Before Sept. 25, crypto ETPs had experienced outflows for several weeks, according to the report. But beginning in the week of Sept. 25–29, the sector began experiencing sustained weekly inflows. The amount of inflows also increased over time. The week ending on Nov. 24 saw the largest inflows of the entire nine-week period.

CoinShares stated that Canadian and German ETPs made up the largest portion of inflows for the week, at 87%. United States inflows were subdued at $30 million.

Crypto funds as a whole now have $45.4 billion in assets under management, the highest in 18 months.

In a previous report, CoinShares speculated that these recent inflows may be influenced by growing optimism that a U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF will be approved. On Nov. 22, BlackRock met with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in an attempt to make progress toward this goal. Grayscale met with the SEC for similar reasons.
