CoinShares: $1.4 Billion Inflows into Digital Asset Investment Products Last Week
On April 20, CoinShares reported that inflows into digital asset investment products reached $1.4 billion last week, marking the highest weekly inflow since January and achieving positive growth for the third consecutive week. Bitcoin saw inflows of $1.116 billion, bringing the total inflows for the year to $3.1 billion. The price of Bitcoin has surpassed the $76,000 mark, indicating a significant technical breakthrough after two months of range-bound trading. In contrast, inflows into Bitcoin short products were only $1.4 million, suggesting that while there is still hedging demand, it remains limited. Ethereum attracted $328 million in inflows, the strongest week since January, bringing its total inflows for the year to $197 million, while XRP and Solana recorded outflows of $56 million and $2.3 million, respectively. -
Sources: Bank of Japan Unlikely to Raise Interest Rates in April Meeting
On April 20, sources familiar with the Bank of Japan's thinking revealed that the central bank is unlikely to raise interest rates next week. The diminishing hope for a swift end to the Middle East conflict has left Japan's economic and price outlook fraught with uncertainty. Although the final decision still carries some uncertainty and will depend on the progress of peace negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, the sources indicated that the bank prefers to maintain the status quo this month to allow more time to assess the impact of the conflict. One source stated, 'Given the current level of uncertainty, the Bank of Japan may consider it feasible to hold steady this month.' Another source echoed this sentiment. A third source noted that the Bank of Japan is unlikely to raise rates, as the market has already fully priced in the possibility of no rate hike this month. These sources mentioned that even if the Bank of Japan keeps rates unchanged next week, it is likely to signal readiness to raise rates as early as June, given the escalating inflationary pressures. -
