- Last week’s small price rally caused inflows into Bitcoin and Ethereum investment products to jump.
- Short bitcoin, on the other hand, saw its 10th week of consecutive outflows.
Digital asset investment product inflows topped $125 million last week, marking its second consecutive week of inflows at $334 million, CoinShares found in a new report.
Last week’s inflows represented nearly 1% of all assets under management (AuM), according to the digital asset investment firm.
