最新报道:According to CoinShares, Ethereum has been leading the way throughout August, driving cryptocurrency inflows to $2.48 billion last week. This surge brings August inflows to $4.37 billion and year-to-date (YTD) inflows to $35.5 billion. However, despite this positive momentum, total assets under management (AUM) have fallen 10% from their recent high to $219 billion due to macroeconomic concerns last Friday. Ethereum led cryptocurrency inflows during the August recovery, while Bitcoin lagged. CoinShares' latest report shows that Ethereum continues to outperform Bitcoin in investor preference. Last week, it attracted $1.4 billion in positive weekly inflows, bringing total cryptocurrency inflows to $2.48 billion. Meanwhile, Bitcoin saw inflows of $748 million. Following a series of positive inflows led by altcoins, Ethereum has now accumulated $3.95 billion in inflows in August. Meanwhile, Bitcoin saw net outflows of $301 million in August, while other altcoins benefited from optimism about potential US exchange-traded fund (ETF) launches. However, according to James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, cryptocurrency inflows could have been higher last week if not for negative price volatility and outflows following Friday's core PCE data release. Macroeconomic data dampened expectations of a September rate cut by the Federal Reserve (Fed). Analysts said Friday's pullback reflected profit-taking rather than broad market weakness, as inflows remained dispersed across regions. The previous week, CoinShares reported a volatile week for cryptocurrencies, with outflows of $1.43 billion, the largest since March. Bitcoin led these outflows, reaching $1 billion, while Ethereum limited its losses to $440 million. This reflects the growing resilience of Ethereum-centric products. So far this month, outflows have stood at $201 million. This represents a net inflow of $5 billion, while Bitcoin has seen net outflows of $1 billion. Investor sentiment shifted sharply this week, influenced by US monetary policy signals. Early pessimism about the Fed's actions triggered an initial outflow of $2 billion. However, after Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium, the market interpreted a more dovish tone than expected, leading to inflows of $594 million later in the week. Ethereum benefited the most from this shift, highlighting the divergence in investor preferences between Ethereum and Bitcoin. In August, Ethereum's share of investment products saw significant growth, with year-to-date inflows accounting for 26% of total assets under management, compared to Bitcoin's 11%. This trend highlights growing investor appetite for Ethereum, driven by the growth of the Ethereum network ecosystem and the popularity of DeFi. Despite a slight pullback on Friday, broad-based inflows indicate renewed investor confidence in digital assets, particularly Ethereum. Expectations of ETFs further bolstered optimism for altcoins. While Bitcoin has faced recent headwinds from outflows and an overall contraction in assets under management, the digital asset market appears poised for selective growth.
