Global Digital Asset-Based Exchange Traded Products AUM Reaches All-Time High $166 Bn; 10% Surge in January

Fineqia International Inc. (CSE:FNQ)

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA, February 6, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Fineqia International Inc. (the "Company" or "Fineqia") (CSE: FNQ) (OTC: FNQQF) (Frankfurt: FNQA), a digital asset and investment business, announces that its analysis of global Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) with digital assets as underlying collateral revealed Assets Under Management (AUM) reached a new all-time high (ATH) of $166.6 billion in January, recording a 10.4% increase from $150.9 billion at the beginning of the year.

The growth of ETPs, which include Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and Exchange Traded Notes (ETNs) outpaced the broader digital asset market growth in January. The total market capitalization of digital assets increased by 7.6%, reaching $3.66 trillion from $3.34 trillion at the end of 2024. This reflects a 37% premium growth for ETPs holding digital assets over the month. Bitcoin (BTC) spot ETFs were the primary driver, but altcoin ETPs also contributed to the net inflow observed in recent weeks.

"2024 marked the year of institutional acceptance of digital asset ETPs with BTC spot ETFs leading the charge and attracting record-breaking inflows," said Fineqia’s CEO Bundeep Singh Rangar. "As we step into 2025, investor confidence continues to grow particularly for other ETPs aside from Bitcoin."

In January, BTC's price rose by 9.4%, reaching $102,196 from $93,425. Over the same period, the AUM of BTC ETPs increased by 11.3% to $138.6 billion from $124.6 billion, surpassing the previous all-time high recorded in December. This reflects a 20% premium growth for ETPs holding BTC relative to the underlying asset, continuing the net inflow trend observed throughout 2024 into the start of 2025.

Ethereum (ETH) saw a 1.2% price decline in January, falling to $3,293 from $3,332 at the end of December. Simultaneously, the AUM of ETH ETPs decreased by 1.3% to $16.0 billion from $16.3 billion. The near-perfect correlation between ETH price movements and ETP AUM fluctuations indicates neutral flows for the month, marking a pause after a strong finish to 2024, when November and December saw over $2 billion in net inflows.

ETPs representing a diversified basket of cryptocurrencies experienced a 11.3% rise in AUM during January, growing to $4.71 billion from $4.23 billion. The AUM of ETPs tracking an index of alternative coins rose 24.7% in January reaching $7.23 billion from $5.79 billion at the end of 2024.

Notably, ETPs holding Ripple (XRP) as the underlying asset saw a 66.8% increase in AUM during January, climbing to $1.75 billion from $1.05 billion at the end of 2024. Other major altcoins also experienced growth with ETPs holding Solana (SOL) rising 22.9% in AUM to $2.6 billion from $2.12 billion at December’s close.

Cardano (ADA) AUM grew 25.5% in January, rising to $249.6 million from $198.8 at the end of 2024. The growth was mainly due to the launch of the Fineqia Cardano FTSE Enhanced Yield ETN (Ticker: YADA; ISIN: LI1408648106), which launched on Jan, 24 and garnered $31.3 million in AUM by the end of the month.

Fineqia Research's AUM calculation factors in the launch or closure of ETPs during any stated period. The number of tracked ETPs stood at 235 as of end of January.
