Executive Summary

Crypto investment products registered their largest weekly outflows since February, totaling $2 billion USD. This shift reflects a decreased global risk appetite and the impact of uncertain monetary policies.

Key Highlights

  • Crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) experienced $2 billion in outflows last week, nearly 71% higher than the $1.17 billion recorded the previous week.
  • This marks the third consecutive week of outflows, extending the cumulative outflow streak to $3.2 billion.
  • CoinShares’ head of research, James Butterfill, attributes the outflows to monetary policy uncertainty and selling by crypto-native whales.
  • As a result, total assets under management (AUM) in crypto ETPs decreased to $191 billion, a 27% decline from their peak of $264 billion in October.
  • The United States accounted for 97% of the outflows, totaling $1.97 billion, while Germany was an outlier with $13.2 million in inflows, defying the global trend.

Geographic Impact

While US-based crypto ETPs bore the brunt of the outflows, the trend was reflected in many other countries. Switzerland and Sweden recorded outflows of $39.9 million and $21.3 million, respectively. Meanwhile, Hong Kong, Canada, and Australia saw combined outflows of $23.9 million.

Cryptocurrency Impact

Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH)-based ETPs were hit the hardest. Bitcoin-based ETPs saw nearly $1.4 billion in funds exiting last week, approximately 2% of their total AUM. Ether ETPs, on the other hand, saw nearly $700 million in redemptions, accounting for roughly 4% of total assets.

Investor Sentiment Shift

While single-asset ETPs experienced significant outflows, products that spread exposure across diversified crypto baskets saw inflows. According to CoinShares, multi-asset ETPs have seen $69 million in inflows over the last three weeks. This suggests investors are seeking reduced volatility and broader coverage amidst the uncertainty. Apart from multi-asset coverages, short-bitcoin funds – ETPs that bet on Bitcoin’s decline – saw $18.1 million in inflows in the same period. This indicates a slight increase in hedging activity among investors.
