US$527m inflows, but trade tariffs and DeepSeek news influencing investors

  • Digital asset investment products saw inflows totalling $527m last week. However, intraweek flows reflected volatile investor sentiment, heavily influenced by broader market concerns, such as the DeepSeek news.
  • Bitcoin saw inflows totalling US$486m last week while short-bitcoin saw a second week of inflows totalling US$3.7m.
  • XRP is now the 2nd best performing altcoin, seeing YTD inflows of US$105m with US$15m inflows last week.

Digital asset investment products saw inflows totalling $527m last week. However, intraweek flows reflected volatile investor sentiment, heavily influenced by broader market concerns, such as the DeepSeek news, which triggered $530m in outflows on Monday. Despite this initial sell-off, the market rebounded with over $1bn in inflows later in the week. Given the $44bn in inflows seen in 2024, US$5.3bn inflows year-to-date (YTD) and significant price gains, the current sell-off is not unexpected.

Regionally, the US saw full week inflows totalling US$474m and US$5bn YTD. Similar sentiment was seen in Europe, with US$78m inflows last week and US$93m YTD. Canada suffered last week with US$43m outflows, perhaps due to the threat of trade tariffs imposed by the US.

Bitcoin saw inflows totalling US$486m last week while short-bitcoin saw a second week of inflows totalling US$3.7m. Ethereum ended the week with a net zero flows, but suffered earlier in the week, likely due to its greater exposure to the technology sector and the global growth outlook. XRP is now the 2nd best performing altcoin, seeing YTD inflows of US$105m with US$15m inflows last week.

Blockchain equities have seen YTD inflows of US$160m as investors see current price weakness as a buying opportunity.

  • Trump to Receive Briefing on New Military Plans Against Iran Including Strong Strikes and Control of Hormuz Strait

    On April 30, two informed sources stated that Trump plans to receive a briefing on Thursday from General Brad Cooper, the commander of U.S. Central Command, regarding new plans for potential military action against Iran. This briefing indicates that Trump is seriously considering the resumption of large-scale military operations to break the negotiation deadlock or deliver a decisive blow before ending the war. Three sources revealed that Central Command has prepared a plan for a 'short and powerful' strike against Iran, which may include targeting infrastructure. The expectation is that Iran would then show greater flexibility on nuclear issues and return to the negotiating table. Another plan expected to be presented to Trump involves controlling parts of the Strait of Hormuz to restore commercial shipping passage. One source indicated that such actions could involve ground troops. Another option that has been discussed in the past and may be presented in the briefing is to conduct special operations to ensure control over Iran's highly enriched uranium reserves. Cooper had previously briefed Trump on similar matters on February 26, and two days later, the U.S. and Israel launched a war against Iran. A person close to Trump stated that that briefing led to Trump's decision to go to war.

  • First Refunds from 'Trump Tariffs' to Be Issued Around May 11

    On April 30, a document from the U.S. International Trade Court indicated that the first refunds for tariffs imposed by the Trump administration under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act will be issued around May 11. The U.S. Supreme Court announced a ruling on February 20, stating that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize the president to impose large-scale tariffs. A ruling by a U.S. International Trade Court judge on March 4 ordered Customs and Border Protection not to impose tariffs based on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act during tariff liquidation. This means that tariffs previously imposed under this law must be refunded. (Dongxin News Agency)
