CoinShares: Global crypto ETP sees four consecutive weeks of outflows, Bitcoin and Ethereum under pressure

According to The Block, CoinShares' latest report shows that global crypto asset ETPs have experienced net outflows for the fourth consecutive week, with approximately $173 million flowing out last week. Over the past four weeks, total outflows have reached $3.74 billion, indicating that the trend of capital withdrawal from the market continues.

The report notes that although the weekly outflow has slowed from a peak of about $1.7 billion at the beginning of the month, the overall selling pressure has not reversed. James Butterfill stated that the current data reflects that crypto fund capital has been undergoing a withdrawal cycle for a continuous month. In terms of trading activity, ETP trading volume has significantly cooled, dropping from a record $63 billion the previous week to $27 billion, indicating that speculative trading enthusiasm has declined in tandem with capital outflows.

In terms of capital flow, approximately $575 million was recorded as inflow at the beginning of last week, but this was followed by about $853 million in outflows, primarily influenced by weakening prices. On Friday, boosted by weaker-than-expected CPI data, there was a brief inflow of about $105 million. There is a clear regional divergence. The U.S. market recorded approximately $403 million in outflows last week, while other regions collectively saw about $230 million in inflows, with Germany leading at approximately $115 million, followed by Canada at about $46.3 million and Switzerland at about $36.8 million, indicating that capital demand is shifting towards overseas markets.

In terms of asset classes, Bitcoin-related investment products saw the largest outflows last week, totaling about $133 million; short Bitcoin products also experienced outflows of about $15.4 million over the past two weeks, a phenomenon that CoinShares notes typically occurs when the market approaches a cyclical low. Ethereum funds recorded outflows of about $85.1 million, while some altcoins still attracted inflows, with XRP seeing inflows of about $33.4 million, Solana about $31 million, and Chainlink about $1.1 million.

In terms of prices, Bitcoin fell nearly 2% over the past week, remaining below the $70,000 mark; Ethereum, after two weeks of significant outflows, is still below the $2,000 level, and overall market sentiment remains cautious.
