Institutional crypto appetites have shifted away from altcoins back to Bitcoin, with BTC investment products leading the inflows for digital asset products for the second week in a row.
Institutional investors are pivoting back to digital gold with Bitcoin (BTC) investment products posting a third consecutive week of inflows.
According to CoinShares’ latest “Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly” report, BTC investment products generated $68.7 million worth of inflows between Sept. 27 and Friday, representing a 36% increase in exposure week-over-week.
While products tracking BTC have now dominated inflows to digital asset products for two weeks in a row, the bullish turn comes fresh off a record streak of outflows that persisted for eight consecutive weeks until early September.
Total inflows for digital investment products were $90 million for the week, marking the seventh consecutive week of inflows as institutional investors continue to increase exposure to digital assets.
Institutional investors also snapped up a significant amount of Ether (ETH) investment products, with inflows totaling $20.2 million. BTC and ETH products gained roughly 7.4% and 3.2% for the week, respectively.
There was also a mixed appetite for altcoins last week. Products tracking Cardano (ADA) and Solana (SOL) posting inflows of $1.1 million and $700,000, respectively, while Polkadot’s DOT and Binance Coin (BNB) fund shed $800,000 each. Multi-asset funds also saw minimal inflows of $1.9 million.
Institutional demand for Solana appears to have bottomed out, with inflows to products tracking SOL crashing by 98% since posting highs of $38.9 million five weeks.
Despite the markets recovering from July’s violent pull-back, CoinShares highlighted that last week’s trade volume of $2.4 billion remains low compared to the $8.4 billion worth of institutional crypto products traded weekly during the height of 2021’s bull cycle in mid-May.
