Bitcoin investment products experienced a surge in net inflows, reaching $3.12 billion between Nov. 18 and 22, according to CoinShares. This marks a 102% increase compared to the $1.67 billion from the prior week and extends the streak of positive inflows to seven weeks. Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States played a pivotal role in this growth, signaling heightened investor interest.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) leads the market with $48.95 billion in net assets and $31.33 billion in cumulative inflows as of Nov. 22. In contrast, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF holds $21.61 billion in assets but has faced outflows exceeding $20 billion since its inception. Year-to-date inflows for all digital asset investment products have hit $37 billion, significantly surpassing the first-year inflows of gold ETFs, which totaled $309 million.
Globally, the picture is mixed. Markets in Germany, Sweden, and Switzerland recorded outflows of $40 million, $84 million, and $17 million, respectively. Conversely, Australia, Canada, and Hong Kong showed optimism, with combined inflows of $70 million. Additionally, $10 million flowed into short-Bitcoin products, indicating some investors are hedging against potential price drops.
Bitcoin’s price reached an all-time high of $99,655.50 on Nov. 22, just shy of the $100,000 milestone. It has since retreated slightly and currently trades at $93,836. The broader momentum underscores rising investor confidence and has pushed total assets under management for digital investment products to a record $138 billion. CoinShares noted that Bitcoin inflows this year have reached unprecedented levels in the crypto sector.
Altcoins also saw activity, particularly in European markets. Solana-linked funds received $16 million, while Ethereum-focused products attracted $2.8 million. This diversification reflects growing interest across the digital asset landscape.
Former President Donald Trump’s Nov. 5 second election victory may also have influenced the surge in inflows. His pro-crypto campaign rhetoric and promises to support the digital asset industry appear to have positively impacted market sentiment.
