Bitcoin ETPs Lead Inflows with $1.01B Weekly, What About Ethereum? (CoinShares)
Digital asset investments have reached year-to-date inflows record, hitting an all-time high of almost $15 billion.
For the third consecutive week, digital asset investment products attracted impressive inflows, as this time, they totaled $1.05 billion. The latest figures contributed to a record-breaking year-to-date cumulative flow of $14.9 billion.
According to the latest edition of CoinShares’ Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report, the recent surge in prices has driven total digital asset exchange-traded products (ETPs) to $98.5 billion. Meanwhile, weekly ETP trading volumes have increased by 28% to $13.6 billion.
- The majority of inflows were directed towards Bitcoin ETPs, which attracted $1.01 billion, while short-BTC products experienced outflows totaling $4.3 million, indicating a broadly positive sentiment despite recent price hikes.
- This shift in sentiment is likely influenced by investors interpreting the FOMC minutes and recent macro data as mildly dovish.
- Investment products offering exposure to Ethereum witnessed inflows of $36 million, marking the highest since March. As per the asset manager, this figure was largely driven by early reactions to the approval of spot Ether ETFs in the United States.
- The bullish sentiment extended across the altcoins board, with Solana attracting $8 million in inflows last week.
- Litecoin also witnessed inflows of $2.8 million during the same period, followed by Chainlink and XRP with $0.6 million and $0.4 million.
- On the other hand, Cardano observed weekly outflows of $1.2 million.
- In terms of geographical distribution, the majority of inflows were concentrated in the United States, which experienced $1.03 billion in inflows over the past week. Notably, Grayscale witnessed a significant reduction in outflows to just $15 million for the week.
- Germany and Switzerland also saw inflows of $48 million and $30 million, respectively.
- However, despite the initial enthusiasm surrounding the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs in Hong Kong, there were disappointing outflows of $29 million last week.

Federal Reserve Chair Waller: Number of Rate-Setting Meetings Will Be Reduced in Coming Years
Federal Reserve Chair Walsh pointed out that although eight meetings per year is "an appropriate number" for the FOMC, starting in 2027, one meeting will focus on macro monetary policy strategy without interest rate voting or policy statement issuance. In 2028, such strategic meetings will increase to two, and the number of policy-setting meetings will be reduced correspondingly to six. Walsh stated that this adjustment aims to provide the committee with space to consider more long-term "major issues."
The Federal Reserve holds rates steady as expected, with divisions resurfacing but fewer hawkish voices; Cook and two other voting members support a rate hike.
After three dissenting votes in July, there was once again division in this rate decision, with two of the 12 FOMC members opposed, indicating a decrease in hawkish dissent. Among the dissenters, Harker had already voted against holding rates steady in July due to his support for a rate hike, while Cook’s dissent is seen as a rebuke to Trump’s attempt to remove her. This statement changed the description of the economy from “steadily expanding” to “strong expansion,” continued to emphasize that inflation remains high, and newly added that accumulating information will help determine the policy stance needed to ensure inflation returns to target in a timely manner. According to the “New Fed News Agency,” the Fed’s decision to hold rates steady aims to gain time to assess whether further rate hikes are necessary.
