Global crypto investment products recorded $407 million in inflows, largely influenced by the upcoming U.S. elections rather than monetary policy, analysts at CoinShares say.
Asset managers such as BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale, among others, experienced a robust inflow of $407 million, signaling a shift in investor focus from traditional monetary policy considerations to the upcoming U.S. elections, <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/coinshares/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CoinShares</a> head of research James Butterfill <a href="https://blog.coinshares.com/volume-204-digital-asset-fund-flows-weekly-report-b41f0790a1f3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">noted</a> in a blog report on Monday, Oct. 14.
The data reflects growing optimism surrounding political developments, particularly as the recent vice presidential debate and a polling shift favoring Republicans — often viewed as more supportive of crypto — sparked renewed interest.

As anticipated, Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>) garnered the most inflows at $419 million, positioning it as the primary beneficiary of these political shifts, while Ethereum (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/ethereum/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETH</a>) “resumed its trend of outflows” with a total of $9.8 million last week, Butterfill says.

Short-Bitcoin investment products also faced outflows totaling $6.3 million, highlighting a clear divergence in investor sentiment.
Despite stronger-than-expected economic data, which typically influences market behavior, this time it had little effect on stemming outflows from other asset classes. The concentration of inflows in crypto seem to demonstrate a changing narrative where investors prioritize political events over economic indicators.
The U.S. accounted for a substantial $406 million of the inflows, with Canada contributing a modest $4.8 million. Multi-asset investment products continued their upward trajectory with a 17th consecutive week of inflows, albeit at a minor $1.5 million.
Butterfill noted that blockchain equity exchange-traded funds saw “one of the largest weekly inflows this year,” allocating $34 million, likely fueled “in response to recent Bitcoin price rises.”
