From February 1-7, the volume of investments in digital asset funds totaled $1.3 billion, more than double the previous week’s $527 million. This growth supports the positive dynamics, which has been maintained for five consecutive weeks.
At the same time, the market correction brought total assets under management down to $163 billion – down from the peak of $191 billion.
Investors continue to show interest in Ethereum: amid a drop in its value to $2100, investments in funds focused on this asset amounted to $793 million, while a week ago there was an outflow of $0.3 million. By comparison, funds based on the first cryptocurrency attracted $407 million against $486 million the previous week. U.S. exchange-traded products based on the first cryptocurrency registered capital inflows of $203.54 million – a positive trend for the sixth consecutive week.
XRP-focused products also showed an increase in investments: the volume of investments increased from $14.7 million to $21.1 million. Crypto funds working with Solana and Cardano attracted $11.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively.
Interest in short positions has significantly decreased: funds that allow to play on the downside of digital assets received an inflow of only $0.1 million against $3.7 million a week earlier.
Total trading volume for the week remained at $20 billion, with analysts predicting that as much as $50 billion could flow into exchange-traded cryptocurrency products in 2025. Traditional institutional investors continue to explore the digital asset market and its prospects.
