Cryptocurrency investment products continue to attract capital, with another $245 million flowing into the market last week, according to the latest CoinShares report. This brings the year-to-date figure to a staggering $20.48 billion, a testament to the growing institutional interest in digital assets.
Bitcoin Dominates the Scene
As expected, Bitcoin (BTC) remained the major draw, with several ETFs launched by prominent financial institutions like BlackRock and Franklin Templeton attracting a massive $519 million. This hefty sum represents a whopping 97.9% of all capital injected into crypto-related investment products over the past week. Bitcoin’s dominance underscores its continued prominence within the crypto landscape.
Cardano Makes Strides
While Bitcoin undeniably leads the pack, other digital assets are attracting investor attention. Cardano (ADA) has emerged as a notable second-place contender, with its associated ETPs witnessing a significant surge in inflows.
Last week alone, Cardano ETPs attracted $1.2 million, a remarkable 300% increase compared to the previous week. This impressive performance has propelled Cardano to the second position among all crypto ETPs year-to-date, attracting $11 million from traditional investors since the beginning of 2024.
Chang Hard Fork Fuels Optimism
Cardano’s recent momentum can be partly attributed to the highly anticipated Chang hard fork. This landmark event, as reported by U.Today, promises to usher in an era of ultimate decentralization for Cardano. The hard fork will empower ADA stakeholders through voting rights over the blockchain’s treasury, marking a significant step toward community-driven governance. Additionally, the adoption of the Cardano Constitution will solidify the principles and regulations underpinning the blockchain’s decentralized operation.

The influx of capital into crypto ETPs underscores the growing institutional acceptance of digital assets. With Bitcoin maintaining its dominance and Cardano experiencing a surge in interest, the future of the crypto market appears bright. As the Chang hard fork approaches, Cardano’s performance will be closely monitored to assess its long-term impact on the crypto ecosystem.
