Crypto Investment Products Experience $206M Outflow Amid Rate Hike Concerns

Market Response to Fed Policies

Global crypto investment products have experienced a significant $206 million withdrawal, attributed to apprehension over the Fed's continued interest rate policies. Coinshares highlights that this marks the second week of net outflows, with high interest rates expected to persist.

Trading Volumes Decline

There's been a noticeable dip in exchange-traded products' trading volumes, capturing only 28% of Bitcoin's total trading activity. Despite a broader negative trend, BlackRock's IBIT has managed to attract consistent inflows.

Regional Differences and Market Overview

In contrast to the U.S. funds' outflows, Canadian and Swiss funds enjoyed influxes. While the overall crypto market saw slight gains, the backdrop of Bitcoin's fourth halving and the resulting impact on mining operations is causing unease among investors.
