Digital asset investment products saw about $454 million in net outflows over the week, part of a four‑day $1.3 billion withdrawal streak that has almost wiped out the roughly $1.5 billion of inflows recorded in the first days of the year. According to CoinShares flow data cited in industry reports, the reversal is being linked primarily to shifting macro expectations, as recent U.S. economic data has reduced the perceived likelihood of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in March, dampening risk appetite for crypto-linked funds. Regionally, the United States accounted for the bulk of the negative flows, with around $569 million in outflows, while Europe and Canada saw modest inflows, led by Germany, Canada, and Switzerland. By asset, Bitcoin-focused products bore most of the selling pressure with about $405 million in weekly outflows, and Ethereum products also saw significant redemptions of roughly $116 million, whereas some altcoin-linked products such as XRP, Solana, and Sui continued to attract net inflows. The episode underscores how rapidly institutional and ETP/ETF-style flows into digital assets can swing in response to changes in interest-rate expectations and broader macro signals, even as demand persists for selected non‑Bitcoin assets.
