Digital asset investment products posted $230 million in net inflows for the week ended March 21, marking a sharp deceleration from the $635 million recorded in the first two days of the period, according to a CoinShares weekly report published Monday.
The slowdown came after markets interpreted the Federal Open Market Committee’s Wednesday meeting as a “hawkish pause,” prompting $405 million in midweek outflows.
“While the prevailing view attributes this to the increasingly protracted Iran conflict weighing on sentiment, we believe the more likely cause is the market’s ‘hawkish pause’ interpretation of the US Federal Reserve’s Wednesday meeting,” CoinShares head of research James Butterfill wrote in the report.
Bitcoin-based products dominated the week’s activity, accounting for 95.2% of total net flows. The asset saw $219 million in inflows, a sharp decline from the $793 million recorded the previous week. Short-bitcoin products continued to attract capital with $6 million in inflows, compared to $8.1 million in the prior period, which CoinShares noted highlights ongoing polarized views for the asset.
Ethereum funds recorded $27.5 million in outflows last week, ending a three-week streak of inflows, the report noted. Solana products posted $17 million in inflows, marking its seventh consecutive week of gains for a cumulative total of $136 million. Chainlink and Hyperliquid also saw inflows of $4.6 million and $4.5 million, respectively.
Regionally, all exchanges recorded net weekly inflows. The United States led with $153 million, followed by Germany and Switzerland at $30.2 million and $27.5 million, respectively, according to the CoinShares data.
