According to him, since January 2024, 1300 new funds have emerged in the US market. The most successful in terms of funds raised are those based on digital assets. The list includes:

Inflow Dynamics

In July, spot Ethereum ETFs set a record for monthly capital inflow, reaching a historic $5.4 billion.

Since the beginning of August, fund inflows have totaled $1.19 billion, with $1.02 billion recorded on August 11 — a record for a single day. At the time of writing, ETH-ETF manages $25.71 billion, representing 4.77% of the supply of the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

In July, Bitcoin ETFs attracted $6.02 billion. In August, the situation changed: over $643 million was withdrawn in the first week, resulting in a negative net monthly inflow so far.

Over the past 14 days, Bitcoin ETFs have received a total of $424.8 million.

Earlier, on August 9, two of the most prestigious US universities — Harvard and Brown — reported purchasing shares of exchange-traded funds based on the first cryptocurrency.
