Bitcoin and Ethereum Institutional Funds Record Fresh Losses, Experts Project Recovery
Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) institutional funds experienced outflows over the last seven days, following consecutive weeks in the red zone. The slow recovery led to wider price growth and increased institutional inflows, as bulls signaled further upward momentum. Macroeconomic indicators in the United States have shaped the market since President Donald Trump’s inauguration, posing a new dilemma for crypto holders.
Bitcoin and Ethereum Lead Losses
Negative macro sentiments affecting institutional volumes crept into recent trades. CoinShares Market Data shows a miner’s $6 million net inflows to crypto institutional funds. While this places the sector back in the green zone, Bitcoin and Ethereum products sustained stretched losses.
Bitcoin saw a weekly outflow of $6 million, bringing the monthly total to $894 million. This comes on the back of the market reaction to President Trump’s jolting tariffs. However, this week’s outflows cooled compared to early April due to the 90-day tariff suspension. Year-to-date (YTD) figures still favor bulls, at $541 million, which takes the assets under management to $114 billion.
It should be noted that the wider sentiment improved, resulting in a 12% increase in the Bitcoin price. With the price trading over $92k, institutional investors have circled in, coupled with a similar altcoin performance. This year, institutional investors were tipped to drive the asset above the $ 150,000 mark as positive regulations hit the U.S. market. Spot Bitcoin ETFs continue to fuel optimism after a significant leap in the past 12 months.
Meanwhile, Ethereum products hit another brick wall with a $26.7 million weekly loss. The altcoin leader faced heavy selling pressures after the price dropped below $1,600 before the current recovery. Ether’s monthly now stands above $115.5 million with over $7.9 billion in assets under management.
Altcoins Mark Gains
Aside from Ethereum, other crypto assets recorded inflows as sentiments flipped. Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA) saw $0.3 million inflows while XRP posted larger $37 million gains. Institutional investors remain focused on the possibility of a spot XRP ETF approval in the United States. Last week, mid-week retail figures also triggered $143 million outflows.
“Regionally, the US continued to see outflows, totalling US$71m last week. In contrast, Europe and Canada reflected more positive sentiment, with inflows of US$43.7m in Switzerland, US$22.3m in Germany, and US$9.4m in Canada,” CoinShares researchers added.
