CoinShares: U.S. Election Influences $406M Inflows to Crypto Funds Rebound
CoinShares reports that after $147 million in outflows the week before, net inflows into international crypto funds managed by asset managers like BlackRock, Bitwise, Fidelity, Grayscale, ProShares, and 21Shares recovered to net inflows of $407 million last week. James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares, said Monday that the impending U.S. elections have probably had a greater impact on recent investor choices than monetary policy outlooks. According to Butterfill, U.S.-based funds contributed $406 million, dominating last week’s net inflows.
This trend is evident in the fact that stronger-than-expected economic data had little impact on stemming outflows, whereas the recent U.S. vice presidential debate and a subsequent shift in polling towards the Republicans, perceived as more supportive of digital assets, led to an immediate boost in inflows and prices,
