Since the beginning, institutions have shown a bearish attitude towards Ethereum. This second-largest cryptocurrency, by market capitalization, had at first caught their eye. However, the currency was doing poorly and outflows followed. It appears that sentiment is changing among large investors as Ethereum now records inflows.
Ethereum Inflows Balloons
The Ethereum inflows have been increasing over the last few weeks. While they weren’t as large as the outflows during the bull market it did stop more than 2 years of inflows consecutively for the digital asset.
Last week would prove to be no different, given that Ethereum’s inflows had come out to $8 million, a low volume, but it was inflows nonetheless. The week before, when Ethereum had seen $2.5 million in inflows, was the one with the greatest inflows.

This week’s corrected numbers had revealed that this figure was not only too low but also off by over $100 million. The corrected data published this week showed that inflows to ETH reached $120million in a single-week, making it the biggest single-week inflow within a single year.
It’s a sign of how institutional investors are changing their views on altcoin. As the Merge is nearing, both small- and large investors have been swept away by the bullish sentiment, leading to more investment in the altcoin.
One Week of Inflows
The inflows were not limited to Ethereum, which was fortunate. Bullish sentiment was evident in almost all spheres of crypto market and investors responded accordingly. Inflows continued from bitcoin to investments in digital assets.

Bitcoin saw inflows of $16 million last week. The numbers of bitcoin inflows for last week were incorrect. Corrected data revealed a significantly higher rate with $206 million. However, the trend inflows were not restricted to long bitcoin. Short bitcoin was able to continue its streak with 0.6 million inflows.
With inflows totaling $27 million, digital asset investments products were the biggest winners of the week. The total asset under management has not been pushed back up to $30 billion with last week’s inflows. Europe accounted for most inflows, with Switzerland accounting for $16 million. USA and Germany are expected to see lower inflows, with $9 million and $5 millions respectively.
These data show how investors have viewed the market since the recovery. It is not clear if the current decline in the prices will result in continued inflows for this week.
