Validated Individual Expert
  • Digital asset investment products saw outflows totalling US$30m last week, ending a 6 week run of inflows.
  • The outflows began the prior Friday (14th April) when Bitcoin reached the very psychological level of US$30,000, suggesting the most recent sell-off was a result of profit-taking, particularly in the absence of any macro-economic triggers.
  • Ethereum saw inflows totalling US$17m last week, suggesting there is increasing confidence amongst investors following the implementation of the Shapella.

Digital asset investment products saw outflows totalling US$30m last week, ending a 6 week run of inflows. The outflows began the prior Friday (14th April) when Bitcoin reached the very psychological level of US$30,000, suggesting the most recent sell-off was a result of profit-taking, particularly in the absence of any macro-economic triggers.

Regionally, the profit-taking was almost solely from North America, which saw outflows totalling US$54m. This was offset by the continued optimistic sentiment in Germany which saw inflows totalling US$29m.

The profit-taking was focussed on Bitcoin, which in the prior 4 weeks had seen a run of inflows totalling US$310m, but last week saw outflows totalling US$53m. Very minor inflows were seen in short-Bitcoin of US$1.5m.

Finally, some good news for Ethereum, which saw inflows totalling US$17m last week. These inflows suggest there is increasing confidence amongst investors following the successful implementation of the Shapella upgrade. Interestingly, the inflows were solely from Europe.

Polygon saw another week of inflows totalling US$1m with its total assets under management (AuM) now being the 4th largest after Solana which saw US$0.74m inflows last week.

  • Fed's Kashkari: U.S. Treasury Market is Operating Normally

    On August 23, Federal Reserve's Kashkari downplayed market concerns over rising U.S. Treasury yields, stating that the market is functioning well and that the recent surge is unlikely to impact discussions on monetary policy. Kashkari said on Sunday, "All signs indicate that the U.S. Treasury market is operating normally, trading is proceeding smoothly, and market liquidity is ample, so we can use the federal funds rate as the primary tool to reduce inflation." Last week, yields on U.S. Treasuries across various maturities rose, with the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield closing around 4.73%. The 30-year Treasury yield remained near its highest level since 2007. Kashkari noted that while current Treasury yields are relatively high compared to recent historical levels, they are much lower than those in the 1990s. "We need more data, but I don't want to prejudge the outcome of the next meeting," he said, "However, I do not currently believe that inflation will fall back to target levels in the short term."
