The crypto investment landscape has experienced a notable shift recently, as digital asset investment products saw their first net outflows in 11 weeks. This development was predominantly led by Bitcoin, which had previously enjoyed a consistent inflow into various crypto funds. In a recent report by CoinShares, a leading digital asset management firm, last week marked a break in an 11-week streak of inflows, with a net outflow of $16 million. This change signals a potential reevaluation among investors regarding their positions in digital assets.

Last week, these funds experienced a net outflow of $32.8 million, while short Bitcoin investment products also saw a minor outflow of $300,000. Despite this, trading activity for Bitcoin remained robust, grossing $3.6 billion last week, substantially higher than the $1.6 billion yearly average. James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares, analyzed the outflows and suggested that the net flows were primarily driven by the US and German markets, which saw outflows of $18.3 million and $9.7 million, respectively. In contrast, markets such as Switzerland and Canada saw inflows, indicating a mixed regional response that leans more towards profit-taking rather than a wholesale sentiment shift in the asset class, according to Butterfill. Altcoins Gain Traction As Blockchain Equities Surge Interestingly, while Bitcoin and other major assets like Ethereum and Avalanche experienced outflows, altcoins such as Solana, Cardano, and XRP bucked the trend. They mainly registered inflows of $10.6 million, $3 million, and $2.7 million, respectively. These movements underscore the diversification within the crypto asset class and highlight investor interest in a broader range of digital currencies beyond the dominant Bitcoin and Ethereum. Blockchain equities also reflected a favourable sentiment, with inflows amounting to $122 million last week. This marks the continuation of a nine-week streak, accumulating $294 million in total \u2014 the largest streak to date. This uptick in blockchain equities underscores the growing investor confidence in the technological infrastructure underpinning cryptocurrencies.

Avalanche led the pack with an increase of over 10% in the past week, followed by Solana and Cardano with gains of 3.1% and 3.6%, respectively.
