Early in the week, optimism drove nearly $1 billion into digital asset investment products, but this reversed mid-week when new macroeconomic data and minutes from the US Federal Reserve’s latest meeting showed a stronger economy and a more hawkish Central Bank, which yielded outflows of $940 million in the latter half of the week.
Bitcoin, despite seeing significant outflows into the latter stages of the week, still managed to capture 214 million dollars in inflows and retains the best-performing digital asset with a year-to-date inflow of 799 million dollars.
Ethereum, on the other hand, saw a heavy outflow of 256 million dollars, which analysts say is probably more part of the broad sell-off of technology stocks than particular concerns about the asset itself.
XRP Sees Large Inflows, and Altcoins Remain Resilient
Solana bucked the broader trend and saw inflows of $15 million. XRP, on the other hand, was at $41 million. For the latter, political and legal events have been the key drivers for growth. Investors are now becoming optimistic, and they are heading into an appeal by the SEC on 15th January.
Despite the generally weak performance of the broader altcoin market, some assets such as Aave, Stellar, and Polkadot managed to record inflows of $2.9 million, $2.7 million, and $1.6 million, respectively. It would appear that investor interest in some altcoins remains unabated.
