As Bitcoin continues to trade below $60,000, Coinshares has released its weekly cryptocurrency report.
Coinshares, which stated that it experienced a small inflow of $30 million into cryptocurrency investment products last week, said that the popular altcoin Solana saw a record outflow.
“While there was a small inflow of $30 million total into crypto investment products last week, recent macroeconomic data suggests the Fed is less likely to cut interest rates by 50 basis points in September.”

“While a total of $42 million inflows into Bitcoin occurred, short Bitcoin ETFs saw a total outflow of $1 million for the second week in a row.
Ethereum saw just $4.2 million in inflows last week, but that masked the intense activity among providers. $104 million in inflows into new providers, while Grayscale saw $118 million in outflows.
