**Crypto Investment Products See Record Inflows Amid Election Optimism**

Crypto investment products have hit their highest inflows since July, reaching $2.2 billion in weekly investments, according to CoinShares. The surge is attributed to growing optimism over a potential Republican win in the upcoming US elections, which are seen as more favorable for digital assets.

- **US Leads the Pack**: The US saw the largest inflows at $2.3 billion during the week of Oct. 12-18. In contrast, Canada and Sweden experienced outflows of $19.9 million and $18.2 million, respectively.

- **Bitcoin Dominates**: Bitcoin led the charge with $2.13 billion in inflows, driven mainly by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin ETF.

- **Other Assets**: Ether-based products saw $58 million in inflows, while short-Bitcoin products recorded $12 million, the highest since March.

CoinShares notes that these inflows have pushed total assets under management close to $100 billion, reflecting strong market optimism.
