As an analyst with years of experience in the financial sector, I find it fascinating to observe the intricate dance between traditional markets and digital assets. The surge in digital asset inflows to $2.2 billion, a level not seen since July, is undeniably captivating. This trend seems to be influenced by the US presidential race, with optimism for a potential Republican victory driving investors towards digital assets due to their perceived support.


With the U.S. presidential election heating up as we approach Election Day, recent figures indicate that there’s been a significant increase in investments into digital assets, totaling approximately $2.2 billion over the past week.

This graph reached its peak since last July, driven by optimism about a possible Republican victory in the upcoming election.

Inflows Surge Amid US Election Optimism

As per the most recent edition of CoinShares’ Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report, trading volumes of investment products have experienced a significant 30% increase, leading to price growth and bringing total managed assets remarkably close to the $100 billion threshold. However, the distribution of these inflows showed considerable regional differences. For the week in question, the United States emerged as the clear frontrunner with impressive inflows amounting to $2.3 billion.

The digital asset manager stated,

Our confidence seems to be increasing due to heightened anticipation of a Republican win in the approaching U.S. elections, given their reputation for being more favorable towards digital assets.

Australia experienced an inflow of approximately $1.4 million, making it one of the few countries to record a positive flow. Conversely, most other nations registered small outflows, with Canada, Sweden, and Switzerland being among those experiencing the highest outflows at around $20 million, $18 million, and $15 million respectively.

In the same timeframe, I observed outflows of approximately $9 million from Brazil, $6 million from Germany, and a relatively smaller outflow of around $1.5 million in Hong Kong.

Bitcoin Leads While Multi-Asset Products Face Setback

During the last week, Bitcoin dominated the market with a massive $2.13 billion flowing into it. Moreover, its price hike piqued curiosity regarding short-bitcoin products, drawing in an additional $12 million. Remarkably, this was the highest inflow since March. Similarly, Ethereum saw $58 million pouring in as well.

In a similar trend, various alternative cryptocurrencies (altcoins) witnessed substantial investments. For instance, Solana attracted approximately $2.4 million, Litecoin garnered around $1.7 million, and XRP managed to secure about $700,000. Conversely, multi-asset investment products experienced a weekly drain of $5.3 million, marking the end of their remarkable 17-week run of consistent investments.

Cardano and Binance also recorded outflows of $1.5 million and $0.8 million respectively.
