CoinShares revealed that digital asset investment products experienced net inflows of $245 million last week.

According to the company’s weekly report, the trading volume for exchange-traded products (ETPs) rose to its highest level since May, at $14.8 billion, thanks to the launch of spot Ethereum ETFs in the US.

Total assets under management (AUM) for crypto ETPs increased to $99.1 billion, and their year-to-date inflows reached a record $20.5 billion.

Bitcoin attracts renewed confidence

Bitcoin enjoyed inflows of $519 million last week, bringing its total flows for the month to $3.6 billion and for the year to $19 billion.

James Butterfill, the head of research at CoinShares, attributed the inflows to renewed confidence in the asset, which has been the subject of recent discussions about being a reserve asset for the US government.

During the Bitcoin conference in Nashville, US politicians, including Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump and pro-Bitcoin Senator Cynthia Lummis, proposed making Bitcoin a strategic Treasury asset.

Notably, Senator Lummis introduced a bill that would see the US reserve accumulate 1 million BTC over five years. On the other hand, Trump vowed to make the US “a Bitcoin superpower” and ensure the government never sells the 210,000 BTC it already holds.

Ethereum ETFs

Meanwhile, the debut of Ethereum ETFs resulted in the largest inflows for the digital asset since December 2020. According to the CoinShares report, the products saw inflows totaling $2.2 billion, which resulted in a 542% increase in trading volumes.

Butterfill said:

“This figure is somewhat controversial as Grayscale seeded its new Mini Trust ETF (the week prior) with capital from its incumbent closed-end trust ($1 billion), which may help explain the steady stream of outflows in recent years.”

He also noted that the flows were impacted by Grayscale’s existing ETHE fund, which saw $1.5 billion in outflows, leading to a net outflow of $285 million for Ethereum ETPs.

Butterfill added that these outflows were similar to those seen in the firm’s Bitcoin trust in January 2024 after the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the ETFs for trading.

Bitcoin crossed the $68,000 mark during the weekend after President Joe Biden announced his exit from the presidential race for the upcoming elections in November 2024.

The event showed just how sensitive the global crypto market is to US political events. The discrepancy between America’s influence on the global crypto market and its share of the global market becomes evident when analyzing trading volumes.

Kaiko data shows that the market share of US exchanges in terms of trading volume currently stands at 11.79%. Global exchanges, on the other hand, dominate with 88.12%.

The disparity shows that almost all crypto trading activity on centralized exchanges happens outside the US. While numerous reasons have contributed to this discrepancy, the regulatory environment in the US stands out as the most significant factor.

The regulatory landscape in the country is much harsher compared to other regions. The SEC’s strict oversight and enforcement actions have led to cautious participation by retail and institutional investors. US-based exchanges have had to implement rigorous compliance measures that differ from state to state, deterring a large portion of retail traders.

However, despite the low volume share, the US accounts for almost half of the market’s liquidity. Kaiko data shows that US-based exchanges account for a substantial 45.09% of the global market depth at the 2% level.

Market depth shows the market’s general ability to sustain relatively large orders without significantly impacting price. This is an important metric as it acts as an indicator of overall liquidity. A deep market with substantial orders within the 2% range shows that large orders can occur without causing significant price fluctuations. This high liquidity then helps reduce price volatility, which is particularly important for institutional investors who deal with large buy and sell orders.

High liquidity in the US can be attributed to the large presence of institutional investors. Their presence has increased drastically since the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs this year, as these products contribute to higher liquidity and deeper order books on exchanges where these ETFs are traded or tracked.

The creation and redemption processes of spot Bitcoin ETFs involve large-scale transactions in the underlying Bitcoin market. When new ETF shares are created, authorized participants (usually exchanges like Coinbase) purchase the equivalent amount of Bitcoin from the market, contributing to market depth. Conversely, when ETF shares are redeemed, the underlying Bitcoin is sold, further adding to the liquidity and depth of the market.

The sheer size of this market is why news coming from the US can move Bitcoin’s price less than 8% away from its ATH despite accounting for such a small share of volume.

Crypto exchange BloFin believes the imminent launch of spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the US will drive a short-term surge in ETH prices as investors shift their attention from Bitcoin to the second-largest crypto asset by market capitalization, according to a June 26 research note shared with CryptoSlate.

The exchange, citing various data points such as options skewness, portfolio adjustments, and whale holdings, noted that the ETFs’ launch would likely boost Ethereum’s short-term price.

BloFin analysts said:

“The relative strength of BTC has lasted for several months, but investors are changing their views: they seem to believe that the performance of ETH will strengthen for some time with the listing of the spot ETH ETFs.”

Last month, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved key filings for spot ETH ETFs, surprising many market participants. Since then, the ETH ETF applicants have been engaging with the regulator’s staff, and there are rumors that these financial instruments could start trading as early as the first week of July.

Bullish ETH expectations

BloFin observed that Bitcoin’s skewness data had been more bullish than Ethereum’s for the majority of this year. However, the trend has reversed in recent weeks, with investors’ short-term expectations for Bitcoin now “neutral” and “slightly bearish,” while expectations for Ethereum are more bullish.

Although investors remain bullish on Bitcoin’s medium and long-term performance, their optimism for Ethereum has surpassed that of the top crypto in the shorter time frames.

The analysts explained that one of the reasons driving this change is the potential for higher returns. According to the note:

“Assets with relatively low market cap and relatively high volatility have a better potential for returns during the interest rate cut cycle.”

BloFin also anticipates that the “asset allocation period” following the approval of spot Ethereum ETFs will positively impact ETH’s price, similar to Bitcoin’s experience in February and March.

Additionally, the latest forward exchange rate term structure of ETH/BTC suggests that investors believe ETH will outperform BTC in the coming months, pushing the exchange rate higher in the short term.

According to the analysts:

“The Risk Premium difference between ETH and BTC has also converged to within 25[basis points], and investors are looking forward to the potential new wealth effect brought by ETH after the listing of spot ETH ETFs.”

BloFin highlighted that on-chain data further supports its bullish outlook. According to the firm, ETH whales have stopped selling their holdings, while BTC whales continue to reduce theirs.

The firm noted that this might be due to miners regularly selling BTC for cash, but it could also indicate investors readjusting their portfolios.
