Bitcoin funds continue to dominate, US leads regionally
Regionally, U.S.-based funds continued their heavy dominance post spot bitcoin ETF approval, registering $2.8 billion worth of inflows last week. Switzerland-based investment products were second, generating $21 million, and Brazil-based funds third with $18 million worth of inflows last week. However, crypto funds in Germany, Sweden and Canada saw outflows of $77 million, $39 million and $35 million, respectively.

BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC spot bitcoin ETFs both hit record daily inflows of $788 million and $73 million , respectively, during the past week. By Friday, IBIT had exceeded $10 billion in inflows after just two months of trading, while the newborn nine spot bitcoin ETFs — excluding Grayscale’s converted GBTC fund — also topped $20 billion worth of inflows, with net inflows now totaling over $9.5 billion.
In terms of altcoin-baseproducts, after three weeks of consecutive outflows, Solana-based funds returned to inflows of $24 million for the week, amid reports that Pantera Capital is raising funds to buy up Solana holdings from the FTX bankruptcy estate.
Ether-based investment products had a poorer week, witnessing $2.1 million in outflows, while Polkadot, Fantom, Chainlink and Uniswap products also saw minor inflows.
