Crypto asset investment products continued to see outflows for the fourth consecutive week, totaling $251 million. This week marked the first instance of measurable outflows from newly issued ETFs in the US, with last week seeing an outflow of $156 million. It is noted that since the launch of these ETFs, the average purchase price has been $62,200 per Bitcoin. The BTC price dropped below 10% of this level last week, which may have triggered automatic sell orders.
What is the Situation by Country?
Regionally, the US plays a leading role in outflows, with $504 million recorded. On the other hand, Canada, Switzerland, and Germany also saw outflows of $9.6 million, $9.8 million, and $7.3 million, respectively.
Last week’s highlight was the successful launch of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in Hong Kong, which saw an inflow of $307 million in the first week of trading.
