CoinShares’ recent investment report has unveiled a significant influx of capital into the market, as a whopping $78 million has flooded into the sector. 
This marks the second consecutive week of favorable investment trends, with an almost quadruple surge compared to the previous week’s $21 million. Notably, this influx represents the largest weekly investment since July of this year, a point highlighted by James Butterfill, the author of the report. 
Within this surge, Bitcoin emerged as the primary beneficiary, attracting $43 million in investments over the past week. However, it’s worth noting that some investors viewed the recent price strength of Bitcoin as an opportunity to increase their short positions, resulting in $1.2 million in inflows for this category during the same period. 
Trading volumes for cryptocurrency-related exchange-traded products (ETPs) saw a substantial uptick of 37%, reaching a total of $1.13 billion during this period. 
The report also underscores a noteworthy increase in Bitcoin (BTC) trading volumes, which witnessed a 16% rise on cryptocurrency exchanges. 
Regionally, there’s a stark contrast in investor sentiment, with a substantial 90% of the total inflows originating from Europe. In contrast, the United States and Canada jointly received a relatively modest $9 million in inflows, a pattern that has persisted from the previous month. CoinShares attributes this divergence to the challenging regulatory environment in the United States. 
<a href="https://www.unlock-bc.com/109412/us-welcomes-the-debut-of-ethereum-futures-etfs-in-trading/" class="ek-link">It is worth noting that last week marked the debut of Ethereum futures-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the U.S., a significant development for Ethereum (ETH) enthusiasts. </a>However, the response from investors to these products was somewhat muted, with just under $10 million in inflows during the inaugural week. 
As the report points out, this “lackluster appetite” stands in stark contrast to the launch of Bitcoin futures-based ETFs in October 2021, which drew a staggering $1 billion in the same timeframe. 
Butterfill suggests that this discrepancy is likely due to the current tepid interest in digital assets, making it unfair to compare to the fervor surrounding Bitcoin ETF launches in 2021. 
In contrast to the relatively modest start for Ethereum ETFs, Solana (SOL) experienced a significant surge in investments, recording its most substantial weekly inflow of $23.9 million since March 2022. 
According to the report, Solana has solidified its position as the “preferred altcoin” in the industry, a sentiment reinforced by the fact that Solana’s total value locked in the DeFi space reached an all-time high for the year, surpassing $338 million.
