Crypto ETF Outflows Hit $1.3 Billion as Prices Show Mixed Moves
Key Facts
As risk aversion persists in digital asset markets, crypto exchange-traded funds recorded massive outflows totaling $1.3 billion this week, according to reports from Motley Fool. Despite the exodus, Bitcoin closed up 0.3% at $59,623.62 on June 26, while Ethereum rose 0.4% to $1,567.40. Solana led gains with an 8.4% surge to $71.85, signaling divergent investor sentiment across different cryptocurrencies.
The outflows come amid a macro backdrop of elevated interest rates and inflation in major economies, prompting investors to reduce exposure to high-risk assets. Market data shows digital currencies remain sensitive to central bank policies, with Canadian inflation rising to 3.2% in May, per recent economic releases, reinforcing a cautious stance.
On current trading, BTC traded at $59,623.62 on June 26, above its intraday low of approximately $59,300. Traders are eyeing upcoming Federal Reserve speeches and US inflation data as potential catalysts that could sway risk appetite and shape the near-term direction of crypto markets.
