Investors Pull $414M From Crypto Funds As Inflation, MidEast War Jitters Mount
Investors withdrew $414 million from crypto funds last week, ending a five-week inflow streak. Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $296 million in outflows, reversing earlier gains. Ether suffered the largest outflows at $222 million, pushing its year-to-date performance negative. Bitcoin remained positive for the year despite $194 million in outflows. XRP was an exception, attracting $16 million. The sell-off was driven by inflation concerns, shifting expectations for U.S. interest rate hikes, and rising Middle East tensions, causing a broad shift away from riskier assets. Total assets under management fell to near $130 billion, levels last seen in early February.
