From July 26 to August 1, crypto funds experienced their first capital outflow in 15 weeks — $223 million. Although the beginning of the week was marked by positive dynamics and an inflow of $883 million, by the end the situation had changed for the worse.
According to analysts at CoinShares, the change in trend was influenced by the meeting of the US Federal Reserve, during which it was decided to keep the interest rate at 4.25-4.5%. This caused a short-term reaction from investors, who, taking advantage of the previous growth, decided to take profits.
The biggest losses were in Bitcoin funds, with $404 million withdrawn from them. Despite this, since the beginning of the year, the net inflow into Bitcoin products remains significant and amounts to about $20 billion. Experts emphasize that Bitcoin is especially sensitive to the actions of regulators in the field of monetary policy.
Against the background of the general decline, Ethereum turned out to be in the opposite dynamics - funds based on it recorded an inflow for the fifteenth week in a row, having replenished by $134 million. In addition, products based on XRP ($31.3 million), Solana ($8.8 million) and SEI ($5.8 million) also attracted investor interest.
Despite the general outflow, a significant contribution to the inflow was shown by the Bitcoin ETF from BlackRock, which attracted $749 million in a week. Since the beginning of the current year, investments in this instrument have reached $26.6 billion, confirming the steady interest of institutional investors.
As for the regional distribution of capital, Hong Kong demonstrated the greatest positive activity, where the inflow amounted to $170.4 million. Positive dynamics were also recorded in Switzerland ($52.4 million), Canada ($12.4 million) and Australia ($7.6 million). At the same time, the United States suffered the greatest losses - investors withdrew $383 million. Next come Germany with $35.5 million, Sweden with $33.3 million and Brazil with $12.8 million.
Recall that a week earlier, cryptocurrency funds demonstrated the opposite picture: for the period from July 19 to 25, the capital inflow reached $1.9 billion. This emphasizes the volatility of investor sentiment in the face of the influence of macroeconomic factors.
