In terms of regional inflows, the US provided the lion’s share at $1 billion.
“Switzerland and Germany also saw minor inflows of $27 million and $4.2 million respectively, while Hong Kong and Canada saw outflows totaling $83 million and $17 million respectively.”
While short Bitcoin (BTC) investment products saw little engagement, BTC enjoyed $942 million in inflows, suggesting bullish sentiment amongst investors, according to CoinShares
In terms of altcoins, Solana (SOL), Chainlink (LINK) and Cardano (ADA) brought in $4.9 million, $3.7 million and $1.9 million in inflows, respectively, while Ethereum (ETH) suffered $23.3 million in outflows, bringing ETH’s total year-to-date outflows to $57 million.
