August 29, 2023 - Around 2 mins mins to read

Key Points:

  • Bitcoin investment products accounted for the majority of the outflows, with a net outflow of $149 million.
  • The negative sentiment may be due to delays in the approval process for a spot-based Bitcoin ETF in the US.

Digital Asset Investment Products See Biggest Net Outflow Since March 2023

This represents the largest outflow since the US regulatory crackdown on exchanges in March 2023. The outflows were not limited to a specific geographical area, indicating a broad-based negative sentiment among investors.

Bitcoin investment products accounted for the majority of the outflows, with a total net outflow of $149 million. On the other hand, Ethereum investment products saw a total outflow of $16.8 million.

The report suggests that the negative sentiment may be a result of investors realizing that the launch of a spot-based Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the US may take longer than anticipated. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently announced delays in the approval process for Bitcoin ETFs.

In terms of geographical breakdown, Germany and Canada saw the most significant outflows, with $68 million and $61 million respectively.

The only altcoin to see notable outflows was Ethereum, with a total of $17 million. XRP and Litecoin, on the other hand, saw minor inflows of $0.5 million and $0.44 million respectively.

While Bitcoin has experienced consistent outflows in recent weeks, the overall flows for the year remain positive at $265 million. Investors have been selling their short positions, with $4 million in outflows last week. This trend has persisted for the past 18 weeks, accounting for 89% of total assets under management (AuM).
