CoinShares’ digital assets weekly report on Monday revealed that crypto ETFs saw their highest outflows since March, totaling $725.7 million. This is suggested to have resulted from last week’s lower-than-expected Nonfarm Payroll (NFP) report.<\/p>\n
Crypto investment products recorded a second week of outflows last week, with $725.7 million in net outflows, per CoinShares data. The report indicates that the huge outflows may have resulted from the overly high anticipation for a 25 basis point interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve in September.<\/p>\n
The US and Canada spearheaded net outflows of $721 million and $28 million, respectively. On the other hand, Europe noted inflows, with Germany and Switzerland recording positive flows of $16.3 million and $3.2 million, respectively.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Among digital asset classes, Bitcoin<\/a> ETFs were the most affected, recording outflows totaling $643 million. BTC also witnessed a significant dip in its price, diving below $54K before seeing a slight correction on Monday. The decline follows August’s NFP report, which noted an in-line unemployment rate of 4.2% but lower-than-expected jobs growth.<\/p>\n
