Volume 196: Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report
Low inflows overall at US$30m, but Solana suffers its largest outflows on record
- Last week, digital asset investment products experienced minor inflows totalling US$30m, as recent macroeconomic data implied the FED were less likely to cut interest rates by 50 basis points in September.
- Ethereum saw only US$4.2m inflows last week, although this masked a flurry of activity between providers.
- Solana saw outflows of US$39m, the largest on record, as it faced a sharp decline in trading volumes of memecoins, on which it heavily relies.
Last week, digital asset investment products experienced inflows totalling US$30m. However, this modest figure conceals varying trends among different investment product providers, as established providers continued to lose market share to issuers of newer investment products. Weekly trading volumes on investment products fell to nearly 50% of the week prior at US$7.6bn, as recent macroeconomic data implied the FED were less likely to cut interest rates by 50 basis points in September.
Flows were very mixed from a regional perspective, the US, Canada and Brazil saw inflows of US$62m, US$9.2m and US$7.2m respectively, while Switzerland and Hong Kong saw the most significant outflows totalling US$30m and US$14m respectively.
Bitcoin saw inflows saw the most significant inflows, totalling US$42m, while short-bitcoin ETFs saw outflows for the second consecutive week totalling US$1m.
Ethereum saw only US$4.2m inflows last week, although this masked a flurry of activity, with new providers seeing US$104m inflows, while Grayscale saw US$118m outflows.
Solana saw outflows of US$39m, the largest on record, as it faced a sharp decline in trading volumes of memecoins, on which it heavily relies.

What has been revealed is not a "complete withdrawal of retail investors from AI," but rather a significant slowdown in overall market entry pace under macroeconomic pressure, with stock selections becoming more concentrated. In response to the Federal Reserve's unanimous decision to raise interest rates by 25 basis points, increasing the policy rate to 3.75%–4.00%, JPMorgan's assessment is: if this is simply a withdrawal of last year's "insurance-style rate cuts" during a shallow rate hike cycle—and if corporate earnings remain strong and the Middle East situation does not further spiral out of control—the stock market is still capable of absorbing rising interest rates.

The Bank of Japan has raised interest rates to 1.25%, marking the highest level since 1995 and the sixth increase since exiting the negative interest rate policy in March 2024.

In its statement, the Bank of Japan indicated it will continue to raise rates and adjust the degree of monetary easing, but the forward guidance language showed limited changes from the July statement, without sending notably more hawkish signals.
