Cryptocurrency investment products continued to attract strong investor interest last week despite major crypto assets like Bitcoin and Ether posting notable price drops.
Global crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) recorded $1.24 billion of inflows for the trading week ending Friday, CoinShares reported on Monday.
According to James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, with the most recent inflows, crypto ETPs continued to break year-to-date (YTD) inflow records and reached a new historic high of $15.1 billion. Despite continued inflows, total assets under management (AUM) in crypto ETPs edged down from $179 billion in the previous week to $176.3 billion by the end of last week.
