Inflows into bitcoin products and funds reached a record $6.4 billion this year, data from digital asset manager CoinShares showed, as investors bought the cryptocurrency amid wider government acceptance and positive momentum.
Bitcoin inflows last week were $95 million, the largest of any digital asset, while the cryptocurrency's eight-week rise was $2.8 billion, CoinShares data showed on Monday.

According to CoinShares data as of November 5, total inflows of cryptocurrency products and funds were $174 million for the 12th consecutive week of flows from institutional investors.
Bitcoin jumped more than 4 per cent to $66,555 on Monday, approaching a record high of $67,016.50 on October 20, while ether, which underpins the Ethereum blockchain, hit a record peak of $4,796.44.

"The rise in BTC (bitcoin) prices is just a confirmation of the incredibly strong market conditions that developed during October," said Mikkel Morch, executive director of cryptocurrency and digital asset hedge fund ARK36.
"With bitcoin exchange balances at three-year lows, while the supply of long-term holders is at an all-time high, too few bitcoins are available to meet demand."
Investors also invested $31 million in Ethereum products and funds last week. While Ethereum's market share has declined in recent months as bitcoins have grown in dominance, the recent combination of positive price performance and strong inflows has seen its assets under management reach a record $20 billion.
Digital platform Tron, which focuses on hosting entertainment apps, has seen inflows of $79 million in the past seven weeks, making it the eighth-largest virtual asset in terms of AUM.
AUM in Grayscale and CoinShares, the two largest digital asset managers, rose last week to $55.67 billion and $5.5 billion respectively.
