Inflows accelerate to US$857.9M as CLARITY Act compromise lifts sentiment

• Digital asset investment products saw US$857.9m of inflows, the sixth consecutive positive week.

• Total AuM rose to US$160B, supported by Bitcoin breaking above US$80,000 mid-week on the back of the CLARITY Act stablecoin yield compromise.

• Bitcoin led with US$706.1M and altcoin participation broadened materially, with Solana, XRP and Ethereum all seeing inflows of US$47.6M, US$39.6M and US$77.1M respectively.

Digital asset investment products saw inflows of US$857.9m, a sixth consecutive positive week and the largest weekly total since 24th April. This likely reflects improving sentiment around the CLARITY Act, with senators Tillis and Alsobrooks releasing the final compromise text on stablecoin yield on 1st May and holding firm against banking-industry pushback on 4th May. Bitcoin broke above US$80,000 on Monday, its highest level since the February correction. The Senate Banking Committee markup is expected this coming week. Total AuM rose to US$160B.

Regionally, the US dominated with US$776.6M of inflows, a sharp recovery from US$47.5M the prior week. Germany saw US$50.6M, marginally above last week, while Switzerland recorded US$21.1m and Netherlands US$5.0M, suggesting a broader-based European bid alongside the US recovery.

Bitcoin saw US$706.1M of inflows, bringing year-to-date flows to US$4.9B. Short-bitcoin products saw US$14.4M of outflows, the largest weekly outflow this year, suggesting hedging positions are being unwound as conviction in the rally builds.

Ethereum saw US$77.1M of inflows, reversing US$81.6M of outflows the prior week. Solana recorded US$47.6M and XRP US$39.6M, both notable accelerations on recent activity. Multi-asset products were the only material outlier with US$5.5M of outflows.
