Digital asset investment products saw $230 million in inflows last week, a notable slowdown from recent trends. Bitcoin products attracted $219 million, while Solana extended its inflow streak to seven weeks. Ethereum products, however, experienced $27.5 million in outflows, ending a three-week positive run. The market reacted to geopolitical tensions and a hawkish signal from the U.S. Federal Reserve.
Investment products for digital assets recorded $230 million in net inflows last week, marking a deceleration. According to a weekly report, this reaction was dominated by the U.S. Federal Reserve’s “hawkish pause” signal, despite concerns around the Iran conflict.
Early week momentum was strong, with $635 million entering in the first two days. A sharp reversal followed the Fed announcement, resulting in $405 million in withdrawals before conditions stabilized by Friday.
Activity was led by Bitcoin, which attracted $219 million. Products betting against BTC still drew $6 million, demonstrating what the report called “ongoing polarised views for the asset.”
Solana maintained momentum with $17 million in inflows, extending its streak to seven consecutive weeks. Chainlink and Hyperliquid registered $4.6 million and $4.5 million, respectively, while XRP added $2.9 million.
Ethereum products saw $27.5 million in capital outflow, ending three weeks of consistent investor interest. All geographic regions reported positive activity, led by the United States with $153 million in inflows.
Bitcoin’s price climbed above $71,400 as markets reacted to signs of potential geopolitical de-escalation. Experts at Bitunix stated volatility will continue to be dictated by external macro factors, with one analyst noting, “Its volatility will continue to be dictated by external macro transmission channels rather than endogenous trend formation.”
