Bitcoin (BTC) registered a third consecutive week of outflows, reaching $6 million in the past week. Short Bitcoin positions saw outflows of $2.8 million. Ether (ETH) registered its sixth consecutive week of outflows, with $2.2 million exiting over the past week.

On the other hand, altcoins such as XRP (XRP) and Solana (SOL) have seen inflows of $0.66 million and $0.31 million respectively. The report stated that investors are getting more interested in the altcoin space, with continued inflows into XRP and SOL.

The report revealed a divergence in sentiment among traders in Europe and the United States based on regional activities. European crypto investment products had $16 million in inflows, but U.S.-based products saw $14 million in outflows.

The regional divergence was attributed to the uncertainty around the crypto regulations and recent actions of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against crypto companies.

The report revealed weekly trading volumes dropped below $820 million — well below the average of $1.16 billion in 2023.

The recent digital asset flow market report from CoinShares reflects the current market sentiment with bearish pressure on the market. The Bitcoin price is currently stuck under $27,000 key resistance and has remained mostly idle since the FOMC meeting, when the Fed decided to not raise the interest rates for the quarter. Meanwhile, the Mt. Gox creditors pay out delay also played a crucial role in the price action last week, but BTC remained mostly unfazed by both the key market events.
