A leading digital assets manager says institutional profit-taking lead to heavy outflows in crypto investment products over the last week.
In the latest Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly report, CoinShares suggests last week’s heavy outflows of $134 million is a result of the previous week’s market value appreciation.
“Digital asset investment products saw outflows totaling US$134m last week, marking the second-largest weekly outflow this year. The outflows were broad-based across providers in both Europe (39%) and the Americas (61%)…
We believe price appreciation the previous week may have prompted investors to take profits last week.”
