Institutionals channeled $ 1.5 billion to crypto funds last week. A report from CoinShares states that 99% of funds were raised by Bitcoin-focused products. For comparison, the week before last, bitcoin funds received only $ 70 million.
Analysts link the activation of hedge funds and other financial institutions with the emergence of ETFs on bitcoin futures. Let us remind you that an exchange-traded fund from ProShares appeared on the market last week.
A record amount was invested in crypto products in a week. The researchers recorded the previous maximum in February. Then, in a week, the funds received $ 640 million. In annual terms, the volume of investments in such instruments reached $ 8 billion, CoinShares emphasized.
