Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins failed to recover from the late November recovery and had a bad start to December.
This decline is thought to be due to growing concerns about global liquidity withdrawals, as the Bank of Japan hinted at an interest rate hike, highlighting the possibility of a decrease in yen-based carry trades.
While wondering whether the decline will continue, Coinshares released its weekly cryptocurrency report and stated that there was an inflow of $1.07 billion last week.
Cryptocurrency investment products saw an inflow of $1.07 billion after four weeks of heavy outflows, as hopes for a US interest rate cut rose following comments by FOMC member John Williams.
When looking at individual crypto funds, it was seen that the majority of inflows were in Bitcoin.
While Bitcoin experienced an inflow of $464 million, Ethereum (ETH) experienced an inflow of $309 million.
When we look at other altcoins, Solana (SOL) and XRP also experienced inflows due to the influence of ETFs.
XRP saw an inflow of $289.2 million, Solana saw an inflow of $4.4 million, and Cardano (ADA) saw an outflow of $19.3 million.
