Despite $646 million worth of weekly inflows into digital asset investment products, investor appetite for exchange-traded funds (ETFs) may be on the decline, according to CoinShares.“Despite this, there are signs that appetite from ETF investors is moderating, not achieving the weekly flow levels seen in early March, while volumes last week declined to US$17.4bn for the week compared to US$43bn in the first week of March.”

Since spot Bitcoin ETFs were approved in January, they have massed over 834,000 Bitcoin worth $60.4 billion in total on-chain holdings. ETFs have accumulated 4.24% of the current BTC supply, according to Dune data.

Short Bitcoin investment products saw outflows for the third consecutive week, totaling $9.5 million, suggesting “minor capitulation among bearish investors,” according to CoinShares.
