Bitcoin attracts significant investments, accounting for 98% of inflows into digital asset products, according to CoinShares research.

The last few weeks have been dominated by Bitcoin (BTC) in the global financial markets. A new hope for institutional investors, Bitcoin has created ripples of influence, particularly in the realm of cryptocurrency, according to the latest insights provided by CoinShares.

James Butterfill, the lead researcher at CoinShares, provided an illuminating perspective on this phenomenon on July 3. His research underscored an influx of approximately $311 million funneled into Bitcoin-centric products during the past fortnight, overshadowing all other cryptocurrency product investments. The lion's share, a stunning 98% of digital asset flows, belonged to Bitcoin during this period, highlighting the revived interest in this premier cryptocurrency.

This significant inflow into Bitcoin is a departure from the preceding nine weeks when the currency experienced continual outflows. Even short-term Bitcoin products didn't escape this trend, as they noted a slight outflow of about $1 million in the past week.

Interestingly, it is not the first time this year that Bitcoin has pulled off such a feat. The cryptocurrency has successfully accounted for 98% of investment product inflows twice now in 2023, reflecting its growing market dominance. This renewed dominance has been fueled by an uptick in Bitcoin's price.

One event that sparked this spike is BlackRock's application for a spot Bitcoin ETF on June 15. This move catalyzed similar ventures by Valkyrie, Wisdom Tree, and Fidelity. Fireblocks CEO Michael Shaulov commented on the renewed allure of Bitcoin and Ether (ETH) among institutional investors. However, he noted that alternate cryptocurrencies have not seen a similar level of interest.

Bitcoin has managed to command the attention and resources of institutional investors in recent weeks, becoming the prime focus once more in the vast ocean of cryptocurrencies.
