Crypto Funds Achieve $7.05 Billion Inflows
Cryptocurrency funds attracted $7.05 billion in May, rising to $167 billion in assets under management. Institutional interest increased following the approval of spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs, highlighting crypto’s dual role as a volatile asset and hedge against uncertainties. “Bitcoin is starting to come into its own again, underscoring its dual appeal as both a high-volatility asset and a hedge against market uncertainties,” said Nicolas Lin, CEO of Aether Holdings.
Driven by the expectation of a weaker dollar and U.S. investment concerns, crypto is poised as a diversified portfolio component. Record inflows into BTC and ETH funds were notably high, with Bitcoin accounting for $5.5 billion, underscoring its popularity.
Market players, including Nicolas Lin, CEO of Aether Holdings, echoed crypto’s growing status. Lin noted Bitcoin’s dual appeal amidst market volatility, while Nic Puckri of Coin Bureau observed the enduring strength of Bitcoin against a declining dollar.
