Bitcoin continues dominance as 3rd week of fund inflows correct previous months’ outflows

A third straight week of positive digital asset inflows has fully corrected nine previous weeks of outflows for the market, according to a report from CoinShares published on July 10. 

This week’s inflows registered $136 million. Bitcoin (BTC) funds continued their trend of holding the anchor position, with 98% of the inflows coming into BTC. The other 2% mostly came into Ether (ETH), multi-asset holdings and a handful of altcoins.

After nine weeks in which digital asset outflows outpaced inflows, this third consecutive week of positive movement brings the current streak’s total to $470 million. According to CoinShares, this total fully corrects for the previous outflow streak.

Bitcoin inflows showed no signs of slowing down this past week after posting yearlong highs in the previous two. As Cointelegraph previously reported, BTC inflows for last week were $123 million. This week adds $10 million, bringing the two-week inflow haul for BTC alone to $256 million.

This continues Bitcoin’s crypto market dominance by extending its total market cap from last week’s 51.46% to a reported 51.66% share as of July 11.

In other good news for hodlers, blockchain equities inflows reached a yearlong high of $15 million. This more than doubled last week’s $6.8 million, which snapped a nine-week outflow streak of its own, according to CoinShares.

However, there may be some indication of equilibrium on the horizon, as overall liquidity appears to be down. According to the report, trading volume has hit a “seasonal low,” imitating cycles from previous years that saw low liquidity in July and August.

Despite the continuing positive news surrounding inflows, some investors appear to be getting nervous over the lack of a clear trend.

Positive sentiment generated by the expectation that one or more companies would finally receive authorization from the United States government to offer BTC as a spot exchange-traded fund may be tapering off as the process wears on.

There also remains an air of uncertainty, as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s ongoing litigation against Binance and Coinbase continues with no clear sign as to how the courts will decide.
