Digital asset investment products experienced a significant rebound last week, attracting $572 million in inflows, primarily driven by Bitcoin and Ethereum gains, along with the U.S. approval for crypto in 401(k) plans. This resurgence follows a week of early outflows totaling $1 billion, which were likely driven by growth concerns stemming from weak US payroll figures. However, the latter half of the week saw a remarkable $1.57 billion in inflows, likely spurred by the government’s announcement permitting digital assets in 401(k) retirement plans.
Ethereum ETPs led the market with $268 million in inflows, pushing year-to-date inflows to a new record of $8.2 billion and total assets under management (AUM) to an all-time high of $32.6 billion, up 82% this year. Bitcoin regained momentum with $260 million in inflows, while altcoins Solana, XRP, and Near posted inflows of $21.8 million, $18.4 million, and $10.1 million, respectively.
Regionally, the US and Canada recorded inflows of $608 million and $16.5 million, respectively, while Europe remained bearish, with Germany, Sweden, and Switzerland combined seeing outflows totaling $54.3 million. The US approval for digital assets in 401(k) plans significantly boosted investor confidence, leading to a remarkable $1.57 billion in inflows during the latter half of the week.
