Macro environment support and changes in US politics drive overall crypto rally
Since the Federal Reserve began its current rate cut cycle in September, Bitcoin has seen net inflows of $9 billion. CoinShares believes that the combination of macro environment support and the significant changes in the US political system may be the reason for the surge in investor sentiment.
Ethereum, which has been struggling, saw inflows of $157 million last week, the largest inflow since its launch in July this year, signaling a significant improvement in market sentiment.
Other Altcoins also saw capital inflows, particularly Solana with net inflows of $3.9 million, Uniswap with $1 million, and TRON with $500,000. There were also $61 million in inflows to blockchain-related stocks.
Bitcoin hit a new all-time high of $89,530 this morning, and spot Bitcoin ETFs and crypto-related companies like MicroStrategy and Coinbase have seen impressive stock price gains.
