Volume 161: Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report

Repost from CoinShares Blog By James Butterfill: “Volume 161: Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report” The full report and all related findings are available on the official website of CoinShares Blog.

Continued inflows at US$43m, Blockchain equities see largest inflows on record

  • Digital asset investment products experienced their 11th straight week of inflows at $43m, with a notable increase in short position inflows due to recent price appreciation and perceived downside risks.
  • Regionally, Europe led with $43m inflows, the US followed with $14m (half in short positions), while Hong Kong and Brazil saw outflows of $8m and $4.6m, respectively.
  • Blockchain equities saw their largest weekly inflows on record at US$126m.

Digital asset investment products saw inflows totalling US$43m, the 11th consecutive week of inflows, but a marked decline relative to prior weeks. Recent price appreciation has also led to significant inflows into short positions as some investors see price downside potential.

Regionally, Europe continues to dominate the inflows, seeing US$43m of inflows, while the US saw only US$14m of inflows, with half of that being inflows into short positions. Hong Kong saw its second week of outflows totalling US$8m, Brazil also saw minor outflows of US$4.6m.

Bitcoin remains the primary focus of investors, seeing US$20m inflows, bringing year to date inflows to US$1.7bn. While short-bitcoin saw US$8.6m inflows, presumably as a proportion of investors see the current price rises as unsustainable.

In a remarkable turn-around this year, Ethereum saw its sixth week of inflows totalling US$10m. Just 7 weeks ago, Ethereum has seen outflows year to date of US$125m, this has now recovered to inflows totalling US$19m.

Solana and Avalanche saw inflows of US$3m and US$2m respectively, remaining firm favourites in the altcoin space.

Meanwhile, blockchain equities saw their largest weekly inflows on record at US$126m.

  • Vitalik Updates Ethereum Roadmap: Privacy, Post-Quantum Scaling, and Native Rollups Become New Priorities

    On August 10, Vitalik Buterin stated that he had compared the 2023 Ethereum roadmap with the current Strawmap. The overall direction still overlaps considerably, but some priorities and technical paths have been clearly adjusted, including raising the priority of quantum safety, downweighting VDF and some EVM improvements, and replacing old designs with solutions such as a unified binary tree, PBT, and new state types. He noted that the most notable change in the current Strawmap is the emergence of several new topics not included in the 2023 roadmap, reflecting a shift in Ethereum's R&D focus. These new priorities include: stronger native privacy support, aggressive scaling in a post-quantum context, specification streamlining for formal verification, Blob and Gas futures, native Rollups, and a more open design space for the future shape of the EVM. Vitalik also emphasized that Ethereum's scaling approach is shifting from 'expanding all activities comprehensively' to 'designing more scalable dedicated mechanisms for specific high-load scenarios,' and he regards STARK proofs and AI-accelerated formal verification as important foundations for the protocol's future. Overall, this update shows that the Ethereum roadmap is evolving toward quantum safety, privacy-first, censorship resistance, high performance, and simpler protocol design.
