According to ChainCatcher news and a CoinShares research report, global digital asset investment product inflows reached a historic high of $44.2 billion in 2024, nearly four times the record set in 2021.

Other altcoins (excluding Ethereum) had total inflows of $813 million, representing 18% of AuM.
The start of 2025 was strong, with inflows reaching $585 million in the first three days. However, the overall net outflow for the first week, including the last two trading days of 2024, was $75 million. U.S. products dominated, with spot ETFs attracting 100% of the inflows for the year, totaling $44.4 billion. The Swiss market saw inflows of $630 million, while Canada and Sweden experienced outflows of $707 million and $682 million respectively, reflecting investors' shift towards U.S. products and some profit-taking behavior.
