Bitcoin Leads Crypto Inflows as Economic Indicators Take Center Stage

Crypto fund flows have seen an interesting trend in recent weeks, as highlighted by CoinShares' latest weekly update. According to the report, $48 million in inflows were recorded into digital asset investment products over the past week.

However, this figure is somewhat misleading, as it masks a more complex picture influenced by broader economic factors. The initial days of the week saw an influx nearing $1 billion into digital asset products, but macroeconomic data releases and the US Federal Reserve's minutes triggered a substantial $940 million outflow in the latter half.

James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares, noted that this marks the end of the post-US election honeymoon, with macroeconomic indicators resuming their central role in steering asset prices.
