This comes at a time when volumes in crypto exchange traded products are historically low, according to CoinShares.

The world’s largest cryptocurrency by market value, bitcoin (BTC) witnessed a fourth consecutive week of inflows totaling $12 million, while short-bitcoin investment products saw outlaws totaling a record $15 million.

The price of bitcoin has not moved much over the 30 days, trading in a range between $18,800-$22,590.

Ether had minor outflows of $2.2 million, highlighting the continued hesitancy amongst investors post-Merge, according to CoinShares.

“Recent feedback from clients suggest concern for its regulatory status as a security now [that] it offers a staking yield,” said the report.
