After a few weeks of investors pulling out of the crypto market, things have taken a turn. Last week saw a massive $441 million flowing back into crypto, suggesting that many see the recent dip as a buying opportunity.
Bitcoin Leads the Charge, But Altcoins Gain Traction
Bitcoin, as usual, attracted the most investment with $384 million flowing in. However, other cryptocurrencies, particularly Ethereum and Solana, also saw significant interest. Solana, in particular, had a great week, attracting $16 million in investments, making it the top-performing altcoin so far this year.
Big Players Are Also Investing
It’s not just individual investors who are bullish on crypto. Major investment firms like Ark Invest, Fidelity, and BlackRock have also reported similar trends in inflows.
Regional Differences
While the US market saw a strong inflow of $384 million into Bitcoin, not every region shared the same optimism. German-based funds experienced $23 million in outflows, possibly due to recent asset sales by the German government.
Market Stabilizing, But Still Bearish
Despite the recent inflows, the overall market remains bearish. Last week saw several major cryptocurrencies drop significantly, with Bitcoin hitting a low of $53,000. However, over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana have shown signs of recovery.
Solana’s Future Brightens
The $16 million investment in Solana-based products comes at a crucial time.
VanEck, a major asset manager, is planning to launch a Solana-based ETF, which could significantly boost the cryptocurrency’s adoption. /p>
