Cryptocurrency market’s recent correction creates new opportunities for investors, with Ethereum emerging as the top gainer. CoinShares’ report reveals weekly inflows to crypto asset investment products reached $176 million, showing investors view price weakness as a buying opportunity.
Ethereum’s Rise and Bitcoin’s Uncertainty

Spot-based ETFs launched in the US played a significant role in this rise, marking the highest inflow since 2021. Access NEWSLINKER to get the latest technology news.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin started the week with inflows but recorded strong inflows in recent days, reaching a net weekly total of $13 million. However, notable outflows in short-focused Bitcoin ETPs were observed. The $16 million outflow is the largest since May 2023, and short positions have dropped to their lowest level since the start of the year. This indicates that investors are moving away from short-term bearish expectations and regaining confidence in the market.
