Institutional Sentiment

Bitcoin noted substantial negative flows amounting to $10.1 million. On the other hand, BTC short investment products saw inflows totaling $9.2m, highlighting the not-so-positive sentiment.
Ethereum was in a comparatively better position. Highlighting so, CoinShares’ latest weekly report noted,
“Ethereum saw minor outflows totaling US$6m while the large inflows into short products seen the previous week were completely reversed with an outflow of US$15.2m. It is still too early to say this is a positive change in sentiment.“
Most Alts like XRP, BNB, MATIC, and XTZ noted negative flows [$0.5 million, $0.3 million, $0.3 million, and $0.2 million respectively]. Solana, however, stood apart and noted a minor inflow worth $0.1 million.
