$12.8B

Spot crypto ETFs trading in the US saw $12.8 billion of inflows last month, a record high for the investment vehicles, according to Bloomberg senior analyst Eric Balchunas. This translates to $600 million in inflows per day, which is double the average. 

“As a group that’s more than any single ETF did, incl[uding] the Might VOO,” Balchunas said in a social media post. “Further, every ETF in category took in cash (ex the converted Trusts) with Bitcoin and Ether making equal contributions.” 

On July 14, bitcoin reached its all-time high of over $123,000, while ethereum climbed nearly 50% in the last 30 days to briefly touch the $3,900 level on July 28.

Jim Hwang, COO of crypto investment firm Firinne Capital, argued that strong inflows will extend into the future. “I strongly believe it will continue because institutions are really understanding how blockchains can update the financial rails,” Hwang told Sherwood News. “We’ll see more investors appreciating tokens that have real utility.”

XRP treasury firm trend grows as Evernorth, backed by Ripple Labs, enters the arena

The fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, XRP, is getting a new treasury firm: Evernorth.

The firm will list on the Nasdaq and expects to raise over $1 billion in gross proceeds from SBI, Ripple Labs, Pantera Capital, Kraken, and GSR, according to a press release. Chris Larsen, cofounder and executive chairman of Ripple, also announced investing 50 million XRP tokens worth $124.5 million. Net proceeds are dedicated for open-market acquisitions of XRP.

Evernorth joins a number of firms stockpiling XRP, such as VivoPower International, Trident Digital Tech Holdings, and Webus

The announcement comes during a fragile period for crypto markets, but the latest news has boosted XRP’s price and the asset is back to flat over the last seven days.
