Election Euphoria for a Republican win Prompted US$2.2bn inflows

  • Digital asset investment products saw inflows of US$2.2bn last week, bringing year-to-date inflows to a record breaking US$29.2bn.
  • We believe euphoria around the prospect of a Republican victory were the likely reason for these inflows as they were in the first few days of last week, as polls have turned, we saw minor outflows on Friday.
  • Ethereum saw tepid inflows totalling US$9.5m and remains in stark contrast to the bullishness seen in Bitcoin or Solana.

Digital asset investment products saw inflows of US$2.2bn last week, bringing year-to-date inflows to a record breaking US$29.2bn. This, and recent price appreciation, has now pushed total assets under management (AuM) to over US$100bn for only the second time in history, matching levels seen in early June 2024 at US$102bn. Trading volumes rose by 67% week-on-week to US$19.2bn, representing 35% of total trading of bitcoin on trusted exchanges.

Regionally, the US saw US$2.2bn of inflows, while Germany also saw minor inflows of US$5.1m. We believe euphoria around the prospect of a Republican victory were the likely reason for these inflows as they were in the first few days of last week, as polls have turned, we saw minor outflows on Friday, highlighting how sensitive Bitcoin is to the US elections at present.

Bitcoin was almost the sole beneficiary, seeing US$2.2bn of inflows last week, although the recent price appreciation also prompted inflows into short-bitcoin of US$8.9m.

Ethereum saw tepid inflows totalling US$9.5m and remains in stark contrast to the bullishness seen in Bitcoin or Solana, which saw a further US$5.7m of inflows last week. A range of altcoins saw minor inflows, most notable being Polkadot (US$0.67m) and Arbitrum (US$0.2m)

  • Nvidia Surges Over 4% in After-Hours Trading, Earnings Guidance Exceeds Market Expectations

    On August 27, Nvidia (NVDA.US) rose over 4% in current after-hours trading, reaching $218.84. In news, Nvidia's earnings report released after the market closed on Wednesday showed that its Q2 2026 performance more than doubled compared to the same period last year, surpassing market estimates. During a conference call, company executives stated that Amazon will deploy an additional 2 million Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs). Due to accelerating demand, Nvidia's operating income for the fiscal year 2028 is expected to grow by about 70%, significantly exceeding analysts' estimated increase of 45%, crushing market expectations. Nvidia's Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress noted that even in the face of supply shortages, Nvidia's operating income for fiscal year 2028 is anticipated to experience rapid growth, with customer expectations indicating that growth will double. She mentioned that Nvidia has invested $50 billion in cutting-edge AI labs, and Wall Street investment firms will collaborate to support the construction of these labs. In the medium to long term, the revenue-sharing model could generate billions of dollars for the company, with demand from AI labs expected to contribute about one-quarter of Nvidia's business next year. Nvidia believes that supply bottlenecks will persist at least until fiscal year 2028, with current memory chips in an extreme pricing environment, combined with rising component costs, which will weigh on Nvidia's profit margins. The company estimates that its adjusted gross margin for Q3 will be 74%, down about 1 percentage point from 75% in Q2. Nvidia stated that it will increase product prices in the first quarter. Kress also mentioned that Nvidia has fully ramped up production of the next-generation Vera Rubin central processing unit, with a revenue opportunity of $40 billion per gigawatt (GW), and expects Vera Rubin to account for about 20% of data center operating income in Q3. CEO Jensen Huang stated that the supply chain capacity is sufficient to support Nvidia's confidence in achieving 70% growth in fiscal year 2028, adding that AI has reached a turning point, is doing useful work, and tokens are becoming productive and profitable. 'Now, computing power equals revenue,' he said.
