According to CoinShares, investment products focused on Cardano witnessed a remarkable influx of $500,000 over the past week.

In contrast, Bitcoin experienced significant outflows amounting to $38 million, accounting for a substantial 80% of the total withdrawal from the market during this period. These outflows, combined with the reduction in Short Bitcoin positions, highlight the prevailing investor sentiment that has primarily revolved around BTC.
Overall, CoinShares' report suggests a trend of investors diversifying their portfolios by venturing into alternative cryptocurrencies. While digital asset investment products, on the whole, experienced outflows, Cardano became an enticing choice for investors, attracting significant inflows. At the same time, the dominance of Bitcoin in terms of outflows indicates that investor attention has remained focused on this flagship cryptocurrency.
