Global crypto investment products see $321 million in net weekly inflows as rebound continues: CoinShares
Quick Take Digital asset investment products brought in $321 million worth of net inflows globally for the second consecutive week, according to CoinShares. The surge was likely driven by the U.S. Federal Reserve’s 50-basis-point interest rate cut, Head of Research James Butterfill said.
Global crypto funds at asset managers such as BlackRock, Bitwise, Fidelity, Grayscale, ProShares and 21Shares continued their rebound into a second week, adding net inflows worth $321 million last week, according to CoinShares — following two prior consecutive weeks of net outflows.
“This surge was likely driven by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) comments last Wednesday, which took a more dovish stance than anticipated, including a 50 basis point interest rate cut,” CoinShares Head of Research James Butterfill wrote in a Monday report.
Total assets under management at the funds grew 9% as a result, with trading volume also up 9% on the week before at $9.5 billion, Butterfill added.

Bitcoin products dominate, ether funds remain an outlier
Bitcoin BTC +1.45% -based investment products dominated the flows as usual, generating $284 million in net inflows globally last week. However, the recent positive price action for the foremost cryptocurrency also attracted net inflows of $5.1 million into short-bitcoin funds, Butterfill noted.
Solana-based funds also continued a positive streak, adding $3.2 million worth of net inflows last week amid a series of announcements at the Solana Breakpoint conference in Singapore.
Meanwhile, ether-based investment products remain an outlier, registering a further $29 million in net outflows last week, extending their negative run to a fifth-consecutive week, now totaling $187.7 million.
This is primarily driven by persistent outflows from Grayscale’s converted higher-fee incumbent fund, ETHE, generating $2.8 billion in total net outflows since trading began in July compared to $2.2 billion worth of net inflows from the newly launched U.S. spot Ethereum ETH +2.83% ETFs, Butterfill added.
Regionally, U.S.-based funds also continued their dominance, witnessing $277 million in net inflows overall. Switzerland's registered investment products saw their second-largest weekly net inflows of the year, adding $63 million. However, funds in Germany, Sweden and Canada experienced net weekly outflows of $9.5 million, $7.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

SpaceX unlock wave meets index rebalancing! Goldman Sachs estimates: December rebalancing may bring $10.9 billion in passive buying
The proportion of SpaceX's freely tradable shares has increased from about 5% at the time of its IPO to one-third, and the expansion of index weightings is driving passive funds to increase their holdings. According to Goldman Sachs, the rebalancing of the Russell 1000 Growth Index on December 11 may trigger $10.9 billion in buy orders, with the main counterparts being insiders whose shares are unlocked. The S&P 500 inclusion window points to the second half of 2027, when the competition among passive funds will further intensify.
