At the same time, the investment product of financial giant BlackRock continues to receive significant infusions, analysts say. Over the past week, the influx of funds amounted to $744 million. In second place in this indicator is the crypto fund of Fidelity Investments, which received financial injections of $643 million.

In total, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded an inflow of $1.84 billion. Moreover, since their launch on January 11, 2024, crypto funds have received infusions of $5.94 billion.

At the regional level, the main outflow occurred in the USA ($409 million), Switzerland ($60 million) and Germany ($32 million). A net inflow of assets was observed only in Brazil – $10.3 million and in France – $100,000.

Analysts note that due to spot Bitcoin ETFs, the main movement of funds during this period was associated with the first cryptocurrency. This asset accounts for an outflow of $479 million. At the same time, the inflow from short Bitcoin positions amounted to $10.6 million.

At the same time, Ethereum (ETH)-based exchange products saw an outflow of $39 million. Most crypto funds based on other altcoins also lost funds in varying amounts.

Last week, CoinShares analysts said that capital inflows into cryptoy investment products totaled $21 million, with issuers with higher fees suffering since the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States on Jan. 10, 2024. Thus, the outflow of funds from such funds amounted to $2.9 billion. $4 billion were invested in the new instrument.
