Quick Take
The nascent year 2024 has marked a significant surge in digital asset investment products globally, amounting to inflows of $151 million in just the first week, as per the analysis by James Butterfill at Coinshares.
The Grayscale vs SEC lawsuit seems to have only galvanized investors, leading to a substantial increase in inflows, which now total an impressive $2.3 billion, according to Coinshares. This sum constitutes 4.4% of the total assets under management (AuM).
Bitcoin, remaining the digital gold standard, attracted the lion’s share of these inflows with $113 million, while Ethereum followed suit with commendable inflows of $30 million, according to Coinshares.
Geographically, the United States led the pack, contributing 55% of the total inflows, translating to $84 million. Germany and Switzerland trailed behind, accounting for 21% and 17% of the inflows respectively, according to Coinshares. These inflow patterns underline the growing global acceptance and investor confidence in digital asset investment products, particularly in these three nations.
