The Possible Factors Driving This Development Include Market Volatility and Wider Geopolitical Concerns

The substantial outflows from Ethereum and Bitcoin ETFs, as shown in Spot On Chain data, highlight an increasing cautiousness among crypto investors. The likely factors influencing this scenario include the recent volatility in the crypto market and the wider geopolitical concerns. This suggests that the market may experience more pressure specifically if investor confidence declines further.
