On July 29, CoinShares revealed that digital asset investment products recorded an aggregate inflow of $245 million last week despite the newly issued ETH ETFs in the U.S. seeing inflows of $2.2 billion. The newly launched ETH ETFs prompted a rise in trading volumes to the highest levels in two months at $14.8 billion.
“Recent price appreciation has brought total assets under management (AuM) to US$99.1bn while total inflows year-to-date (YTD) are at a record breaking US$20.5bn,” reads the report.
Bitcoin recorded inflows of $519 million, so the total inflows since the beginning of this month is $3.6 billion while inflows since the beginning of this year is $19 billion.
