Last week, the market for digital asset investment products saw large net outflows. The move effectively reversed most of this year’s inflows to date, a trend attributed to fading expectations that the US central bank—the Federal Reserve (Fed)—will deliver an early rate cut.

According to CoinShares, a cryptocurrency-focused asset manager, digital asset investment products recorded total net outflows of $454 million (about 666.7 billion won) last week. Funds exited for four consecutive days, pushing cumulative outflows to $1.3 billion—nearly offsetting the $1.5 billion in net inflows logged over two days earlier this year.

CoinShares said investor sentiment deteriorated sharply as perceptions spread that the likelihood of a policy rate cut in March has diminished following recently released macroeconomic indicators.

By region, the US led the outflows. The US market posted net outflows of $569 million, the only market to record negative fund flows.

By asset, bitcoin (BTC) was hit the hardest. Bitcoin investment products saw net outflows of $405 million last week. However, short bitcoin products—used to bet on a decline—also recorded $9.2 million in outflows, suggesting mixed views on market direction.

Ethereum (ETH) investment products also posted $116 million in net outflows, while multi-asset products saw $21 million leave. Products linked to Binance and Aave (AAVE) recorded modest outflows of $3.7 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

Meanwhile, some altcoins continued to draw inflows. XRP recorded $45.8 million, Solana (SOL) $32.8 million, and Sui (SUI) $7.6 million in net inflows, showing relatively resilient momentum.
