Crypto Investment Products Witness $54M Outflows, Bitcoin Takes the Lead
According to CoinShares' weekly report, digital asset investment products witnessed a net outflow of $54 million in the week ending May 13.
This outflow trend has persisted for four consecutive weeks, resulting in a cumulative outflow of approximately $200 million, equivalent to 0.6% of total assets under management during that period.
Bitcoin (BTC) accounted for the majority of outflows, with nearly $38 million representing 80% of the total outflows. Conversely, eight alternative coins experienced inflows, as reported by CoinShares.
Over the past week, Bitcoin recorded outflows of $37.5 million, while short-Bitcoin products experienced outflows of $10.4 million. These figures indicate that investors have primarily focused on Bitcoin, according to CoinShares.
Other assets had comparatively smaller outflows, with multi-asset investments experiencing outflows of $6.7 million and Binance’s BNB token (BNB) witnessing outflows of $500,000.
On the positive side, Ethereum (ETH) and TRON (TRX) each saw inflows of $200,000, while Cardano (ADA) recorded inflows of $500,000. Ripple’s token (XRP) saw neither outflows nor inflows. Collectively, other assets experienced inflows totaling $500,000.
In total, all categories combined resulted in outflows of $53.7 million.
CoinShares highlighted that outflows were observed across multiple regions, indicating that the underlying sentiment leading to this trend is not confined to a limited number of investors.
