Overall, crypto investment products saw a fourth consecutive week of outflows as the total of $44 million left digital asset investment products. Since the second week of May, the negative crypto market sentiment resulted in net weekly outflows worth $313 million, nearly 0.8% of the total digital assets under management. In contrast to the latest jump in Ethereum outflows, Bitcoin saw minor outflows worth $1.3 million.
“Multi-digital asset investment products continued to buck the negative trend with inflows of US$6m last week, suggesting that investors continue to favor digital assets but are keen to diversify. This week most of the negative sentiment was focussed on Ethereum where net outflows totaled US$50m, the largest on record. These outflows represent 5% of the US$943 inflows year-to-date,” CoinShares mentioned in the report.
