Bitcoin investors are feeling pessimistic as a whopping $630 million has flowed out of digital asset investment products. This marks the second consecutive week of outflows, totaling $1.2 billion, with $584 million leaving in just one week. Experts believe that this negative trend may be due to concerns about potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.
While Bitcoin took the biggest hit with the $630 million outflows, other cryptocurrencies also experienced some turbulence. Ethereum, despite increased investor interest, saw $58 million flowing out in the past week. Surprisingly, some altcoins like Solana, Litecoin, and Polygon saw inflows of $2.7 million, $1.3 million, and $1 million respectively. XRP and Chainlink-based investment products also had minor inflows of $0.7 million and $0.3 million.
Despite the overall market weakness, some investors viewed this as an opportunity to buy altcoins at lower prices. This is evident from the $98 million that flowed into multi-asset products during the same period. It seems that some market participants are using the downturn to diversify their crypto holdings.
On the global front, trading activity in crypto ETPs hit a low point last week, with volumes reaching only $6.9 billion. The US led the outflows with $475 million, followed by Canada with $109 million. Germany, Hong Kong, and Sweden also experienced outflows. However, Switzerland and Brazil stood out by recording inflows of $39 million and $48.5 million respectively.
This data suggests that the cryptocurrency market is currently facing some challenges, but there are still opportunities for investors to navigate the volatility and make strategic decisions. As the market continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how investors adapt to the changing landscape and where the next trends will lead.
