In the period from March 23 to 29, investments in cryptocurrency products experienced a significant uptick, with inflows reaching $862 million. This follows a notable outflow of $942 million observed just a week prior.
CoinShares analysts report that as Bitcoin (BTC) began to rebound towards $70,000, the total assets under management surged from $88.2 billion to $97.9 billion during the same period.
The majority of activity remained focused on Bitcoin-related products. In fact, the $865 million inflow nearly balanced out the record $904 million withdrawal seen in the previous week.
There was a small net outflow of $2 million from structures allowing short positions on Bitcoin, compared to $3.7 million the week before. Similarly, outflows from Ethereum (ETH) funds decreased from $34.2 million to $18.9 million. On the other hand, investments totaling $6.1 million, $2.4 million, and $1 million were made into products based on Solana (SOL), Polkadot (DOT), and Cardano (ADA), respectively.
March marked the seventh consecutive month of positive performance for Bitcoin, with a 16.8% increase in its price reported by CoinGlass.
Bitcoin reached its all-time high of $73,000 on March 12, but faced a decline to $61,000 in subsequent trading sessions before recovering to $70,000 by month-end. This dip in mid-March coincided with fund outflows from ETFs and a reduction in the likelihood of imminent Ethereum ETF launches.
Amidst these fluctuations, Bitcoin managed to close March in positive territory for the seventh consecutive month, demonstrating its resilience despite the volatile market conditions.
Despite its temporary setback, Bitcoin’s performance remains robust, showcasing its enduring appeal to investors. Additionally, the cryptocurrency market continues to attract significant attention and investment, with various altcoins also witnessing notable activity.
As the crypto landscape evolves, investors are closely monitoring developments, particularly regarding regulatory frameworks and the potential launch of new investment products. These factors are likely to influence market dynamics in the coming months.
