Digital asset investment products saw $812 million in outflows last week due to shifting U.S. monetary policy expectations. Despite the pullback, year-to-date inflows are significant at $39.6 billion, with monthly inflows totaling $4 billion, indicating strong overall demand for digital assets.
The U.S. recorded $1 billion in outflows, while Switzerland, Canada, and Germany saw positive sentiment, with Switzerland leading in inflows at $126.8 million. This global divergence suggests ongoing demand for digital assets despite U.S. macroeconomic uncertainty dampening institutional flows.
Bitcoin lost $719 million in outflows, but demand for short-bitcoin products remains low, indicating temporary bearish sentiment. Ethereum also faced outflows of $409 million, slowing its YTD inflows to $12 billion, with September only contributing $86.2 million.
Solana attracted $291 million in inflows, while XRP saw $93.1 million. Growing anticipation of U.S. ETF launches is driving positive momentum, expanding investor access to alternative digital assets beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Solana’s inflows reflect confidence in its scalability, while XRP’s demand hints at renewed institutional interest ahead of potential U.S. regulatory clarity. Overall, market sentiment for digital assets has softened as expectations around monetary easing shift.
