The latest report from CoinShares reveals that Bitcoin products have attracted the lion’s share of new investments, accounting for a staggering 84% of the incoming capital. These numbers coincide with the crypto market’s anticipation of the potential approval of a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the United States.
CoinShares, the renowned asset management firm, published its weekly fund flows report on October 23rd. The report highlights that a substantial $66 million flowed into digital asset investment products during the week ending on October 20th, significantly boosting the total assets under management in this space to a remarkable $33 billion.

Breaking down the recent inflows, a remarkable $55.3 million, constituting 84% of the total, found its way into Bitcoin investment products. This surge brings the year-to-date inflows for Bitcoin products to an impressive $315 million. Nevertheless, James Butterfill, CoinShares’ head of research, observes that these recent inflows still pale in comparison to the levels witnessed earlier this year when BlackRock first announced its intention to introduce a spot Bitcoin ETF.
Butterfill points out, “While the recent influx of capital can be attributed to the growing excitement surrounding a potential spot Bitcoin ETF in the United States, it remains notably lower compared to the initial surge following BlackRock’s announcement in June.” In June, the crypto sector saw an influx of $807 million over four weeks, demonstrating that current investors are taking a more measured approach this time around.
Meanwhile, the altcoin market also saw some intriguing movements. Solana (SOL) products managed to secure the second-largest share of inflows in the past week, emerging as the leading choice among all altcoins. These products attracted an impressive $15.5 million. In contrast, Ether (ETH) products experienced outflows of $7.4 million, making them the sole altcoin category to face outflows last week.
Notably, the interest in a spot Bitcoin ETF surged on the evening of October 23rd. This was fueled by “positive signs” that BlackRock’s ETF was drawing closer to regulatory approval, and a U.S. appellate court issued a mandate for the Securities and Exchange Commission to review Grayscale’s spot Bitcoin ETF application.

These developments ignited a Bitcoin rally, pushing its price up by 14% within the past 24 hours, briefly touching $34,000 for the first time since May 2022. This surge also led to over $193 million in Bitcoin short liquidations in the same 24-hour period, according to data from CoinGlass.
