Recent research conducted by the Bank of America Global Research team has revealed a significant increase in investor interest in tech stocks and cryptocurrencies. According to a report by Reuters, investors have poured $4.7 billion into tech stocks, including industry giants like Apple and Nvidia, marking the highest recorded inflow since August 2023. Simultaneously, investments in cryptocurrencies have also seen a surge, with capital inflows doubling from $1.2 billion to $2.4 billion in the past week.

The surge in investment activity is believed to be driven by “animal spirits” as investors anticipate potential Federal Reserve rate cuts by mid-year and display confidence in the resilience of the economy. This has led to a renewed interest in higher-risk assets.

The influx of funds into spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in February has contributed to Bitcoin’s monthly gain of nearly 50%, while Ethereum (ETH) experienced its largest monthly increase since mid-2022, surging 47% to nearly $3,500.

Analysts at Bitwise predict a further surge in institutional investment in Bitcoin ETFs in the coming months as major financial institutions, or “wirehouses,” begin offering ETF trades to their clients. Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan highlights the current market dynamics where demand significantly surpasses supply, especially with the volume of Bitcoin ETFs purchased compared to the daily amount of Bitcoin mined and the anticipated impact of the upcoming halving event. At present, Bitcoin is trading at $61,600, according to data from CoinGecko.

“Investors are flocking to tech stocks and cryptocurrencies in anticipation of potential Fed rate cuts and economic resilience, driving significant capital inflows into the market,” said a Bank of America Global Research team representative.
