Global Cryptocurrency Investment Trends in Early 2025: Notable Inflows and Market Analysis

Early 2025 Inflows for Crypto Investment Products Reach $585M in Just 3 Days

According to the latest report from CoinShares, digital asset investment products have experienced a staggering $585 million inflows within the first three days of January 2025. This remarkable surge is a testament to the ongoing interest and enthusiasm in the cryptocurrency market.

The data highlights that despite the tumultuous conclusion to 2024, where the crypto prices plummeted significantly, investors remain optimistic about the prospects of the asset class for the year ahead. This influx of capital has been fueled by the introduction of spot-based ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds) in the United States, which accounts for a massive $44.4 billion inflows.

In addition to this, other countries such as Switzerland have seen considerable inflows totaling a substantial $630 million. On the other hand, Canada and Sweden witnessed significant outflows of $707 million and $682 million respectively. It is evident that many investors are shifting their focus towards US-based products or simply realizing profits from previous investments.

Bitcoin appears to be leading the charge with a whopping $38 billion inflows throughout 2024, accounting for an impressive 29% of the total assets under management. Interestingly, short-Bitcoin investment products also garnered substantial attention, raking in a respectable $108 million compared to last year’s $116 million. Ethereum has rebounded remarkably by gaining $4.8 billion, representing approximately 26% of its asset base.

Solana, however, failed to garner the same level of interest, with only $69 million being directed towards it. The remaining altcoins (excluding Ethereum) contributed a substantial sum of $813 million in inflows, which is equivalent to an impressive 18% of their overall assets under management.

It’s worth noting that despite this sudden resurgence in enthusiasm, the market remains cautious. Bitcoin has briefly risen above $99,800, with many speculating it could potentially breach the coveted $100,000 mark. However, QCP Capital highlights the existence of a considerable “hefty sell wall” and increased selling pressure around this level.

In light of these factors, the likelihood of an imminent short squeeze appears less likely, considering the current funding levels have stabilized and sentiment indicators suggest a relatively neutral skew.
