HEALTHY CRYPTO INFLOWS ON FED-SPURRED RISK-ON RALLY
Digital asset investment products saw their second straight week of inflows last week, as per report by CoinShares, as investors piled into risk assets following the Federal Reserve's bumper interest rate cut on Wednesday.
Bitcoin BTC=, the world's largest cryptocurrency saw inflows of about $284 million. However, the recent price volatility also prompted some buying short-bitcoin investment products.
Other tokens such as Solana and Litecoin also saw weekly inflows.
Buyers originated from the United States and Switzerland, with Switzerland clocking its largest weekly inflow of this year amounting to $63 million. Germany, Sweden and Canada, on the other hand, recorded outflows last week.
Ethereum ETH= remained an outlier, seeing outflows for the fifth straight week, a total of $29 million, due to persistent outflows from the incumbent Grayscale Trust and scant inflows from newly issued ETFs.
Bitcoin had jumped to an over seven-week high a day after the Fed verdict, and is now holding at similar levels. Last trading at $63,231.
