As an experienced analyst in the digital asset investment space, I have seen my fair share of market fluctuations. The latest weekly outflows from digital asset investment products are a cause for concern, with $435 million leaving the market last week alone – the highest outflow since March.


Digital asset investment products experienced outflows for the third consecutive week, with last week’s withdrawal amounting to $435 million – the largest such exit since March.

Based on the most recent data from CoinShares, trading activity in Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs) decreased significantly to $11.8 billion during the past week, down from $18 billion in the previous week. This decline coincided with a 6% drop in Bitcoin prices.

Bitcoin and Ethereum Lead Digital Asset Outflows

As a crypto investor following the market trends closely, I’ve noticed that the recent CoinShares Digital Asset Fund Flows report indicated significant outflows. Interestingly enough, these outflows were solely focused on the leading cryptocurrencies – Bitcoin and Ethereum – with an impressive $423 million withdrawn from Bitcoin and a more modest $38 million from Ethereum.

In the same timeframe, there was an inflow of approximately $1.3 million into Bitcoin investment products. This indicates a rising curiosity among investors and traders to protect against potential losses or capitalize on Bitcoin’s price declines, as it hovers around $62,000.

Contrary to the prevailing pessimistic sentiment towards cryptocurrencies, certain alternative coins bucked the trend and attracted investor interest. Notably, the asset manager observed a surge in demand for diversified investment options, leading to approximately $7 million in inflows.

Over the past week, other favored picks such as Solana, Litecoin, and Chainlink drew in approximately $4 million, $3 million, and $2.8 million in investments respectively. Polkadot accumulated around $0.5 million in inflows, while XRP and Cardano-related investment products reportedly attracted about $0.4 million each.

Switzerland and Brazil Defy Negative Trend

In previous occasions, the United States received the largest portion of outflows, amounting to $388 million. However, it’s worth mentioning that US investments have accumulated an impressive $13.6 billion in inflows so far this year. It’s also noteworthy that Grayscale accounted for the most significant share of outflows during this period, with a total of $440 million – marking the smallest outflow amount in the past nine weeks.

As a crypto investor, I’ve noticed that while Grayscale’s withdrawals have started to taper off, CoinShares reported a significant decrease in inflows from new investors last week, with only $126 million compared to the previous week’s $254 million. The sentiment towards Germany and Canada was particularly negative, resulting in outflows of $16 million and $32 million respectively. Sweden also saw an outflow of $8.1 million for the week.

As a crypto investor, I’ve noticed some interesting trends in recent inflows. Contrary to popular belief, Switzerland and Brazil attracted substantial investments of $5 million and $4 million, respectively. In comparison, Australia saw more modest inflows amounting to $0.5 million during the same timeframe.
