Institutional Investors Flip 5-Week Outflows, Is A Major Bitcoin Uptick on The Horizon?
The crypto market recorded slight gains after weeks of sideways readings. Institutional numbers headlined the rebound in Bitcoin (BTC) and many altcoins despite creeping sentiments. Overall, a massive $644 million net inflow flipped consecutive five-week exits. The total market cap rose 1% to $2.8 trillion, with trading volumes marking sharp double-digit gains.
Bitcoin Bulls Scoop $724 Million In Assets
CoinShares Digital Asset Weekly Flow shows institutional investors poured $724 million in Bitcoin funds. This comes after five straight weeks of outflows due to wider bearish sentiments. As a result, total monthly numbers remain over $1 billion in the red zone, while year-to-date net inflows stand at $1.3 billion.
Bitcoin remains the center for most wealth managers after reclaiming its $87k price setting the pace for new inflows. Previous outflows had topped $5.4 billion amid a heated macro market. The White House tariff policies as well as global trade issues weakened trader sentiments. This also led to slow growth in spot Bitcoin ETFs, a major driver for the leading digital asset.
“Notably, every day last week recorded inflows, following a 17-day consecutive run of outflows signaling a decisive shift in sentiment toward the asset class. The majority of flows originated from the US, which saw US$632m in inflows. However, the positive sentiment was broad-based, with Switzerland, Germany, and Hong Kong also recording inflows of US$15.9m, US$13.9m, and US$1.2m, respectively.”
While total net inflows hit $644 million, assets under management (AUM) spiked 6% from its March 10 yearly low. For most analysts, this upward trend can fuel a major leap in terms of institutional capital in the market. Last year, institutional demand in crypto-dominated financial markets as traditional players grew more confident.
Altcoin Holders Show Mixed Sentiments
On the altcoin front, several assets posted gains after weeks in the doldrums while others continued in the red wave. XRP led gains with $6.7 million, with bulls showing slight signs of hope despite heavy losses. This month, the asset marked $548 million worth of outflows and $344 million net outflows since the start of the year.
Solana and Cardano followed with $6.4 and $0.1 million inflows, respectively. Meanwhile, the leading altcoin, Ethereum, recorded $86 million outflows, stretching monthly exits over $350 million. This year, ETH’s price has taken a major hit amid the impact of macro markets.
