From CoinShares Research Blog by James Butterfill

Ethereum push outflows into a 3rd week, signs sentiment is turning for Bitcoin

  • Digital asset investment products saw a third consecutive week of outflows totalling US$30m, with last week indicating a significant stemming of the outflows.
  • Ethereum saw the largest outflows since August 2022, totalling US$61m, bringing the last two weeks of outflows to US$119m, making it the worst performing asset year-to-date in terms of net flows.
  • Conversely, multi-asset and Bitcoin ETPs led the inflows with US$18m and US$10m respectively.

Digital asset investment products saw a third consecutive week of outflows totalling US$30m, with last week indicating a significant stemming of the outflows. In contrast to prior weeks, most providers saw minor inflows, although this was offset by incumbent Grayscale seeing US$153m outflows. Trading volumes rose by 43% week-on-week to US$6.2bn but remain well below the US$14.2bn weekly average for the year so far.

Regionally, the US saw US$43m inflows, as did Brazil and Australia with inflows of US$7.6m and US$3m respectively. Negative sentiment pervaded Germany, Hong Kong, Canada and Switzerland with outflows of US$29m, US$23m, US$14m and US$13m respectively.

Ethereum saw the largest outflows since August 2022, totalling US$61m, bringing the last two weeks of outflows to US$119m, making it the worst performing asset year-to-date in terms of net flows.

Conversely, multi-asset and Bitcoin ETPs led the inflows with US$18m and US$10m respectively. Short-bitcoin also saw a rise in outflows totalling US$4.2m last week, suggesting sentiment may be turning. A range of altcoins saw inflows, most notable were Solana (US$1.6m) and Litecoin (US$1.4m).

Blockchain equities, despite the positive sentiment for crypto this year, have suffered outflows of US$545m this year, representing 19% of AuM.

  • Ethereum core developers introduce EIP-7732

    Ethereum core developers have announced the release of EIP-7732, which is the formal specification of Enshrined Proposer-Builder Separation (ePBS). EIP-7732 is an upgrade only for the consensus layer, which separates execution verification from consensus verification and embeds PBS directly into Ethereum's consensus layer. PBS refers to the separation of block proposers and builders. EIP-7732 includes modifications to the beacon chain, fork selection rules, and P2P communication, and allows validators to play the role of builders. Builders are complex participants who build blocks to extract MEV. ePBS provides trustless exchange between proposers and builders, and enables validators to effectively utilize CPU. The implementation scheme has a Payload Timeliness Committee (PTC), which votes on the timeliness of payload releases by builders, and is a subset of the validation committee. The design of EIP-7732 is also compatible with future upgrades, such as the inclusion list.
