The past week witnessed a significant downturn in Bitcoin’s weekly inflow, which dwindled to $126 million amidst heightened market volatility.

Conversely, Ethereum continued to face challenges, marking its 5th consecutive week of outflows, with $29 million exiting the market. These trends underscore the volatility and uncertainty prevailing within the cryptocurrency ecosystem, necessitating caution and strategic decision-making among investors.
Regional Disparities and Investment Trends
Regional disparities were evident in cryptocurrency investment trends, with the US witnessing the largest outflows totaling $145 million, followed closely by Switzerland and Canada. Despite these outflows, Germany emerged as a notable exception, capitalizing on recent price weakness as an opportunity for investment, with $29 million in inflows. This divergence highlights varying investor sentiments and strategies across different regions in response to market conditions.
