Apart from the poor performance of Bitcoin, CoinShares outlined consistent growth in Ethereum-related investment products. The world’s second-largest digital currency attracted product inflows of $34 million as the total inflows into ETH investment products reached $792 million since the start of this year.
“Flows for digital asset investment products slowed to their lowest weekly figure since October 2020 at just $1.3 million. Worries over Bitcoin mining issues in China spooked the market with asset under management (AUM) $10 Billion lower than the previous week. AUM now sits at around $54 billion,” CoinShares mentioned in the report.
During the third week of April, XRP reported a massive jump in weekly institutional inflows as the world’s 4th most valuable cryptocurrency attracted $33 million. Bitcoin saw inflows of $108 million in the same week.
