  • The US saw most of the inflows at US$610m, impacted by incumbent issuer Grayscale, which saw further outflows totalling US$436m last week.
  • Blockchain equities continued to see outflows totalling US$81m last week, suggesting equity investors are a little cautious at present.

Digital asset investment products saw weekly inflows totalling US$598m, marking the fourth consecutive week of inflows. Year-to-date inflows have now surpassed the US$5.7bn mark, accounting for 55% of the record inflows witnessed in 2021. Earlier in the week, total assets under management (AuM) peaked at US$68.3bn, the highest point since December 2021, although still a way off the US$87bn all-time high seen in November 2021.

Regionally, the focus remains on the US, seeing most of the inflows at US$610m, impacted by incumbent issuer Grayscale, which saw further outflows totalling US$436m last week. Brazil and Switzerland saw minor inflows at US$8.2m and US$2.1m respectively, while both Canada and Sweden saw outflows totalling US$18m and US$8m respectively.

Bitcoin saw US$570m inflows last week, bringing year-to-date inflows to US$5.6bn, although recent price rises have prompted minor inflows into short-bitcoin positions which totalled US$3.9m.

Ethereum saw US$17m inflows last week, while Chainlink and XRP saw inflows of US$1.8m and US$1.1m respectively. Recent outages for Solana have likely impacted sentiment and consequently saw outflows of US$3m.

Blockchain equities continued to see outflows totalling US$81m last week, suggesting equity investors are a little cautious at present.

  • Two Departments: Support for Reinsurance Institutions to Increase Capital and Issue Supplementary Capital Tools

It also supports reinsurance institutions in leveraging their professional technical advantages to assist the insurance industry in reducing risk.

  • Sources: Saudi Arabia Plans to Expand Oil Pipeline to Red Sea, Increasing Capacity by 2 Million Barrels Daily to Bypass Strait of Hormuz

    On July 7, five informed sources revealed that Saudi Arabia is considering expanding the crude oil pipeline capacity to its western coast on the Red Sea, allowing Saudi Arabia and its neighbors to transport more oil without passing through the Strait of Hormuz. This east-west pipeline, built in the early 1980s, has gained strategic importance since the outbreak of the Iran war in February and the disruption of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The pipeline can deliver up to 7 million barrels of crude oil per day to the Red Sea port. The CEO of Saudi Aramco stated in May that approximately 2 million barrels are supplied to west coast refineries, while about 5 million barrels are for export. Sources indicate that Saudi Arabia is in preliminary discussions with some neighboring countries regarding the pipeline expansion, aiming to add about 2 million barrels of pipeline capacity per day. It remains unclear whether Aramco's planned expansion involves upgrading existing infrastructure or constructing new pipelines. One source mentioned that the expansion plan also includes a smaller refined oil pipeline. Two sources indicated that the expansion scale could range from 1 million to 2 million barrels per day, with refined oil also being considered. Another source stated that the project would take several years and cost billions of dollars, requiring adjustments to Saudi crude pricing mechanisms.
