CoinShares Volume 151: Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report

Validated Individual Expert

Recent US Government Quagmire and Treasure prices fuel inflows of US$21m

CoinShares
  • Digital asset investment products saw inflows last week for the first time in 6 weeks totalling US$21m.
  • We believe the inflows are a reaction to a combination of positive price momentum, fears over US government debt prices and the recent quagmire over government funding.
  • Solana continues to shine, with inflows of US$5m, marking its 27th week of inflows and just 4 weeks of outflows this year.

Digital asset investment products saw inflows last week for the first time in 6 weeks totalling US$21m. Earlier in the week it looked as if it would be another week of outflows, with the inflows coming late in the week (Friday) in what we believe is a reaction to a combination of positive price momentum, fears over US government debt prices and the recent quagmire over government funding. Despite this most recent price pick up, volumes remain seasonally low in both the investment product market and the broader crypto market.

The recent regional divergence persists, with the US seeing outflows totalling US$19m last week, while Europe and Canada saw inflows of US$23m and US$17m respectively.

Bitcoin inflows totalled US$20m last week, seeing the majority of inflows, while outflows continue in short-bitcoin which saw US$1.5m last week, bringing outflows since April to US$85m.

Very little activity was seen in the altcoin space, Solana continues to shine, with inflows of US$5m, marking its 27th week of inflows and just 4 weeks of outflows this year, highlighting it as the most loved altcoin this year. Ethereum saw outflows for a 7th consecutive week, totalling US$1.5m, marking it as the least loved altcoin.

Blockchain equities saw outflows of US$8.4m, inline with a broader sell-off in the technology sector.

  • Trump: Data Centers May Be More Important Than Oil

    August 7 news, U.S. President Trump said in an interview with Punchbowl News, "I saw the other day that Texas seems to be opposed to building data centers. I think that's a mistake. I'm not taking a position—I just think it's a mistake, because there are other communities that want to build data centers. When a community is willing to accept data centers, it means a lot of money will flow into that community. I don't think they're ugly. Some of the data centers I've seen are the most incredible buildings I've ever seen. They are very important to the economy. If Texas says no to data centers, that's a mistake, because data centers may be more important than oil."

  • Trump to Meet with Mining Executives

    On August 7, according to CCTV International News, US President Trump will convene executives from some of the world's largest mining companies at the US State Department on August 7 local time, in an effort to take action to 'secure critical mineral supplies for the US and its allies.' Reuters reported that the US urgently needs critical minerals to replenish weapons inventories depleted during the war against Iran. During the more than five-month war with Iran, the US military expended large quantities of precision-guided missiles and air defense interceptors. US defense officials and lawmakers have warned that given existing production capacity constraints, replenishing some stockpiles could take years—although the Trump administration has denied reports of a so-called 'severe shortage of ammunition stockpiles.' According to Pentagon officials and defense companies, supplies of minerals such as rare earths, tungsten, germanium, and scandium are essential for manufacturing precision-guided missiles, fighter jets, armored vehicles, infrared sensors, and other advanced weapons systems. Expected attendees include industry giants such as global mining giant Rio Tinto Group, Australia's BHP, US Freeport-McMoRan, US Mountain Pass Materials, US Rare Earths, US Energy Fuels, and Canada's Metals Company. According to sources, the Trump administration plans to announce multiple deals and memorandums of understanding.
