Capital is flooding digital assets at a record pace this year, according to Wall Street Bank JPMorgan (JPM), marking a strong contrast to the decrease in flows in private capital and private credit markets.
JPMorgan estimates that net capital tickets in digital assets have reached $ 60 billion in the year to date, a jump of almost 50% since the last update of the company at the end of May, the bank said on a report on Wednesday.
This figure includes cryptogue funds, futures activity of Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and risk cryptographic funds, and puts 2024 on the way to eclipse the record last year.
“The increase in capital entries in digital assets in recent months has probably been supported by favorable regulations in the United States,” wrote analysts led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou.
In particular, the approval of the Genius Law in Congress provided so long as a expected regulatory clarity around the stable, establishing global standards for tokens backed by dollar and triggering competitive responses abroad, the authors wrote.
China is ahead with its Yuan digital deployment, and a stablcoin backed by Yuan is now in process in Hong Kong.
Meanwhile, the law of clarity, which currently moves through Congress, aims to define whether digital assets are basic values or products, which can make the US very attractive to crypto-national companies compared to EU markets in the framework of cryptographic assignments (Mica), according to the report.
This most friendly regulatory climate is feeding a resurgence in private and public cryptography markets.
The financing of Crypto Venture Capital (VC) has increased, while public market interest is growing after the initial public offer of Circle (CRCL) (OPI) and a wave of new presentations with the stock exchange and values commission (SEC), the bank said.
Altcoins are also experiencing a renewed attention of investors, according to the report, and Ether (ETH), in particular, has benefited from its central role in decentralized finances (Defi) and intelligent contracts, and is increasingly added to corporate treasure bonds together with Bitcoin.
Asset administrators have begun to explore the new funds (ETF) based on the exchange of cryptocurrencies based on Altcoin, some with rethinking characteristics, pointing out the increase in institutional appetite beyond Bitcoin (BTC), the report added.
