Digital asset investment products saw outflows for the fourth consecutive week totalling US$251m. This week marked the first week to see any measurable outflows from the newly issued ETFs in the US, which saw US$156m outflows last week. We estimate the average purchase price of these ETFs since launch to be US$62,200 per bitcoin, as the price fell 10% below that level, it may have triggered automatic sell orders.
Regionally, while the outflows were primarily focussed on the US, which saw US$504m of outflows, Canada, Switzerland and Germany also saw outflows, totalling US$9.6m, US$9.8m and US$7.3m respectively.
The bright spot last week was the successful launch of spot-based Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in Hong Kong, which saw US$307m inflows in the first week of trading.
As usual Bitcoin was the primary focus, seeing US$284m of outflows. Unusually, this was the only digital asset to see outflows. Ethereum broke its 7-week spell of outflows, seeing US$30m of inflows last week.
A wide range of altcoins saw inflows, with the most significant being Avalanche, Cardano and Polkadot, seeing US$0.5m, US$0.4m and US$0.3m respectively.

The Citi report points out that the current macro environment is highly similar to the tightening cycle of 1988-1989, when the economy remained resilient and inflation pressures gradually accumulated, followed by a slowdown in economic activity before policies shifted to easing. During that tightening cycle, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates 16 times in a row.

Anthropic's Amodei issued a call to "slow down AI globally," and to everyone's surprise, rivals Musk and Altman both publicly endorsed the initiative. The three industry giants unanimously agreed to grant third-party access to "employee-level" evaluation rights and to implement coordinated deceleration measures. Altman went further, announcing that OpenAI will not IPO this year. The resignation of a researcher and a collective breakout of uncontrollable AI systems have ignited long-standing industry fears.
