Investors Pull $305 Million from Crypto Market
A recent report from CoinShares revealed that digital asset investment products faced significant outflows last week, totaling $305 million.
Strong Economic Data Impacts Cryptocurrency Market
The negative sentiment sweeping across the cryptocurrency market can be attributed to stronger-than-expected economic data from the United States. This data has diminished the possibility of a 50-basis point interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve.
Bitcoin Products Experience $319M in Outflows

- Short Bitcoin investment products, which profit from Bitcoin price declines, recorded inflows of $4.4 million for the second consecutive week.
- Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, saw outflows of $5.7 million with stagnant trading volumes.
Solana and Blockchain Stocks Outshine
Despite the negative trend, Solana attracted $7.6 million in inflows while blockchain equities, especially those linked to Bitcoin mining, saw $11 million in inflows.
Bitcoin Drops 10% for the Week
- Bitcoin closed the week at around $57,300, marking a 10.8% decrease from the previous week.
- Price fluctuations throughout the week included major drops on Tuesday and Sunday.
- Net outflows of about $277 million were seen from Bitcoin spot ETFs.
- Ethereum closed the week at approximately $2,425, down 11.7% from the previous week, with moderate outflows of $12.6 million from Ethereum spot ETFs.
Positive Outlook for Ethereum
Despite the challenges, new products in the Ethereum space saw net inflows, hinting at a possible reversal of the heavy outflows trend in the near future.
