Crypto Market Sees $305 Million in Outflows Amidst Negative Sentiment
Last week, the digital asset investment market experienced outflows totaling $305 million as negative sentiment prevailed across different regions and providers. CoinShares attributes this trend to the release of strong economic data from the United States, leading to a reduced likelihood of a 50-basis point interest rate cut. As the Federal Reserve nears a potential policy shift, the asset management firm anticipates that interest rate expectations will increasingly influence the performance of the asset class.
Bitcoin and Ethereum Flows
Bitcoin faced the brunt of the negative sentiment, witnessing outflows of $319 million in the past week. Conversely, short Bitcoin investment products attracted inflows of $4.4 million for the second consecutive week, marking the highest weekly inflow since March. Ethereum saw outflows amounting to $5.7 million, while trading volumes remained stagnant at just 15% of the levels seen during the launch of US ETFs. This indicated levels similar to those seen before the ETF launches. On the other hand, Solana saw inflows of $7.6 million.
- Bitcoin outflows: $319 million
