Global cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs) recorded robust inflows, elevating total assets under management to an all-time high of $176.3 billion. This surge occurred despite Bitcoin’s spot price retreating from $108,800 to $103,000.
Bitcoin-specific ETPs attracted $1.1 billion in inflows during the period, underscoring strategic accumulation during market weakness. Investor positioning leaned decisively bullish, evidenced by marginal outflows of just $1.4 million from short-Bitcoin instruments.
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index briefly plunged from ‘Greed’ to ‘Fear’ amid external pressures, but swiftly recovered to ‘Neutral’ territory – signaling resilient underlying confidence. Sustained inflows highlight institutional adoption of regulated crypto ETPs for long-term portfolio diversification as markets mature.
