Digital Asset Investment Products See $147M Outflows
As reported, digital asset investment products recorded outflows of $147 million last week amid increasing investor caution in response to robust economic data.
Stronger-than-expected economic indicators have diminished hopes for significant interest rate cuts, dampening market sentiment.
Despite the cautious atmosphere, trading volumes for exchange-traded products (ETPs) edged up by 15% to $10 billion, even as broader crypto markets experienced lower activity.
Bitcoin was at the center of investor movements, experiencing outflows of $159 million.
However, products that short Bitcoin saw modest inflows of $2.8 million, indicating some hedging activity.
Ethereum followed the broader negative trend, registering $29 million in outflows as interest in the asset waned.
On the positive side, multi-asset investment products continued their winning streak, drawing $29 million in inflows, marking the 16th consecutive week of positive trends.
Since June, these products have attracted $431 million, accounting for 10% of assets under management, appealing to investors seeking diversified exposure across various digital assets.
After a rocky start, the “Uptober” narrative appears to be regaining strength, with Bitcoin stabilizing near levels seen last Monday, QCP Capital said in a recent note.
Strong Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) data and renewed interest from an upcoming HBO Bitcoin documentary have bolstered support around the $60,000 mark.
Despite last week’s volatility, options flows suggest a positive outlook for the fourth quarter, with notable interest in December BTC call spreads targeting the $75,000 and $95,000 levels, pushing the “Uptober” narrative further.
Expectations of further rate cuts and Bitcoin’s strong correlation with equities contribute to the market’s optimistic stance for a strong October performance.
