Record-Breaking Inflows in Digital Asset Investment Products
Global Digital Asset Investment Products See Unprecedented Growth
According to a recent research report by CoinShares, global digital asset investment product inflows have reached an all-time high of $44.2 billion in 2024. This remarkable figure is nearly four times the record set in 2021, indicating a significant surge in investor interest in digital assets.
Bitcoin and Ethereum Lead the Charge
Among the various digital assets, Bitcoin attracted the largest share of inflows, with a staggering $38 billion, accounting for 29% of total assets under management (AuM). Ethereum followed closely, with inflows of $4.8 billion, representing 26% of AuM. Other altcoins, excluding Ethereum, saw a total inflow of $813 million, accounting for 18% of AuM.
Strong Start to 2025, Despite Net Outflow in the First Week
The new year has started on a positive note, with $585 million in inflows in the first three days of 2025. However, the overall net flow for the first week, including the last two trading days of 2024, resulted in a net outflow of $75 million.
U.S. Products Dominate, While Other Markets See Outflows
The U.S. market dominated the digital asset investment product landscape, with spot ETFs attracting 100% of inflows for the year, reaching a total of $44.4 billion. In contrast, the Swiss market saw an inflow of $630 million, while Canada and Sweden experienced outflows of $707 million and $682 million, respectively. This shift in investor preference towards U.S. products and some profit-taking activities contributed to the outflows in these markets.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the digital asset investment product market has witnessed unprecedented growth in 2024, with record-breaking inflows of $44.2 billion. Bitcoin and Ethereum have emerged as the clear leaders, with significant inflows and a substantial share of total AuM. While the start of 2025 has been promising, the overall net flow for the first week resulted in a net outflow. As the market continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how investor preferences and market trends shape the future of digital asset investment products.
