Last week witnessed an unprecedented milestone in the cryptocurrency market as trading volumes for exchange-traded products (ETPs) soared to a record-breaking $17.5 billion. This remarkable achievement, a significant leap from the $2 billion weekly average in 2022, reflects a burgeoning investor interest and confidence in the crypto markets.

CoinShares reported a substantial influx of $1.18 billion in digital asset investment products during the same week, though it fell short of the record set by futures-based Bitcoin ETFs in October 2021, which reached $1.5 billion. The surge in weekly crypto asset flows is primarily attributed to the approval of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by the US Security and Exchange Commission (SEC). Industry leaders, including Mati Greenspan, CEO of Quantum Economics, anticipate a substantial increase in institutional adoption with the approval of Bitcoin ETFs.

Positive inflows were not limited to Bitcoin, as Ethereum secured $26 million, XRP drew in $2.2 million, and Solana saw a modest inflow of $0.5 million.
