Ethereum-powered AirSwap (AST) surges as ETH ETFs attract billions in new inflows

Spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are making waves in the cryptocurrency world, drawing billions in new investments and reigniting interest in related projects.

Among the beneficiaries of this surge is AirSwap (AST), a decentralized peer-to-peer (P2P) trading platform built on the Ethereum blockchain.

Recently, AirSwap has experienced significant price movements and heightened investor interest, reflecting broader trends within the ETH ecosystem.

Ethereum ETFs draw record inflows

According to CoinShares’ latest report, Ethereum ETFs have attracted approximately $2.2 billion over the past week, marking the highest seven-day inflow figure since December 2020. 

This substantial influx of capital has invigorated the Ethereum market, despite some setbacks from major players like Grayscale, which reported significant outflows. 

Nonetheless, the impressive performance of Ethereum ETFs has spurred a notable increase in trading volumes, which surged by over 540% in recent sessions.

Soaring trading volumes

The launch of Ethereum ETFs has driven trading volumes to unprecedented levels not seen since May, reaching $14.8 billion in the previous week. 

While Bitcoin has maintained its dominance, analysts attribute a significant portion of this trading activity to the impact of Ethereum ETFs. 

This surge in volume has likely had a spillover effect on related projects, including AirSwap, which has seen a dramatic increase in investor activity.

In the past 24 hours, AST’s daily trading volume surged by 145%, exceeding $1.3 million. 

This spike highlights growing investor interest and confidence in the platform.

Exchange-traded funds, a recovering economy, and the US election narratives suggest a friendly environment for digital assets to flourish in the coming months.

The blockchain’s uniqueness, including free charges and respect for user information, positions AST as one of the candidates for the upcoming bull run.
