Crypto Fund Outflows Hit $240M, but Blockchain Equities Draw Fresh Inflows

Digital asset investment products experienced $240 million in outflows last week, primarily driven by concerns over global economic headwinds. However, blockchain equities attracted $8 million in inflows as investors capitalized on recent price dips.

Global digital asset investment products sustained outflows of $240 million in the week to July 14, as new U.S. trade tariffs sparked concerns over global economic headwinds, according to Coinshares data released on Monday.

The outflows were largely concentrated in bitcoin products, which faced outflows of $207 million. The downturn in crypto prices amid macroeconomic worries drove the move, with traders taking a step back from the world’s largest cryptocurrency.

However, blockchain equities attracted inflows of $8 million for the second straight week, suggesting that some investors are viewing the broader market dip as a long-term opportunity.

The U.S. led the outflows with $210 million, followed by Germany with $17.7 million. On the other hand, Canada saw inflows of $4.8 million as Canadian investors appeared to be allocating more to digital assets amid the market volatility.

Among individual coins, ethereum saw outflows of $37.7 million, while solana and sui lost $1.8 million and $4.7 million, respectively. Toncoin, however, recorded inflows of $1.1 million, indicating some interest in altcoins.

The outflows come amid a broader market downturn, with traditional equities also experiencing steep losses. Despite the outflows, AUM in the digital asset sector rose slightly to $132.6 billion, showcasing relative resilience compared to traditional equities.

The persistent outflows from bitcoin products are noteworthy given the cryptocurrency’s recent price performance. Bitcoin has shown strength in recent months, suggesting that some investors are incrementally allocating to the asset class despite the broader market volatility.

The inflows into blockchain equities are also significant as they highlight a broader shift in investment strategy. With equities markets battered by inflation and rising interest rates, some investors appear to be seeking out new opportunities in the blockchain sector.

Overall, the investment trends suggest that while traders are taking a pause on crypto, there is still some appetite for digital assets among investors who are looking for avenues to diversify their portfolios amid market turbulence.
