Bitcoin Investment Outshines Altcoins as October Closes

Crypto investment products saw net inflows of $901 million in the last week of October, with Bitcoin-based products dominating the market—whether through exchange-traded funds or private investments.

According to CoinShares , Bitcoin (BTC) led with $920 million in net inflows, while short-Bitcoin products saw outflows of $1.3 million, suggesting a turn toward bullish sentiment for the asset.

In contrast, Ethereum (ETH) suffered substantial outflows, losing $35 million, marking its weakest weekly performance in recent months.

Among altcoins, Solana captured investor interest with $10.9 million in inflows, followed by multi-asset products at $2.1 million.

The pivot from altcoin-based products to Bitcoin investments signals growing traditional investor confidence in Bitcoin as the market steadies into year-end.

U.S. Dominates Digital Asset Investments

The U.S. dominated digital asset inflows in the final week of October, with U.S.-based crypto investment products pulling in $906 million, the bulk of global demand.

With nearly a dozen Bitcoin ETFs and multiple Ethereum ETFs, the U.S. remains a central hub for crypto investment products.

By contrast, other regions saw moderate interest: Germany recorded $14.7 million in inflows, while Switzerland added $9.2 million.

Meanwhile, Canada, Brazil, and Hong Kong saw outflows of $10.1 million, $3.6 million, and $2.7 million, respectively.

CoinShares attributed the surge in U.S. BTC product inflows to growing optimism around the upcoming elections, where Republican candidate Donald Trump—who has taken a notably pro-crypto stance—leads Democratic candidate Kamala Harris by over 30% in recent polls.
