Cryptocurrency Funds Experience Continued Outflows, Losing $54 Million in a Week

In another weekly review, CoinShares reported that $54 million in assets were withdrawn from cryptocurrency investment products for institutional investors between May 8 and 12.

Note that this is the fourth week in a row that cryptocurrency funds have fallen in capitalization. Indicators are roughly the same as in previous weeks.

About $200 million was withdrawn in those four weeks, representing 0.6% of the total capitalization of digital asset trusts.

At the same time, the figure has fallen by 13% from its April peaks.

The most unsuccessful week was for bitcoin – $37.5 million was withdrawn from the funds on this cryptocurrency, which is about 80% of the capital outflow.

And if you add to this number another $10.4 million withdrawn from bitcoin shorting products, it turns out that $48 million of $54 million was lost by BTC funds.

Another $6.7 million withdrawn from multicurrency trusts. The funds lost a little – $0.5 million – on the BNB. Other assets recorded inflows, but very small ones.

Interestingly, the leader in withdrawal of cryptocurrencies from funds was Germany. Investors from that country withdrew $30.5 million at once.

Users of U.S. investment products withdrew $12.4 million. Recall that the record capital outflow was recorded in March of this year – in just one week investors took out $255 million.
