- Crypto ETPs by Grayscale Investments and Fidelity Digital Assets witnessed the most significant outflows, estimated at $170 million and $166 million, respectively.
- The biggest crypto asset by market capitalization, Bitcoin ETPs again went through the most significant loss, and at the same time, XRP investment products witnessed another week of major inflows.
- In the region, most of the crypto ETP trading again came from the United States, which witnessed $560 million in outflows.
Crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) listed a notable outflow last week, carrying on a trend of investor pullback, as per the virtual asset investment company CoinShares. Crypto ETPs listed an outflow of $508 million in the last trading week, after $415 million in outflows the last week, as per the February 24 report of CoinShares.
The jump in selling pressure of the crypto ETP sector came as investors performed care after the US presidential inauguration and succeeding market volatility around trade tariffs, inflation, and monetary policy, the research head of Coinshares, James Butterfill, asserted.
He further went on to attribute the outflows to macroeconomic concerns, particularly US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks encouraging patience on rate cuts, accompanying the higher-than-anticipated US inflation data.
