[JPMorgan: Approximately $50 Billion Flowed into Crypto Assets This Year, Q4 Momentum Improving] According to a report by Jinse Finance on October 9, JPMorgan analysts estimated in a report released on Wednesday that approximately $50 billion has flowed into digital assets so far this year, with an annualized pace of about $66 billion. This is higher than the annualized level of $52 billion in May but still about half the pace of last year. The report was led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou. Analysts estimated the inflows by aggregating data from crypto fund flows, CME futures implied flows, crypto venture capital fundraising, and purchases by publicly listed mining companies and corporate treasuries. This time, private company treasuries, private mining companies, and government-related entities were also included in the statistics. The analysts noted that inflows in the first half of the year mainly came from Bitcoin purchases by Strategy and crypto venture capital fundraising. ETF fund flows were a drag during that period, with significant outflows in May and June. However, since August, ETF fund flows have improved, turning positive for the year. Yet, if calculated from the market correction starting on October 10, 2025, cumulative ETF fund flows remain negative. Institutional positions in CME Bitcoin and Ethereum futures have increased over the past two months, with Bitcoin positions surpassing previous peaks and Ethereum positions approaching the highs of October 2025. Leverage in perpetual contracts on offshore exchanges has declined from post-correction peaks but remains above historical averages. Trend-following traders, including commodity trading advisors, have started rebuilding long positions in Bitcoin and Ethereum. The analysts also stated that Bitcoin mining companies have been net sellers this year, with net sales of approximately $1.8 billion. This is primarily driven by publicly listed mining companies, which have shifted from hoarding coins to selling newly mined tokens, and in some cases, reducing existing holdings to fund artificial intelligence infrastructure expenditures.
