The cryptocurrency market has witnessed a remarkable influx of investment, with nearly $1.8 billion flowing into crypto products over the last 10 weeks, a surge not observed since the launch of Bitcoin futures in October 2021 . Bitcoin-related investments have emerged as the primary focus of this recent uptick in investor interest, particularly in the context of the expected approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF in the United States .
CoinShares’ analysis highlights that out of the total inflows, Bitcoin investment products alone accounted for approximately $1.44 billion, coinciding with Bitcoin’s price increase from $26,600 to $37,700 as of December 1 . The most recent week ending on December 1 saw a substantial $176.3 million inflow into crypto investments, with Bitcoin products attracting $132.8 million, overshadowing inflows into other cryptocurrencies like Ether and Solana .
This trend is aligned with the growing anticipation of the approval of spot Bitcoin ETF applications in the U.S., suggesting a growing confidence in Bitcoin’s market position . James Edwards, a cryptocurrency analyst, noted that institutional investors are speculating on ETF approvals, leading to a spike in inflows into Bitcoin futures ETFs like ProShares BITO, breaking previous records set in 2021 .
