are pouring record-breaking inflows into crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) in 2024.

In its latest Digital Asset Fund Flows report, CoinShares says that despite a muted week of $245 million net inflows, digital asset investment products reached a new year-to-date record last week.

“Digital asset investment products saw a relatively muted US$245m of inflows last week, although this obscures a mixed picture for various digital assets. Trading volumes rose to the highest levels since May at US$14.8bn for the week, helped by the recent Ethereum ETF launches. Recent price appreciation has brought total assets under management (AuM) to US$99.1bn while total inflows year-to-date (YTD) are at a record-breaking US$20.5bn.”

Bitcoin (BTC) investment vehicles enjoyed $519 million in inflows.

According to CoinShares, Ethereum’s (ETH) flows reacted to ETH’s exchange-traded fund (ETF) launch in a similar fashion to how BTC’s flows reacted to the BTC ETF launch in January 2024.

“The launch of the US spot-based Ethereum ETFs saw some of the largest inflows since December 2020, with newly issued ETFs seeing US$2.2bn inflows, while trading volumes in ETH ETP rose by 542%. This figure is somewhat controversial as Grayscale seeded its new Mini Trust ETF (the week prior) with capital from its incumbent closed-end trust (~US$1bn), which may help explain the steady stream of outflows in recent years.

Further, this week saw continued outflows from Grayscale’s incumbent trust of US$1.5bn as some investors cash out, leading to a net outflow of US$285m last week.”

While multi-asset crypto investment vehicles saw $8.7 million in inflows, Cardano (ADA), Litecoin (LTC) and XRP enjoyed inflows of $1.2 million, $0.6 million, and $0.5 million, respectively.
