BTC, ETH sentiment shift
The CoinShares report highlights that since March short-Bitcoin products have experienced $44 million in total outflows, constituting over 55% of assets under management (AuM).
The report indicates this change is a “positive sentiment” shift since the Bitcoin halving event in mid to late April.
Ether (ETH) also showed similarly strong performance over the last week, attracting $45 million in inflows and surpassing Solana (SOL) with $103 million in total year-to-date (YTD) inflows.
According to the report, SOL witnessed $9.6 million in inflows last week but trailed behind ETH with $71 million YTD inflows.

BlackRock $10.6 trillion AuM
On July 15, BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, reported a record $10.6 trillion in AuM as of the end of Q4.
The milestone marks a $1.2 trillion year-over-year (YoY) growth for the firm, surpassing the $10 trillion milestone partly due to the surge in exchange-traded funds (ETF) inflows in Q1.
Larry Fink, the CEO of BlackRock, said that the growth was “driven by private markets” alongside retail investors and “surging flows” into the firm’s ETFs.
