Crypto Exodus: $1.7B Vanishes in Record-Breaking Streak! ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ’ธ

In a tale as old as timeโ€”or at least as old as 2015โ€”cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs) have been hemorrhaging funds like a leaky faucet in a drought. Last week, the market bid adieu to a staggering $1.7 billion, marking the fifth consecutive week of outflows. ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’จ

After a brief moment of respite with a mere $876 million outflow the week prior, the floodgates reopened, and the past trading week saw the total five-week outflows balloon to $6.4 billion, as reported by CoinShares on March 17. ๐Ÿ“‰๐Ÿ’”

This relentless exodus has now stretched to 17 straight days of outflows, a record-breaking streak since CoinShares began keeping tabs in 2015. James Butterfill of CoinShares noted this with the kind of understatement one might use when describing a minor inconvenience, like spilling tea on oneโ€™s favorite Tolstoy novel. ๐Ÿ“šโ˜•

Despite the pervasive gloom, year-to-date (YTD) inflows remain in the black at $912 million, a small silver lining in an otherwise stormy sky. ๐ŸŒฉ๏ธโœจ

Bitcoin ETPs: The $5.4 Billion Farewell Tour

Bitcoin (BTC) ETPs, the once-darling of the crypto world, have been on a selling spree that would make even the most seasoned trader blush. After a $756 million outflow in the first week of March, the week from March 10 to March 14 saw an additional $978 million vanish into the ether. ๐Ÿ•ณ๏ธ๐Ÿ’ธ

This five-week selling frenzy has drained $5.4 billion from BTC ETPs, leaving a paltry $612 million in YTD inflows by March 14. Itโ€™s as if Bitcoin decided to go on a sabbatical, leaving its investors to wonder if it will ever return. ๐Ÿงณ๐ŸŒ

Meanwhile, Ether (ETH) and Solana (SOL) ETPs saw outflows of $175 million and $2.2 million, respectively. XRP (XRP) ETPs, ever the contrarian, continued to buck the trend with an additional $1.8 million in inflows. ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒˆ

This is a developing story, and further updates will be added as they emerge. Stay tuned, dear reader, for the next chapter in this saga of financial intrigue and digital drama. ๐Ÿ“–๐ŸŽญ
