Digital asset investment products experienced $352m in outflows last week, with Ethereum seeing significant withdrawals, while Bitcoin and Solana maintained positive inflow trends.
Market Overview
Digital asset investment products faced notable challenges last week, as reported by CoinShares. The sector witnessed outflows totaling $352 million, despite anticipations of a market boost from weak payroll figures and potential interest rate cuts in the U.S. Trading volumes also experienced a 27% decline, signaling a temporary cooling in investor appetite. However, year-to-date (YTD) inflows remain robust at $35.2 billion, outpacing last year's figures by 4.2% on an annualized basis.
Regional Sentiment
Investor sentiment displayed regional variances, with the United States experiencing outflows of $440 million. Conversely, Germany and Hong Kong recorded inflows of $85.1 million and $8.1 million, respectively, indicating a mixed global outlook on digital asset investments.
Bitcoin and Ethereum Trends
Bitcoin (BTC) achieved net inflows of $524 million, maintaining its position as a favored digital asset despite broader market hesitancy. In contrast, Ethereum (ETH) was the primary driver behind the week's outflows, with $912 million withdrawn. Ethereum's decline was consistent, with outflows occurring daily over the past week across various exchange-traded product (ETP) issuers. Despite this downturn, Ethereum's YTD inflows remain substantial at $11.2 billion.
Solana and XRP Performance
Solana (SOL) and XRP have continued to attract investor interest, with Solana marking its 21st consecutive week of inflows, totaling $1.16 billion YTD. XRP also reported strong performance with $1.22 billion in inflows over the same period, highlighting their resilience in a fluctuating market.
