Repost from CoinShares Blog : “Volume 162: Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report” The full report and all related findings are available on the official website of CoinShares Blog.

Minor outflows of US$16m, more profit-taking than a swing in sentiment

  • Digital asset investment products saw minor outflows totalling US$16m, ending an 11-week run of inflows. Trading activity remained well above the year average though, totalling US$3.6bn for the week.
  • The mixed regional flows suggest this was more related to profit-taking rather than a turn in sentiment towards the asset class.
  • Altcoins bucked the trend, seeing US$21m of inflows. The main beneficiaries being Solana, Cardano, XRP and Chainlink.

Digital asset investment products saw minor outflows totalling US$16m, ending an 11-week run of inflows. Trading activity remained well above the year average though, totalling US$3.6bn for the week, compared to the year-to-date average of US$1.6bn.

Regionally, the outflows were primarily focussed on the US which saw US$18m, while Germany saw minor outflows totalling US$10m. This was partially offset by continued inflows into Canada and Switzerland totalling US$6.9m and US$9.1m respectively. The mixed regional flows suggest this was more related to profit-taking rather than a turn in sentiment towards the asset class.

Bitcoin suffered the most, seeing US$33m of outflows last week, while short-bitcoin also saw minor outflows totalling US$0.3m.

Altcoins bucked the trend, seeing US$21m of inflows. The main beneficiaries being Solana, Cardano, XRP and Chainlink, totalling US$10.6m, US$3m, US$2.7m and US$2m respectively.

Ethereum and Avalanche suffered a little, seeing US$4.4m and US$1m respectively.

Blockchain equities continued to experience positive sentiment, seeing substantial inflows totalling US$122m last week, bringing the last 9 week run to US$294m, the largest run on record.
