The crypto market has experienced increased inflow despite recent fluctuations.
- The cryptocurrency market has seen a $1.44 Billion surge, led by Bitcoin and Ethereum. BTC spot ETFs and anticipated ETHs spot ETFs captured investor attention.
In recent months, cryptocurrency markets have experienced considerable volatility.
Despite the market fluctuations, the crypto industry has continued to attract investors, with new entrants and increased investment among the existing positions.
The recent data by Coinshare showed a net inflow of $1.4B over the past week in the crypto market.
Increase inflows
According to the report, inflows in the crypto market have surged to a record high of $17.8B over the past year. Equally, the inflow has soared to $1.44B on weekly charts.
The increased inflow on YTD charts has surpassed the 2021 high record of $10.6B. Notably, the increase in inflow arose from increased institutional investments in crypto through spot ETFs.
The approval of BTC spot ETFs in January, followed by the May approval of ETH spot ETFs, has changed the crypto space.

BTC leads with a record-high inflow
While the market inflows continued to surge, Bitcoin [BTC] recorded the highest inflow on weekly charts at $1.35B. The rise in BTC inflow came from increased institutional investments in BTC through spot ETFs.
For instance, BlackRock’s IBIT recorded $117.25 after seven days of consecutive inflow, with a trading volume of $1.2B. IBIT continued to dominate.
Equally, ARK Invests and 21shared’s ARKB attracted a massive inflow of $117.19M while enjoying a trading volume of $98.8M. Other majors such as Fidelity and BITB recorded a massive inflow of $15.24M and $7.93M.
However, over the past week, BTC short investments have experienced a high outflow after Germany government sales and Mt. Gox transactions.

ETH leads the altcoins
Despite Bitcoin’s continued dominance, altcoins such as Ethereum [ETH] and Solana [SOL] were surging extensively and set to challenge BTC.
As reported by AMBCypto, market trends favor ETH to upstage BTC after spot ETFs launch. Thus, ETH has experienced an increased inflow of $72M over the last week as investors anticipate an ETF launch.
The ETH surge has been the largest since March, as the crypto market sentiment is changing over ETFs.

Equally, Solana saw an increase in inflows to $4.4M, which is a record high following months of decline. This trend shows that investors’ interest in crypto is continually rising despite increased market volatility.
With the anticipated approval of multiple ETH spot ETFs later this month and SOL ETFs filing, the altcoins and crypto market is positioned to expand continually.
