Institutions Pour $36,000,000 Into Bitcoin, Ethereum and One Additional Altcoin As Market Volatility Skyrockets: CoinShares

Digital asset manager CoinShares says institutional investment in crypto assets hit $36 million last week as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine rocked global markets.

In the latest Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly report, Coinshares says institutional inflows from the Americas canceled out last week’s European outflows.

“Digital asset investment products saw inflows totaling US$36m last week despite the ongoing turmoil in Eastern Europe and the anticipated negative sentiment. Interestingly, volumes in Bitcoin crypto exchanges that trade the RUB/USD pair have seen volumes rise by 121% week-on-week.

According to CoinShares, this marks the sixth week of investment inflows into digital asset products.

“Bitcoin saw inflows totaling US$17m last week, entering its 5th consecutive week of inflows totaling US$239m. Ethereum saw minor inflows totaling US$4.2m.”

“Unusually, most altcoins saw minor outflows last week. Solana and Litecoin were the primary focus of negative investor sentiment with outflows totaling US$2.6m and US$0.5m respectively.

Tezos was the only altcoin investment product to see inflows which totaled US$4.4m…”
