JPMorgan: So far this year, the inflow of funds into the crypto market has reached $60 billion, and investor interest in altcoins is rising

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, estimates from JPMorgan analysts suggest that capital inflows into digital assets have reached $60 billion year-to-date, primarily driven by inflows into crypto funds, active futures trading on the CME, and venture capital fundraising activities. Analysts noted that since the end of May, inflows have increased by nearly 50%, and are expected to easily surpass last year's historical record.

Analysts stated that the increasingly friendly regulatory environment in the U.S. is one of the key driving factors. Investor interest in altcoins is also on the rise. Among them, Ethereum is the biggest beneficiary, due to its dominance in the decentralized finance (DeFi) and smart contract sectors, as well as its increasing inclusion alongside Bitcoin in corporate treasury allocations. More and more asset management firms intend to launch altcoin-based crypto ETFs and introduce staking mechanisms.
