Digital asset investment products posted over $700 million in inflows during the week ending Feb. 2, reversing a prior week of outflows — due mainly to a flood of investors to Bitcoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price">BTC</a>) products in the United States, according to alternative asset manager CoinShares.&nbsp;
Inflows into the global digital asset product market amounted to $708 million, with United States-listed products making $720 million of inflows in the week. Bitcoin products, including the newly launched spot Bitcoin ETFs, accounted for most digital asset product inflows at $703 million, <a href="https://blog.coinshares.com/volume-168-digital-asset-fund-flows-weekly-report-16427d7d3235" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">according</a> to the data.
The number is a reversal of outflows from the previous week, which totalled $499.7 million across all digital asset investment products.

The United States’ newly issued spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw $1.7 billion come in over the week, bringing total inflows since launch to $7.7 billion. CoinShares analyst James Butterfill also observed there has been a slow down in outflows from the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust.&nbsp;
<blockquote>
 “This [inflow into U.S. BTC ETFs] has been offset by outflows from incumbent issuers, which total US$6BN, but data highlight a significant reduction in momentum of these outflows.”
</blockquote>
The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) ETF sold off $926.7 million of BTC, and ProShares sold $108.9 million of BTC, but those outflows were offset the iShares (BlackRock) and Fidelity ETFs, which added $1.6 billion between them.
