\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFour consecutive weeks of crypto fund outflows hit $3.74 billion, but altcoins outperform as US investors retreat from the market.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
Investment products linked to digital assets experienced their fourth consecutive week of outflows, recording $173 million and pushing cumulative losses over four weeks to $3.74 billion. Early in the week, inflows reached $575 million amidst brief optimism, but continued price weakness, which ended up triggering $853 million in outflows soon after.<\/p>\n
Sentiment stabilized slightly on Friday following softer CPI data, as these investment vehicles witnessed $105 million of inflows. Trading activity also cooled significantly, and ETP volumes fell to $27 billion, less than half of the record $63 billion seen the week before.<\/p>\n
In the latest edition of the \u201cDigital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report,\u201d CoinShares revealed<\/a> Bitcoin continued to lag in terms of sentiment after seeing $133 million pulled from investment products tied to the asset. Short Bitcoin products also moved lower as combined losses reached $15.4 million over the past two weeks, a pattern frequently observed near cyclical lows, according to the asset manager.<\/p>\n Ethereum followed a similar path after seeing $85.1 million withdrawn, while Hyperliquid recorded $1 million in losses. Multi-asset strategies declined as well, with $14 million leaving the category. On the other hand, appetite remained strong for altcoin-focused investment products such as XRP, Solana, and Chainlink, which attracted $33.4 million, $31 million, and $1.1 million, respectively. Litecoin also gained a modest $0.4 million.<\/p>\n Regional sentiment showed a clear divide between the US and international markets. While the US experienced $403 million in outflows, other regions collectively saw $230 million in new capital. Germany led with $115 million, followed by Canada with $46.3 million and Switzerland with $36.8 million. Brazil added $14 million, Australia nearly $10 million, and Sweden $2.8 million during the same period.<\/p>\n Bitcoin has shed almost 50% since its all-time high last October,\u00a0prompting market analysts to\u00a0predict<\/a> the price could drop to\u00a0<\/span>as low as $50,000 before any meaningful recovery. Meanwhile, Hedy Wang, fintech veteran and founder of BlockStreet, believes that the current turbulence is a feature of a maturing market rather than a fundamental collapse. In a statement to CryptoPotato<\/em>, Wang said,<\/p>\n \u201cUnlike earlier speculative bubbles, the current Web3 ecosystem is supported by a more resilient and collaborative community ethos focused on long-term building. Therefore, an analytical view suggests the market is undergoing a natural, albeit volatile, evolutionary phase, with data pointing towards a repeating historical pattern rather than an unprecedented crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nPredictable Correction?<\/h2>\n
