According to an April 7 report from Digital Asset Manager Coinshares, Cryptocurrency Exchange-Traded Products (ETPS) saw a new outflow last week in which investor capital attracted $240 million.
The outflow reversed a second-week inflow of a total of $870 million, bringing the total digital asset ETP holdings to approximately $133 billion, Coinshares reported.
According to James Butterfil, research head at Coinshares, the new outflow likely reflects investors’ attention in response to concerns over global trade tariffs imposed by the US and potential threats to global economic growth.
