Crypto Funds Record Outflows Amid Profit Booking in Bitcoin

Crypto asset funds saw a total of $742 million of inflow in the last four weeks. The inflows brought year-to-date flows to a net positive despite nine weeks of outflows. Bitcoin recorded huge inflows amid spot Bitcoin ETF filings by BlackRock, Fidelity Investments, and other financial giants.

Investors sold Bitcoin worth $13 million and switched to Ethereum, which saw $6.6 million inflows. Also, short Bitcoin investment products recorded the 13th consecutive week of outflows totaling $5.5 million.

After Ethereum, XRP recorded the most inflows of $2.6 due to Ripple’s partial win against the US SEC. Other altcoins Solana, Uniswap, and Polygon (MATIC) saw inflows totaling $1.1 million, $0.7 million, and $0.7 million, respectively. Trading volumes decreased significantly last week.

ProShares ETFs, ETC Issuance GmbH, and Purpose Investments recorded the most outflows last week. Negative sentiment was primarily focused on the North American market, which saw 99% of outflows ($21 million). This was offset by $12 million in inflows into Switzerland and $1.9 million into Germany.
