Crypto Fund Inflows Slow After Record Jolt From Bitcoin Futures ETF
The majority of inflows were bitcoin-related, with a total of $269 million pumped into investment funds focused on the original cryptocurrency.

Digital asset products investments cooled last week, ebbing from a record fueled by the debut of the first bitcoin futures exchange-traded fund.
Digital asset investment products saw a total of $288 million in inflows during the week ended Oct. 29, a report Monday by CoinShares showed. That’s down from a record $1.47 billion during the prior week, but it helped to push inflows to $8.7 billion for the year to date.
As in the previous week, the majority of new investments went into bitcoin-related funds, at about $269 million.
The decrease in flows coincided with a market pause: Bitcoin
Inflows into U.S.-based ETFs slowed as the initial hype that accompanied the launches faded. The new vehicles added $53 million of assets last week. The first bitcoin futures ETF, the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF, started trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Oct. 19 under the ticker BITO and quickly gathered over $1 billion in assets – the fastest-ever ETF to hit the milestone.
Altcoins flows
The Ethereum blockchain’s native cryptocurrency, ether
Other altcoins saw inflows last week, with funds focused on Solana garnering $15 million, Cardano $5 million and Polkadot $6.2 million. This comes after Solana’s SOL token hit a new record high of $218.90 on Oct. 25.
