A new report from CoinShares revealed significant inflows of $441 million into digital asset investment products over the past week.
The July 8 report highlighted a substantial inflow into Bitcoin amounting to $398 million. CoinShares attributed this buying spree to the recent weakness in Bitcoin prices, activity from the defunct Mt. Gox exchange, and selling pressure from the German government.
Most inflows were seen in the United States, totaling $384 million, followed by Hong Kong with $32 million, Switzerland with $24 million, and Canada with $12 million. In contrast, Germany experienced outflows amounting to $23 million.
Last week marked significant activity for the now-defunct Japanese crypto exchange Mt. Gox. On July 5, the exchange moved over 47,000 BTC, valued at approximately $2.7 billion at the time, to an unknown wallet address as it began repaying its creditors.
Repayments in both Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash to selected creditors commenced on the same day, via designated cryptocurrency exchanges as outlined in Mt. Gox’s rehabilitation plan. The repayment process required creditors to confirm the validity of their accounts and agree to the Agency Receipt Agreement.
Some analysts speculate that many of the former Mt. Gox creditors might sell their Bitcoin, given its value has surged by over 8,500% since the exchange’s collapse.
Additionally, during the same week, the German government moved 3,000 BTC, worth around $172 million at the time, to various crypto exchanges and an unknown wallet.
Summary Review: The significant inflows into digital asset investment products, totaling $441 million, indicate strong investor interest despite recent market turbulence. The inflows were driven by Bitcoin’s price weakness, activities related to Mt. Gox’s repayments, and the German government’s BTC sell-off. These factors contributed to substantial buying opportunities, particularly in the United States. As the market adjusts to these developments, the continued movement of large Bitcoin holdings and government sales will be closely watched by investors and analysts alike.
