קרנות קריפטו חוות יציאת הון של מיליארד דולר, כתוצאה מהתחדשות המתחים עם איראן והחזרה של תחושת הסיכון

[라온]

Cryptocurrency investment products posted heavy outflows last week as investors reduced risk amid inflation fears and uncertainty over a lasting ceasefire between the United States and Iran.

According to CoinShares’ latest weekly report, digital asset exchange-traded products (ETPs) recorded $1.07 billion in net outflows, ending a six-week streak of inflows. It marked the third-largest weekly outflow this year.

Bitcoin (BTC) investment products accounted for the bulk of the withdrawals, with $982 million in outflows. Ether (ETH) products lost $249 million, their largest outflow since the week ending Jan. 30.

Altcoin funds bucked the broader trend. XRP (XRP) investment products drew in $67.5 million, while Solana (SOL) funds added inflows of $55.1 million.

Most of the outflows originated in the United States, where investors pulled net $1.14 billion from funds. In contrast, several European markets, including Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands, posted modest inflows.

The pullback in crypto funds coincided with a broader retreat in risk assets, with the S&P 500 index falling from all-time highs late last week. Investors remained focused on disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route for global oil supplies, which have pushed energy prices higher and contributed to a renewed rise in US inflation to its highest level in more than three years.

CLARITY Act remains a source of hope for crypto industry

CoinShares head of research James Butterfill said select altcoins benefited from improving regulatory sentiment in the United States following progress on the CLARITY Act.

The legislation, which would establish a clearer framework for regulating digital assets in the US, advanced out of the Senate Banking Committee last week with bipartisan support.

Industry advocates say the bill could reduce regulatory uncertainty and provide a more predictable legal environment, encouraging crypto companies and investment to remain in the US.

Crypto Council for Innovation CEO Ji Hun Kim said “the momentum and progress are both strong” as the legislation moves through Congress.

However, several Senate Democrats have pushed for stronger ethics provisions, particularly concerning elected officials’ financial ties to the crypto industry.

Republican Senator Thom Tillis said “more work remains in the weeks ahead to make this legislation even better.”
